@DrOakley1689 @D_B_Harrison @VirgilWlkrOMAHA To steal from “Just Thinking,” I wonder if those were either from the “Non Arminian Standard Bible” or the “Elect Standard Version.” 😂

2/ For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake, (Phil. 1:29)

Take comfort that God knows exactly what you need and will work it all out for your good. (Rom. 8:28)

1 / “Divine wisdom hangs up the thermometer at the furnace mouth, and carefully regulates the heat!” Spurgeon

Christian friend, your trial is ordained for your good!

[Jon Dingeldine @Pastor_JonD]

Trials are never fun but necessary!

"Before I was afflicted, I went astray; but now I keep Your Word." Psalm 119:67

[Jon Dingeldine @Pastor_JonD]

@JonnyRoot_ Yeah and then proceeds to use profanity several times after that. 🤦‍♂️

“A cross without Christ never made any man better, but with Christ, saints are much better for the cross” John Flavel

“The truth of God is the only treasure for which we seek, and the Scripture is the only field in which we dig for it!” Spurgeon

@logiclives Why would you not mention Homeschooling? Even better!

"God, have mercy on me, a sinner!" Luke 18:13

“Heinous sins have damned their thousands--but self-righteousness has damned its tens of thousands!” Spurgeon

[Jon Dingeldine @Pastor_JonD]

3/ Better yet, pour more of your heart into knowing Christ! The one who will never leave you, forsake you, or let you down. …“I will never leave you nor forsake you. So we can confidently say, ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?’” (Heb. 13:5-6)

[Jon Dingeldine @Pastor_JonD]

1/ Friends pour your heart into loving and investing into men and women. Nevertheless, don’t forget the words of Christ,
“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves.” ( Matt. 10:16)

[Jon Dingeldine @Pastor_JonD]

2/ The Puritan John Flavel also warned against this danger with sound wisdom. “Not that there is no sincerity in any man, but because…there is so much corruption in the best of men, that we may not be too confident, nor lay too great a stress upon any man.”

[Jon Dingeldine @Pastor_JonD]

2/ "For we too were once foolish… enslaved to various lusts" (Titus 3:3). If we differ now, it is by grace alone.”
Thomas Watson

[Jon Dingeldine @Pastor_JonD]

1/ “The sins of others act as a mirror for us. What blazes openly in them, smolders secretly in us! Apart from restraining grace, the same corruption would bear the same fruit. This truth kills boasting and fuels gratitude.

[Jon Dingeldine @Pastor_JonD]

@innoutburger_ That’s why I get them well done and love them!

[Jon Dingeldine @Pastor_JonD]

@DerekEckels @BroSpencer History says otherwise! 🤦‍♂️

[Jon Dingeldine @Pastor_JonD]

Without iron sharpening iron, the blade of any man’s wisdom is bound to be blunt with pride.

"Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account." Hebrews 4:13

[Jon Dingeldine @Pastor_JonD]

@megbasham Have to read “What he must be to marry my daughter” from Voddie Baucham for a great primer on a biblical view of dating. It’s designed for daughters but you can see the young man roles with it as well.

[Jon Dingeldine @Pastor_JonD]

8/ Yet ultimately get busy with sharing the only true solution to our cultural decay, the life changing Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ!

Finally, don’t let your heart be troubled, God is working everything together for good to those who love Him (Romans 8:28)

[Jon Dingeldine @Pastor_JonD]

1/ Friends, the last week or so has been so tragic in so many respects. The constant demonizing from the left towards anyone who speaks the truth has created this environment.

[Jon Dingeldine @Pastor_JonD]

7 / Friends, in order for true change to really take place, and evil to be thwarted, if the Lord should tarry, we need to be concerned with the souls of man.

Pray that God might in His grace stymie the waves of liberal God-hating (at its core) rhetoric and violence..
