Some of us were Atheists once, but we followed the free-thinking and logical path of evidence proving Christ to be true.
Perhaps the #1 reason many believers will miss Heaven? In our honest experience; adultery seems to be the most prevalent cause.
What if Acts 2:38 means exactly what it says, and that we don't need anyone telling us it doesn't? 🤔🫣
Those who remain in SIN will abhor those who don't. But the one who seeks Christ, finds eternal peace.
Sometimes we go through the bad to appreciate the good.
kingdoms built by the hands of men, come and go. But the Kingdom built by the mind of God lives forever.
Just because we've been invited to complain about stuff doesn't mean we need to participate. Be the solution, not the problem.
Don't let those who do nothing discourage you from the something you are doing.
What is commonly called "anime" (i.e., "a style of Japanese film and television animation, typically aimed at adults as well as children") is very popular these days, our children find it very captivating, some adults also. But some have concerns about the content and idea behind the art. So, as Christians, we are curious 👀
Water is Thicker than Blood

DOCTRINAL MATTERS
The human relationships that exist between individuals who are physically kin to each other can, indeed, be precious and beautiful. In fact, God was responsible for creating the family framework (Genesis 2:24). Ideally, He intends for people to experience the warm, tender ties of blood kin and the multiple blessings associated with such ties.
Perspective is lost, however, when physical ties are permitted to interfere with obedience to God. God’s point is missed when a higher premium is placed on physical family than on spiritual family, when a Christian fails to relish to a greater degree association with the family of God—the church. The Bible teaches that Christians should not hesitate for a moment to relinquish fleshly relationships if it becomes necessary to do so in order to put God first (Luke 14:20,24).
Commenting on the status of His own blood relatives, Jesus declared: “Whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother” (Matthew 12:50). He recognized that the stringency of His teaching would disrupt family relationships, and so He stated that “a man’s foes will be those of his own household” (Matthew 10:36). He even went so far as to relegate physical ties to the comparative level of hatred when contrasted to the priority of spiritual ties: “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Luke 14:26).
Such explains why, during the Mosaic period of Bible history, Aaron was not permitted to mourn the deaths of his two sons (Leviticus 10:6). Such explains why the wives, and even some children, perished along with Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, as they apparently were unwilling to oppose the blood ties of kinfolk who sinned (Numbers 16:27,32-33). Such explains why the people were to show no pity for their relatives who promoted false teaching, but were to lead the way in the execution process (Deuteronomy 13:6-11).
Yes, the family ties of blood kin can be extremely wonderful, providing unending security and acceptance, and frequently fulfill an important, divinely intended function. But these same blood ties can be the very thing that diverts a Christian from the strait and narrow, discouraging one from standing strongly and firmly on the solid bedrock of truth and right. It is imperative that God’s church be put first—even above family (Matthew 6:33). First allegiance and loyalty must be given to those who have been cleansed by the blood of Christ by passing through the waters of baptism (Ephesians 5:6; Titus 3:5; Hebrews 10:22). For with God, water is thicker than blood.

LENT; ash Wednesday
Is the practice of LENT; ash Wednesday, pleasing to God? Is it merely a matter of opinion, is it sinful to participate? Let’s try and have ourselves a constructive conversation so as to grow in our faith. Blessings.

"Lent is the solemn religious observance in the liturgical year in preparation for Easter. It echoes the 40 days Jesus spent fasting in the desert and enduring temptation by Satan." - Wikipedia
Don't put your trust in things. Things go away. Put your trust in Jesus. Jesus is eternal.
The closer you get to Jesus means the closer you get to His faithful local assembly, you can't seperate one from the other.
Be an advantage, not a liability. The world has enough takers. We need more givers 🎁

The wisdom Literature will teach us the difference between the good guys and the bad guys, it warns us to fear God and learn instead of being fools rejecting knowledge.
