So, you got detention. You screwed up. You know what you did was wrong. The question is, how are you going to make things right...with God? ——— Mark 1:14-15
The reason I left the Avengers: "Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, 'Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.' ...Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." (Romans 12:19-21)
@Shilohmarx Call the Secretary of State’s office and ask them how they verify the citizenship checkbox on voter registration forms. Counties have to use VoteCal to confirm/verify citizenship, VoteCal is controlled by the Secretary of State. The answer will shock you (or maybe it won’t).

@objectaaron Trusting fully on the merit of Christ is repentance. Hence, why Jesus said, “Repent and believe in the Gospel” (Mark 1:15).
“No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” —Jesus the Christ, the Son of God (Luke 13:3,5)
Men and women can be horrible to each other. It’s impossible to get through life without trauma from someone else. And it’s natural to be angry.
But a life spent in hatred will neither avenge your injustice nor make you happy.
Staying angry is easy. Forgiveness isn’t.
When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world, “No, YOU Move.”
(#repentance for the forgiveness of sins in Jesus Christ)
“We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.”
(1 John 4:6)
"The LORD is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him." Psalm 28:7
He is a shield eternally stronger than Vibranium.
Understand, O dullest of the people!
Fools, when will you be wise?
He who planted the ear, does he not hear?
He who formed the eye, does he not see?
He who disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke?
He who teaches man knowledge—
the Lord—knows the thoughts of man
(Ps. 94)
"For my iniquities have gone over my head;
like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me."
(Ps. 38:4)
Remedied in Christ Jesus:
"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest...For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
(Matt. 11:28-30)
Amen.
"Praise is due to you, O God, in Zion,
& to you shall vows be performed.
O you who hear prayer,
to you shall all flesh come.
When iniquities prevail against me,
you atone for our transgressions.
Blessed is the one you choose & bring near,
to dwell in your courts!"
@DeliveredDP I guess some things never change, huh Wade? People are still worshipping the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever, amen! (Romans 1:25). Also, please don't encourage Groot toward even more of a savior complex. Right, @TrinitarianRick?
@DeliveredDP @nautynautilus93 @butrum_michael @matrisciano_v3 Wade, when people think "Christlike," they typically think soft-spoken. But you mirror our Lord in His frankness, which is why I love you: "Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword" (Matt. 10:34-38).
"And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives."
(Mark 14:26)
Jesus singing a hymn with the disciples...that is such a lovely scene to ponder on.
@ReThormed@CoreyChapman @SeasOfEmbers That's really kind of you, Odinson. Though, I must say, I do prefer the sword of the Spirit as my weapon of choice.
