Our highest loyalty, as followers of Jesus, is not our national loyalty. It's not our political or ethnic loyalty. Our highest loyalty is to Jesus. @dasscherick ARISE Intensive Germany
@Travis_in_Flint Ok probably not…and I’m not from wherever this is…but what if the people in this region are strict conservatives in respect to the US flag code section 8? 🤔😁
The aim of the Christian life
Is not mere contemplation of God
But imitation of Christ.
It is not merely to know God,
But to love God,
With all the heart, strength, and soul
And your neighbor as yourself.
Not a mere profession,
but a life of Spirit-filled,
joyful obedience.
“Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.”
Proverbs 30:5 NKJV
My mind wandered this morning recalling many times I could have died in some events in my life, and I’m overwhelmed at God’s love for me to prolong my years. I’m ever grateful.🥲
@anthony_bosman My heart mourns my own faithful dog. When it comes to the question of seeing them again I take 1 Corinthians 2:9 as a challenge to suppose the best outcome and know that it’s unbelievably better. Jesus loves them more than we do and this isn’t over.
@bunsenbernerbmd I’m Isaac the Australian Shepherd and I has this human! He gives great scritches. I keep not finding him and mum says he was at school. That’s a place too far to smell so it’s bad place. But then he came home for the summer and I am so happy.
Some say, "Not doctrines, just Jesus!"
But we follow Jesus because we believe the Bible doctrine that He is the only Son of God, the Creator and Redeemer of mankind, Who died for our sins and rose again.
Doctrines--teachings--are windows into the gospel.
Both/and.
@bunsenbernerbmd They got the quick of a nail for the first and hopefully only time ever. It was horrible and my Dadguy had to go to the puppy treats store and get the stop bleeding powder. They were very upset and I was upset because my foot was bleeding and because they were upset.
I get a lot of messages shaming me for using TikTok. 26% of adults under 30 get their news from TikTok, and even more teens. If we want scientifically literate and aware young people, we will cater to their style of information consumption. TikTok does a lot of GOOD too.
@ShannonDingle I don’t know who that is. I think that’s probably for the best. I don’t know you either but I think what you tweet is interesting/thought provoking/nice. I’m glad you are here.
God will never forget you. He will never neglect your needs. He knows that you need #peace. He cares for you and always will. Every #Sabbath is a sign of God's great #love for us. It is a sign that He really is the One who can and will provide everything we need. Happy Sabbath!
