Deep dives
Avoiding Entertaining Negative Thoughts
To stop making up situations in your head, it's important to recognize that you have control over what you think about. Rather than getting caught up in hypothetical scenarios, slow down and acknowledge those thoughts, but don't entertain them. Refocus your mind on something positive or turn the thoughts into a prayer. Be intentional in choosing what you think about.
The Importance of Being Equally Yoked
The concept of being equally yoked comes from the biblical idea of not being unequally yoked with unbelievers. It is crucial to be in a relationship with someone who shares your deep faith in Jesus. While differences in theology or denominations can be worked through, ensure that both individuals are truly believers and committed to following Jesus wholeheartedly.
Smoking Weed and Sin
Smoking weed, especially to get high or intoxicated, is considered a sin. THC, the psychoactive component in marijuana, is not meant to be abused to alter one's state of mind. It is important to consider the spiritual and physical effects of using marijuana, even if it is for medicinal purposes. Seek guidance from a trusted doctor who aligns with your faith and follow their recommendations.
The Sinful Nature of Intoxication
Whether it is through smoking weed or consuming alcohol, intoxication is seen as a sin. Getting high or drunk can lead to impaired judgment, unhealthy behavior, and can hinder one's relationship with God. It is essential to pursue being filled with the Holy Spirit rather than seeking an altered state of mind through substances.
