@jovial_cynic If I’m not mistaken, it was the movie the exorcist (and people who saw the exorcist and needed another thing for people to be afraid of) that established the ouija board as a gateway to the demonic
@LauraRbnsn He seems to be close to being on to something, but then he just slips right into use AI for creation. I can see the appeal of using AI to create concept art based on a prompt so that I can draw inspiration for original works, but if I let AI do the work, I’m being less creative.
Our interpretations of Scripture must be grounded in reality; application of Scripture only occurs in lived experiences.
Caring for someone's soul is of no value if we don't feed their immediate hunger. They cannot hear our gospel over the grumbling of their stomachs.
@CaptainLionHart@drhpa33@philvischer How about “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you?” And while I can’t speak for brother jack himself, I can say for my own self that in the context that Phil is speaking at the very least, my answer to your question is an absolute yes.
Good morning, beloved.
To overcome the hardened heart, we must understand the course of its hardening.
Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.
We grew up poor. I don't know how we would've managed without government assistance.
My parents both worked hard but struggled to make ends meet without help.

Don't let your hearts be hardened.💛
Saddened at the devastation caused by hurricane Melissa.

Christians should want their government to use tax money for social welfare programs that feed the hungry and needy. You can’t simultaneously speak about wanting your government to be Christian while also advocating for the government to not partake in charitable programs.
You can't make ill children better by pressuring them into school when ill.
You can't make ill staff better by pressuring them into work when ill.

40% of SNAP recipients are kids, 18% are elderly, 11% are disabled and of the rest, ~70% already have jobs. So unless your company’s hiring Junior Juice Box Interns, grandma and her walker, or knows how to fit more hours in a day, maybe cool it with the “just get a job” takes.
Good morning, beloved.
Never use your thoughts & prayers as substitutes for your commitment & action.
Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.
