Biblical Worship in all forms is primarily about giving and not receiving. Instead, receiving is a by-product of worship of Christ which ultimately satisfies and tranforms you.
My wife was told by a Child Protective Services (CPS) Director that in her many years of experience:
Every successful reunification of a child back with their parents that actually lasted… a local church was involved in the story 100% of the time.
Let that set in for a minute.
He said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’ - Luke 16:31
God's Word is sufficient.
In the digital age, idleness is the greatest danger to digital lust. Idly scrolling, idly Google searching, idly thinking our way to the "forbidden woman" of Proverbs 5.
Don't be idle, be mindful.
"The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost." 1 Tim. 1:15
If ever there were a trustworthy statement deserving full acceptance and an accurate attitude of oneself, this is it!
The way of the Kingdom of God is reprioritizing your life to put God and others first. Leverage your finances, time, hobbies and relationships to glorify God and love others.

Our greatest strength is not having undefined views and confusion about gender and roles within marriage so that we can pick and choose what we want like a buffet. Instead, it is having two clearly defined genders and roles so that men and women compliment each other.
It seems that our culture desires to draw heavy, thick lines to divide us by race but specifically blur the lines of gender. I believe these need to be switched. We are ONE humankind (unity in diversity) with two clearly defined genders. End the division. End the confusion.
Our GREATEST strength as humans is not our diversity (what distinguishes us; albeit this can be A strength) but our unity (what unites us). Diversity can only be a strength when unity is prioritized.
