Why Can’t I Stop Sinning?
I am a believer in Christ and that He was raised from the dead for my sins. However, I still sin, even blaspheme God’s name sometimes when I get frustrated from a long day of work, responsibility,etc. I know that I can’t lose my salvation, but how could a believer do things such as this and how can I stop? I get so mad at myself when I do this, but I still do it.

To Eternity And Beyond
I have a question concerning the events at the end of the millennium. As I understand it, at the end of the millennium Satan is released from the pit and deceives many and they are destroyed by the Lord. What about the ones that do not rebel and are saved?
I have read one opinion that they are preserved (like Noah) while the Earth and Heavens are renovated by fire. Then they (still having their fleshly bodies) receive a new heart and then repopulate the Earth and Heavens in eternity?

I Want A More Passionate Faith
I consider myself saved and a firm believer in the sacrifice of Christ, yet I’m still continually nagged by feelings of doubt. I can’t really describe what it is that’s bothering me, but I realize it has something to do with me not fully grasping the centrality of Jesus in God’s plan for salvation.
I pray that I would “get it”, but I wonder if I’m over analyzing things, relying too heavily on myself and dwelling on my doubts. I feel nudged by the Holy Spirit, but I’m not really sure what it is I should be praying for. I desire a stronger faith but I seem to be at a major roadblock.
