Emancipation through Christ’s saving death and resurrection will always sound like fear-mongering to those blindfolded by their Stockholm Syndrome to sin.

A hero gives of Himself to those who claim He’s just an option. For belief that He’s dispensable is what makes Him needed. ✝️

[Steve Y. Gardner @SteveYGardner]

Those born again in Christ did not change — we WERE CHANGED. We are the unsuspecting recipients of new life. For He who makes manifest His fruit of Salvation delivered us from the death of worldly flesh.

Nowhere in the Bible did God say to us, “You know what, guys...if you’re happy, then I’m happy!”

In the court room, plead guilty and you are sentenced. In Christ, plead guilty and you are forgiven.

[Steve Y. Gardner @SteveYGardner]

To be clear: We are made in the image of God. God is not made in the image of us. 👀

FYI: Moral Relativism (aka “All truths are true,”) was the VERY FIRST enticement tactic Satan played on Eve. 🐍

The world will begin to reject you when you reject its temptations. Celebrate that the light of Christ means the forfeiture of Satan.✝️

Embracing the weight of our guilt draws us further from the will of this world and nearer to the will of the Lord. 🕊

[Steve Y. Gardner @SteveYGardner]

Jesus Christ died on the cross for us so that our sins may be forgiven — not excused. ✝️

[Steve Y. Gardner @SteveYGardner]

Think about it. Our society brainwashes us into believing our blessings come as a direct result of how “utterly amazing” we are, instead of how truly gracious God is. How are we to ever fully comprehend His mercy if we continue to convince ourselves we are somehow entitled to it?

[Steve Y. Gardner @SteveYGardner]

Many people believe that if Jesus Christ really loved us, He’d just accept how we behave. But it’s when we truly love Him, that WE no longer accept how we behave.

[Steve Y. Gardner @SteveYGardner]

Righteousness does not extinguish all suffering. For if it did, it would then be an act of the strategic mind and not of the faithful heart. 🌪

[Steve Y. Gardner @SteveYGardner]

So many people are willing to admit that we’re all flawed human beings and then somehow still maintain that morality should be left wide
open to that same flawed interpretation. 🕊

[Steve Y. Gardner @SteveYGardner]

If we were worthy and deserving of God’s mercy, then it wouldn’t be called mercy. 🙏🏽

[Steve Y. Gardner @SteveYGardner]

When we deny the one true God we have no reason not to make our lives all about us. Our will. Our desires. Our truths. And when we abandon Him, what reason does He have not to abandon us? 😞

[Steve Y. Gardner @SteveYGardner]

All these years I’ve spent questioning our Lord and Savior. Only to realize that, since the beginning, I was the one on trial.
I am humbled. I repent. ✝️

[Steve Y. Gardner @SteveYGardner]

Every question I’ve ever asked was left unanswered. Why? Because I was too busy asking myself when I should’ve been asking God. ✝️

[Steve Y. Gardner @SteveYGardner]

ever so delicately discarded as “dark energy” self-fulfills a God Complex of perpetuated, ego-driven righteousness. Sounds pretty. Smells shitty. 💩 #YouYourselfandWhy

Narcissistic Abuse in New Age Spirituality is covert...like pixie-dusted, sparkled shit. Isolation under the guise of rapid ascension. Emotional manipulation masked as mirroring. And any opposition
