Privileged to be a child of God.

[Josh @JoShlongg]

The things that happen in your mind are there because of things that happen outside of it. Beware of Gnosticism, God is our spiritual Father, not our psychological counselor. The means God uses to change our hearts affects how we perceive and interpret the world, not the other way around.

Don’t struggle with the intangibility of your faith if you don’t struggle with the intangibility of God. In reality, God is perfectly tangible to all of His children, as a life lived in obedience to the Lord always produces fruit that can be seen, heard, and felt. It is the primary ministry for all who believe. God bless, brother.

My biggest problem with each denomination:

Presbyterian: worship is too wild and crazy
Catholic: nobody knows they exist
Orthodox: style too modern
Lutheran: no focus on the sacraments
Baptist: too liberal
Methodist: argue theology nonstop
Nondenominational: too formal

Go ahead and LARP.

Let the fussers fuss. Let them call you cringe as they sit around and fuss, even.

As for me and my house, we’ll LARP our way back to some semblance of good and normal ways of living.

[Josh @JoShlongg]

The belligerence we see in our modern time is nothing new. To those living in sin, the peace and joy of the righteous is an intolerable offense.

[Josh @JoShlongg]

This is true regardless of your doctrine on hell. The point is that Christ died for you, and the right response to that grace and sacrifice is to follow Him.

[Tom Hicks @TomHicks2LCF]

I’ve never understood how this helps evangelism. “Come trust in Christ’s blood which is so powerful to save that it covers multitudes who are burning in hell right now.” Actually, you might better trust in your own faith. The blood makes no difference.

[Josh @JoShlongg]

We live in a society where people see a person with a gun and think that legal protections will prevent them from getting shot.

Legal or not, nothing stops someone with a gun who wants to shoot you from shooting you except someone with a gun shooting them first.

[Gabriel Hughes @Pastor_Gabe]

Calvinism is biblical.

The doctrines of grace, those which are referenced in the acrostic TULIP, are simply a summary of what the Bible teaches about the sovereignty of God in salvation.

[Josh @JoShlongg]

If a church does not preach real sin and humble repentance every single Sunday, it is a dead church with no life in it.

[Josh Barzon @JoshuaBarzon]

What is a theological opinion or belief you have that will get you into this position?

[Josh @JoShlongg]

@JoshuaBarzon In this day and age, you need to explicitly define what you mean by racism. The lack of clarity on these terms is why so many people are being deceived.

[Josh @JoShlongg]

@JoelWebbon It's easy to push back on a pendulum that has swung too wide. It's also easy to let it hit you in the face. It's hard to find the appropriate compromise, and that compromise is simply acknowledging that race and culture are often more interrelated than we are willing to admit.

[Brian Sauvé @Brian_Sauve]

One of the best ways to win people to a position is to be obstinately and patiently cheerful about it—secure in your conviction, not always trying to debate it at every internet opportunity.

Needing to debate at every opportunity is often just insecurity about your position.

[Josh @JoShlongg]

Sometimes reflecting on your life is just as good as watching your favorite cringe comedy.

[Josh @JoShlongg]

The dream takes work. If you think quick, easy, and rich gonna make you happy you're gonna end up 42 and miserable.

Washington springs and summers are actually paradise.

I’m taking my boyfriend to Modesto and so far on our itinerary we’re going to: take a tour of meth labs, look at that one cow, firkin and commonwealth. Any other Modesto gems suggestions?
