The world teaches self-love.

The Bible teaches self-denial.

The world says, “Follow your heart.”

Jesus says, “Deny yourself.”

The world says, “You deserve to be happy.”

Jesus says, “Take up your cross.”

The world says, “Be true to yourself.”

Jesus says, “Lose your life for My sake.”

Christianity is not about discovering yourself.

It’s about dying to yourself and living for Christ.

Family Estrangement Is Breaking More Hearts Than We Realized - So We Need to Talk About It Again

A Biblical Word for Those Still Waiting, Still Grieving, and Still Trying to Live

Key Passage

“The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.”
—Psalm 34:18

Introduction

A day and a half after addressing family estrangement, the responses were still arriving. People were not merely clicking a button, leaving a polite remark, and wandering off to the next distraction. They were telling their stories, sharing the message, confessing their grief, and recognizing themselves in words they had apparently needed somebody to say. Then the poll supplied another window into the wound. Nearly half of those responding identified estrangement from their children as their deepest family sorrow. More than a third selected another family member. Others named parents and spouses. That poll was not a national census, and nobody should dress eighty-four votes in a laboratory coat and parade them around as final social science. But it was something more personal and, in a pastoral sense, more revealing: it was a roomful of wounded people quietly raising their hands. Behind every percentage was a name missing from a telephone, a face absent from a photograph, an invitation left unanswered, or a relationship buried while both people were still breathing. We did not create this wound by discussing it. We merely turned on the light and discovered how many people had already been bleeding in the dark.

There is a place for the strong meat of the word. We should study prophecy, doctrine, dispensational truth, the nature of the church, the future of Israel, the judgment seat of Christ, the Second Advent, and every deep thing God has placed in His Book. But the same Bible that contains beasts rising from the sea also contains a father weeping over a rebellious son. The same Book that opens the seals in Revelation opens the broken heart in the Psalms. Paul wrote in Hebrews 5 about milk and strong meat, and some people have become so proud of displaying their doctrinal teeth that they forget milk is not an insult to the hungry. Bread is not inferior because a starving man needs it more urgently than a theological banquet. When a person has been cut off by a child, rejected by a parent, abandoned by a spouse, erased by grandchildren, or treated as dead by a living family, he may not need somebody to diagram Daniel’s seventieth week before breakfast. He may need to hear that God has not abandoned him, that grief is not unbelief, that truth still matters, and that another person’s rejection does not possess the authority to cancel his remaining life. Strong doctrine that cannot kneel beside a broken heart has become strong only in its own estimation.

So we are going to speak about this again—not to build a platform upon people’s pain, not to turn family misery into religious entertainment, and certainly not to appoint ourselves judges over homes we have never entered. There will be no cheap promise that every child will return, every parent will apologize, every sibling will awaken, or every marriage will recover. The Bible does not hand out guarantees God never signed. Neither will we assume that everybody who was rejected is innocent or that everybody who established distance is cruel. Sin can stand on either side of a closed door, and sometimes it has rented rooms on both sides. The purpose here is to comfort without flattering, correct without crushing, and direct without pretending that one essay can untangle every knot tied during thirty years of family history. I do not possess every answer, but I know the One who sees every concealed motive, remembers every forgotten conversation, hears every midnight prayer, and judges without mistaking volume for truth. If the Lord has moved hearts through this subject, then we should not hurry past it. Some wounds need more than a glance,

Sin excepciones los fines de semana.
Sin cambiar la rutina cuando había invitados.

🚨‼️Modern Christianity has reduced salvation to one vague word and then wonders why Christians cannot explain what happened to them. The King James Bible does not hand you a religious fog called “getting saved.” It gives you justification, redemption, reconciliation, propitiation, remission, forgiveness, regeneration, sanctification, adoption, and glorification. God’s vocabulary has edges because truth has distinctions.

Justification does not mean God helped a bad man behave better. It means the Judge declared a guilty believer righteous on the ground of Jesus Christ’s blood and righteousness. Redemption is not the same verdict; it is the purchase that brings the slave out of bondage. Regeneration is not either one; it is God giving life to a man who was “dead in trespasses and sins.” A courtroom, a slave market, and a morgue are not three names for the same building.

The modern pulpit often puts every doctrine into a blender, presses the “practical application” button, and serves the congregation a warm glass of religious mush. Then justification becomes lifelong probation, sanctification becomes self-salvation, forgiveness becomes temporary, and glorification becomes uncertain. Once the words lose their boundaries, works crawl into grace like termites into a wooden altar.

Learn the words God preserved. Every one of them reveals another glory of what Christ accomplished at Calvary. Salvation is not a thin emergency exit from hell; it is a complete work that changes the believer’s verdict, ownership, relationship, account, life, position, family standing, and eternal destiny. Grace did not merely get the sinner out of trouble. Grace brought him all the way into glory.

I kept going back to this clip.

Tom Jones stands there in that purple suit, lights low and violet, and the first thing you notice isn’t the famous song — it’s the weight in his voice. He doesn’t ease into it. He just starts, deep and a little rough, like someone who has already lived the lines he’s about to sing.

The stage feels quiet even though there’s a full band. Purple haze, soft edges, David Gilmour standing a little to the side with that white Strat. When the guitar comes in, it doesn’t try to steal the moment. It just answers. Long notes that hang in the air, patient, almost shy at first, then slowly opening up.

Jones never tries to copy Prince. He sings it the only way he knows how — full-chested, with that wide vibrato that makes every phrase feel personal. There’s a point where his voice cracks open on a high note and you can hear the years in it. Not polished perfection. Just a man putting everything he has into words that still hurt a little.

Gilmour’s solo is the part that stays with me. He doesn’t rush. He doesn’t show off. Each note feels like it’s thinking before it leaves the string. It’s not Prince’s explosion. It’s something slower, heavier, more English somehow. Like the rain has already fallen and he’s just tracing the shape of what’s left.

What gets me is how honest the whole thing feels. Two very different artists, neither one pretending to be the other, meeting in the middle of a song about wanting someone you can’t fully reach anymore. The regret is still there, but so is the beauty. They don’t clean it up. They just let it stand.

I don’t know if this is the “best” version of Purple Rain. I only know that every time I watch it, something quiet settles in my chest and stays there a little longer than expected.

Which part reaches you first — the voice that refuses to hold back, or the guitar that answers without needing words?

����‼️Biblical endurance is not pretending the storm does not hurt; it is continuing to stand when the wind has already explained exactly how serious it is. “Ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise” (Hebrews 10:36). Anybody can look spiritual while the road is smooth. Endurance is what happens when the prayers seem unanswered, the opposition keeps coming, the body gets tired, the friends thin out, and you still refuse to abandon what God said. Faith that only works in sunshine is not endurance; it is fair-weather religion.

The Bible does not teach that faithful people never get weary. It teaches them what to do when they do. “Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not” (Galatians 6:9). Notice the warning: fainting is possible. The strongest Christian you know can get tired, discouraged, disappointed, and worn down. Endurance is not the absence of weakness; it is refusing to make weakness your final address. You may sit down beside the road for a minute, but you do not sell the map, burn the shoes, and announce that the destination was overrated.

Job endured without understanding everything. Joseph endured years before the prison door opened. David endured caves before the throne. Paul endured beatings, prisons, betrayals, shipwreck, and enough religious opposition to make most modern Christians delete their account and announce a “season of rest.” Yet he could still say, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith” (2 Timothy 4:7). God is not merely interested in how loudly you start; He is interested in whether you are still carrying the truth when the novelty is gone.

And endurance keeps its eyes on Christ. Hebrews 12:2 says, ���Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.” Not looking unto circumstances, applause, statistics, critics, moods, or the latest disaster report. Christ endured the cross because He saw beyond it, and the believer endures because this present trouble is not the end of the story. Biblical endurance is faith with scar tissue, still standing, still trusting, still obeying, and still moving forward after quitting would have been easier.

This is interesting, Tom Jones and Sting.

[Jeremiah Knight @iamrjknight]

When we begin the day rushing past God, feeding our minds with noise before truth, and allowing the world to speak before Scripture does, we should not be surprised when our hearts spend the rest of the day scattered.

“In the morning, O Lord, You will hear my voice; in the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch” (Psalm 5:3).

There is nothing magical about a particular hour, and Scripture does not teach that a Christian is condemned because morning devotion was missed. But there is wisdom in giving God the first attention of the heart rather than whatever is loudest, newest, or most urgent.

Jesus Himself, “in the early morning, while it was still dark,” went away to a secluded place and prayed (Mark 1:35). David said, “O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly” (Psalm 63:1).

The danger is not merely missing a routine. It is training the soul to live as though God can be fitted in later. Later often becomes never. The phone receives our first attention, work receives our best energy, anxiety receives our thoughts, and God receives whatever remains.

“Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness” (Matthew 6:33).

A heart that neglects God at the beginning of the day will often spend the rest of it trying to recover from influences it allowed in first. We need His Word before the world interprets life for us. We need prayer before anxiety begins its sermon. We need truth before our feelings begin telling us what is real.

Do not worship the morning routine. Worship God. But learn to seek Him deliberately before the demands of the day teach your heart to live without remembering Him.

2. Homemade Chicken Nuggets

- Chicken breast, cut into chunks
- Breadcrumbs
- Seasonings of choice

~50-60g protein

Coat in egg, season, coat in breadcrumbs, then pop in air fryer. Pair with rice or veggies.

These are so bomb and can easily push 100g if you load up.

💥HIGH PROTEIN EGG SALAD

1 serving: 540 cals, 44g protein
2 servings: 270 cals, 22g protein

As always, divide this up into whatever size serving that works for you. This high protein egg salad is as easy as it gets, and so good. And, no cottage cheese today. I added some mashed peas and mixed up greek yogurt and mayo, and this combo was SO good.

If you dont want bell pepper as your base, you can always use lettuce or your favorite bread… sour dough or a warm pita would be amazing.

Here is how I made it:

1..Make your eggs. I used 5 eggs here. I drop them in boiling water for 7.5-8 mins right out of the fridge, dunk them in an ice bath for a few seconds to stop the cooking, and peel and cut them in half. Add them to a big bowl.

2.Finely dice 1/4 to 1/3 of a red onion and add it to the bowl.

https://t.co/bPmyaVafsQ up, let’s mash up 1/2 cup of peas with a fork. You can also process these in your food processor if easier.

4.For some bursts of freshness, I added 2 tbsp of herbs, you can use cilantro, parsley, or mint here, or a combination. And add 3 tbsp of capers or finely diced pickles for some brine.

5.Dress it up with 2 tbsp mayo and 5 tbsp greek yogurt. This adds some more protein and keeps the fat/calories down. And add 1 tbsp dijon mustard.

6.Season with a couple pinches of salt and pepper, and for a little flavor add 1 tsp of onion powder.

7.Mash everything up. Now, if you want it chunkier, mash a little less, but if you want it creamy and well incorporated, mash a bit more.

8.Give it a taste and adjust. You can also add spices, everything bagel, or chili crisp to top it up.

If you make it, be sure to let me know on SHREDHAPPENS

ENJOY!
