@0xitsmeNio@AzureCruzader His Gospel transcends all barriers. My feed is mostly Christian topics and I couldn't be more grateful. The algorithm has been baptized.
And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. 2 Corinthians 5 : 15
Lord, I come to you now, be with me now and forever. Give me the day that I may glorify your name. You alone are sufficient to heal. Never depart from me, be with me all the days of my life. In the name Jesus Christ, amen
Lord Jesus, we call on you for strength, that you can lighten our heavy burdens. Be with us as we struggle and provide us with the strength we need. Let us not be overcome with grief, but embrace us in the strife. Give us the day that we can surmount all things through you alone
@edgaralandough These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16 : 33
Regardless of what you believe, know this:
The world is in a fallen state. It is corrupt; wickedness abounds and waxes strong in the hearts of many.
We await the return of the messiah Jesus Christ, that He alone will correct our ways.
In the meantime, establish a relationship with Him. Read His word, He is the word, the bread of life and living water. He purifies sinners and others who have fallen. Pray that the Lord will be with you always.
Lord, steady my hands and soften my heart. Be with me now and forever. Lead me not astray, but guide me to everlasting life. Fill me with you spirit, that it remain in me. Hallow my ego and strip me until all that remains is your presence. Be near to me, show me your compassion. Search me and bring me closer to you and your fold. Be my shepherd, my protector. Comfort me and give wisdom that I may follow you more closely. Forgive my sin, wash me that I may be clean. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Father, give us strength that we may overcome. Be with us always, be the light that darkness cannot remain, cleanse us and make pure what is not. Lead us not astray but deliver us from iniquity. Be our sword and shield, protect us. In the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ, amen.
"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." 2 Timothy 1 : 7
Fear not, God is with you now and forever. You are the son's and daughters of a great and mighty God.
@churchtalkative In John we learn of Jesus mercy :
"... Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more." John 8 : 11
"... Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee." John 5 : 14
"Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away." James 4 :14
@DrJohannesHartl "For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him." Romans 10 : 12
Jesus Christ is the savior of all. There is no distinction.
One night, while in deep contemplation, I thought to myself; what can I achieve in this life?
What value do I offer? Am I nothing more than what I do for work and play? Am I meant for some grand purpose?
What can one man accomplish other than apostasy from old tradition in favor of a more soothing experience?
Are we to curse the day we first noticed our lacking? Asking the Lord; where do I lack?
Voltaire concluded candide, his criticism on optimism, by suggesting we tend to our garden. What if there are no gardens to attend? What are we to mind if not our lacking of a garden.
To bring one system down there must be a replacement. Many believe it will be reset by machines and ai. That human labor itself will be optimized beyond reproof. This cannot be.
On the day when all a man's labor provides is little by comparison, and when expectation is at an all time high, what will happen then? What value can be extracted if not one man is able to provide.
What is our destiny? To be observers in a world of illusion? What does the laborer require that cannot be optimized by machine?
Where must a man go to find usefulness? What part of the world still provides the opportunity to be productive?
I now understand why those monks spent their time wisely reading and transcribing scripture. There is little value elsewhere. The only value to be extracted is knowledge of our creator.
Following Christ's example is the only righteous path that can be followed. He alone provides an example of a perfected lifestyle. Everything else is vanity.
Jesus Christ is the solution to a dull or meaningless life. He instructed us all thousands of years ago and His word remains as true as ever. We are meant to follow our shepherd.
@v_e_k_e_02 Lord be with us now and forever. Let our hearts be softened and receptive to your will. Give us the strength to overcome. Preserve us, you know our downsitting and uprising, you percieve our thoughts from afar off. May your name be kept holy, amen
@kaitnielsen "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Matthew 6 : 21
We need society to align with God first. Politics shouldn't be the preeminent belief you have, it should be faith in Jesus Christ. Our societies prospered when it was closely aligned with God.
Yes. "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 8 : 38 & 39
