Answer 1

Jesus Steroids

Answer 2

Tis time to attend the church of Onan.

Onanism is and has been the way for all school age budding christians.

Be vigorous in your applications.

Answer 3

Jesus tells us to love God above all else, but He also said to love your fellow man more than you love yourself.

Find ways to be a blessing to your fellow man; go out of your way to do nice things for people.

Take time to listen to people and always be ready to learn from anyone at any time.

God's love is designed to flow into you, but then from you to your family, your close friends and so on.

If possible read the book OUTFLOW by Steve Sjogren and Dave Ping.

It's an excellent book which teaches Christians how to share their faith in the way God intended. By loving their fellow man.

Answer 7

That's a question for only God to answer, you must wait for him to answer since you are doing quite a bit now relax and before you know it you may need that stuff for faith works. Maybe God is allowing you to wait for something special to do with your faith.

Answer 8

Get a hobby; don't spend all of your life on God.  He'll still love you if you do other things with your time.

Answer 9

Get a bigger Bible. The extra effort from carrying it will make you stronger.

go to a christian school

Answer 11

"It doesn't matter how much you pray, how much you go to church, how much you tithe, you're a strong christian if you believe in God and respect Jesus.."

- Rachel-

She so told me that over the phone...

Answer 12

you are doing everything right. just keep praying and reading the Bible

Answer 13

You are very strong. I think christian and fiath is more of a spiritual thing. Thats my opinion, just having a relationship with God.  

Answer 14

Get more involved in the community, go on spiritual retreats, mission trips, Go out with groups of people and evangelize the Gospel, Listen and praise God with worship music, Study Christian Apologetics, Church History, Manuscripts.

I can relate to the feeling you have unlike some of the people in this world who dont know God the way many Christians do. Most of all ask the Lord to keep filling you daily with new things, ask him to send people into your life, and for you to be used by him daily for his will.

Hope this helps, Godbless.

Answer 15

Sin less, pray more, interact with other Christians.

Answer 16

You haven't been growing as fast as you used to?  What were you doing back when you were growing faster?  Go back to doing that.

You seem to DO a lot.  One youth group and two clubs is a lot of activity, so maybe you need to cut one or more of those out, and just go back to the basics.  Spend more of your time on the prayer and Bible reading.

Answer 17

i suggest fasting every now and again, it does not have to be food, just something that you find you spend a lot of time with and use that time not doing whatever it is your fasting focusing on God...

Answer 18

Well ask God to help you have a closer relationship with him... an to strengthen you in physical an spiritural way

Answer 19

Share your faith with people you meet after praying that God would set up some divine appointments. Don't just read your Bible, go out and do what it says even when it doesn't seem to make the best sense and see how God is faithful to watch over his Word to bring it to pass.

Jeremiah 1:12  Then the LORD said to me, "You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to perform it."

Answer 20

Sounds like you are a very faithful Christian and doing alot for the Lord, I do that as an older Christian now I have learned that fasting is a good way to get you closer to God. I try to fast one day a week just from basically sunup to sundown, and since I have to take medicine I usually drink water or some kind of juice to drink. You can fast in many different ways but no matter how you do it pray alot more than usual and try and spend time just listening for the Holy Spirit to speak. Alot of times our Prayer life gets where we are doing all the talking and God gets shut out, I have a bad habit of that myself, and its something I need to work on. The Spirit wants to tell us things but we just aren't listening, we are to busy talking, remember romans 10:17, Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Amen!!

Answer 21

Answer 22

You're on the right track.  Consistancy is key.  Especially studying the Bible.  You need to know and live the Word.  Bottom line, walking in the Spirit and in love.

Answer 23

Remember its not what we can do to be better christians....

All Jesus wants is for us to love Him, follow Him, and above all Love others. This is how God uses us to show people that are lost, the love of Jesus.  This will win a few/lots of hearts to Christ.

God bless.....

Answer 24

Set a few days aside and go on a fast. Just you. A few days by yourself with no outside contact can really put you in touch with your inner self and bring you closer to God.  

Answer 25

My answer is CT's answer... i gave it to him over the phone... no joke. but anyway I'm being serious, you sound like a strong christian to me... you can only do so much, God sees that you are devoted to worshiping Him, maybe you feel this because He has a bigger plan for you. Maybe you should become a minister or a youth group leader... maybe God's plan for you to become a better christian is for you to help others to find God and to teach people who want to believe what it is really like to be christian... btw, proud of you for standing up for what you believe... Good luck and God Bless

Answer 26

I grew up in a Christian home and trusted in Jesus for eternal life, but didn’t have any power in my life to really live for Him.  Doing all the good, religious things didn’t help me to know God.  I had tried to live “the Christian life” and couldn’t, so I gave up trying.  Then someone shared a booklet with me about living by God's power.  This booklet was written by Bill Bright of Campus Crusade for Christ, and it’s made available now online by a number of solid Christian organizations.  

I went through the booklet back then, repented of trying to be Christ-like in my own strength, and received power that has changed my life.  Jesus became more real, the Bible came alive to me, and prayer became an adventure.  It’s been many years now, and it just keeps getting better!  Please follow one or both of these links to read this online “booklet.”  There’s a prayer at the end – it’s not magic, you know: you don’t have to pray the exact words, but you must mean it and expect God to do exactly what He promises to do.  He’ll fill you with life and power like you’ve never dreamed.

Answer 27

To grow in faith, you need to stretch your faith...step out in faith....act in faith.

Take a leap of faith. Do something that requires a lot of faith otherwise it would be impossible. Put your trust in the Lord.

You grow in faith when you stretch your faith. Do things with it you haven't done before.

How's this: instead of just reading your Bible, why don't you write sermons and publish them in a blog? Then you can share your faith with others.
