What makes me special? I’m not. Christian, Husband, Father

[Dave @DJCGSC]

How do you actually become a Christian?
Not culturally, not by family tradition — but personally?
Here’s a simple, biblical walk-through using the NIV. ↓

[Declaration of Memes @LibertyCappy]

Real

[Immortal Tessy @TheresaArueyin1]

Imagine you get to Heaven, and someone tells you: "I got here because you weren't afraid to tell me about Jesus."

[Anna Lulis @annamlulis]

Exactly how he was in the womb

Equally human and worthy of life

[Immortal Tessy @TheresaArueyin1]

Following Jesus is not for the faint-hearted.

It will have you praying for people who hurt you, forgiving people who wronged you, and blessing people who expected revenge.

That's kingdom living.

[Dave @DJCGSC]

Jesus is Lord

[Thomas Sowell Daily @DailySowell]

Thomas Sowell on engineers vs intellectuals:

“The engineer is judged by the end product. If he builds a building that collapses, it doesn’t matter how brilliant his idea was—he’s ruined.”

“Conversely, if an intellectual has an idea for rearranging society and that ends in disaster, he pays no price at all.”

[Konstantin Kisin @KonstantinKisin]

What if the west isn't the villain they told you it was?

We’ve spent years accepting accusations about racism, intolerance, and slavery without challenging the bigger historical reality:

The societies most condemned today are also the ones that led the world in ending slavery, expanding rights, and building the most tolerant nations on earth.

That’s the conversation nobody wants to have.

@4thOfJuly365 yes He is

[Dave @DJCGSC]

@annamlulis true

[Dave @DJCGSC]

@GadSaad @patrick_cl80400 agree

@AbbyJohnson Kids’ rights first… every child deserves a mother. We’re a depraved society when we allow this and mock the child’s pain. Protect children over adult desires.

[Dave @DJCGSC]

makes sense

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Trump: "I don't have time to be depressed. You know, if you stay busy enough, maybe that works too. That's what I do."

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life." –John 3:16 #Bible

[Dave @DJCGSC]

Matthew 20:28

just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.

[Dave @DJCGSC]

@AbbyJohnson Agree.

[Dave @DJCGSC]

@LeeStrobel He must have a reputation…

John 14:27

“Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.”

[Dave @DJCGSC]

John 16:33

“These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”

“So his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.”
~Exodus 17:12

The prayer of Moses was so mighty that everything depended upon it. The petitions of Moses disconcerted the enemy more than the fighting of Joshua. Yet both were needed. In the soul's conflict, force and fervor, decision and devotion, valor and vehemence must join their forces, and all will be well.

You must wrestle with your sin, but the major part of the wrestling must be done alone in private with God. Prayer like Moses' holds up the token of the covenant before the Lord. The rod was the emblem of God's working with Moses, the symbol of God's government in Israel. Learn, praying saint, to hold up the promise and the oath of God before Him. The Lord cannot deny His own declarations. Hold up the rod of promise, and have what you seek.

Moses grew tired, and then his friends assisted him. Whenever your prayer loses vigor, let faith support one hand, and let holy hope lift up the other, and prayer seating itself upon the stone of Israel, the rock of our salvation, will persevere and prevail. Beware of growing faint in your devotion.

If Moses felt it, who can escape? It is far easier to fight with sin in public than to pray against it in private. It has been observed that while Joshua never grew weary in the fighting, Moses did grow weary in the praying; the more spiritual an exercise, the more difficult it is for flesh and blood to maintain it.

Let us cry, then, for special strength, and may the Spirit of God, who helps our weaknesses as He helped Moses, enable us like him to continue with our steady hands "until the going down of the sun," until the evening of life is over, until we shall come to the rising of a better sun in the land where prayer is swallowed up in praise.
