Oh that is a big one Rosey Bee The Lord showed me a a critical lesson ...we must forgive others leaving the altar and forgiving others. A true litmus test for a Christian the number one rule love God with all our hearts and then love our neighbors. So many who in my life I prayed for even though they hit me and were mean like my step father. I prayed to God for him. The ultimate way I do is to think on that moment of truth. When someone is standing before God during the Day of The Lord no matter how much I may have "hated" someone in this life the thought of anyone perishing to hell helps me burn the chaff of unimportance
Excellent points made about the influences of this world that try and pull us away from Christ.
I too grew up listening to heavy metal and hard rock music.
There are so many worldly things that can do just that besides music. We must always be aware of what we listen to read and who we associate with to make sure we don’t get off of the narrow path.

Thanks again for reminding us of this truth !!!
Amen we have to remind ourselves what we were warned about dark spiritual powers at work
listening to angry toxic people. hateful words
I try to defend myself against people (family) that criticise me or
accuse me of doing things, or saying things that I did not. I need to let those things go
and just stop being hurt by it, and not lash out. Too many misunderstandings.
Others move on, and I carry the bruises but also the regret of how I responded
I never really got into heavy metal music. There are plenty of things on tv that are
not mentally healthy either.
