You have received outstanding counsel and empathy here, I know all too well the temptations that a young man faces and what a powerful pull the flesh has, especially when young and vibrant! ;)
The following is from an email to Ray, even though it does not specifically address your present situation exactly it does share a common theme.
DO NOT WORRY!
Dear Tina,
You are worrying yourself sick. Paul instructs us "DON'T WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING!!!!! (Phil. 2:8).
Now I know we don't all obey that command, but it is the truth. If we trust God we would worry about NOTHING!
Stop trying to "save yourself." Let God save you, or rather bring a realization of salvation to your heart and spirit. God isn't going to "trick" you into loosing your salvation, Tina. I suspect your husband is bringing more home from church than he left with. Demons do not want you to trust God for the salvation of all humanity, and so they are placing doubts in your mind about everything.
God is quite capable of saving all humanity and all of the heavenly host including all demonic forces. He will not loose ANYTHING that He has created for a purpose. They will ALL fulfill His purpose. You, Tina, have a purpose in God's Kingdom. There are evil forces that want to discourage you realizing that calling and purpose. I will pray that God will rebuke these evil forces causing you discouragement. Remember, it is through MUCH tribulation that we enter the Kingdom of God.
Trust me, Tina, God is not punishing you for not going to your husband's church. Study and pray daily for God's guidance in your life. Listen to GOD'S WORD and not to demons whispering in your ear! Let me know how else I can help you, Tina. You will be all right!
Sincerely,
Ray
His Peace to you,
Joe

I think I know what you are saying Alex. Why on Earth would someone SO Good, SO Holy want to save such a wretch as us hey Alex. WHY? Well perhaps it will be because He is of the Nature to do so regardless of our depravity He can turn it and all things to Good for those who LOVE Him. We do Love Him don't we Alex? We are not just fixated on how much we do not merit or deserve His Mercy right?
Peace to you friend

My "little alien boy"( ;)). Go back and reread YOUR posts to others. What a great source of inspiration! That is the REAL you. Don't let the phony, sinful, earthy YOU try to take your place.
Self speak!! Look in the mirror and repeat Gods Word to yourself!! That is where truth is. God's Word- not what you think you think. Not what you feel. Not even what you DO.
Now get up out of the mire, dust yourself off, end the pity-party, and REJOICE out loud right now!!! AGAIN I SAY REJOICE. The joy of the Lord is my strength. Do you believe it?? C'mon, we all are rooting for you!!!

Hi all. It's been a while since my last post. Firstly, all the best to all in 2008.
I'm still catching up with what I've missed out on since the last time I was here. This one caught my attention the most to inspire a response. Alex, here we are again venting and concerned about ourselves and our worthiness to be called His own. I believe that is what happens to us when going through the fire. I came across a post here about a potato, an egg and a coffee bean going through the fire (will look for it again). If I had a free will, I'd personally choose to be the bean.
As a word of encouragement, read the entire 2 Timothy 3. And again. And again. You'll find something in there (hopefully) to release the anger and disappointment. I can tell you now I'm constantly battling with myself over the same thing. But I've come to accept that it's me loosing 'myself' to come closer to Him. You feeling undeserving is to me the beginning of being (closer to) deserving. So keep fighting 'yourself' to loose yourself in Him.
Seeking His Glory,
Kweli
