Do your close, christian friends feel they have the liberty to tell you when you’re wrong?
If they haven’t in a while, ask them if they feel safe pointing out sin in your life.
Then put away pride and allow them to be the friends God calls them to be to you. 🙏🏼
Don’t get jaded. There are lots of faithful people out there. And many here. But most of them are out there beyond public view, serving Jesus quietly with no fanfare or applause. They do not care one flying flip in Florida about the socials. I bet they are saner than we are, too.
The questions for Kingdom ppl in this moment is NOT ‘Well, what about this ____?’
The major question is - ‘Can and should things be different in our nation?’ If you answer, yes, then next question- ‘How can I make it better’ Not the gov’t, not the schools - ME! What can I do?
This is a nerd tweet but in Gal. 1:16 I think the ESV/CSB miss it when they translate σαρκὶ καὶ αἵματι as “anyone.” "Human being” (CEB, NRSV, NIV, NET) is good but I like “flesh and blood” (NASB, KJV) best b/c it clearly links the first usage of σάρξ in Gal. w/ its later ones.
