And once you get the girl and marry her and have kids, you still play out this scenario in your mind on a regular basis.

[JD Evers @EversForgeworks]

Young Christian men out there, do not be black pilled, you can have that journey, you can get the girl, and it all starts by tossing the PWC aside. Notice, and lift your brethren up and rally! Go grab Stephanie.

Solomon went hard when he wrote this right here.

And this is only the first chapter.

Ecclesiastes 1:18

[J. Colin Trisler @jctrisler]

Clarification: I'm not saying we will become angels. Upon our resurrection, we will still be human beings. But we will be immortal *like* the angels.

[J. Colin Trisler @jctrisler]

Regarding the Day of the Lord, Jesus & Paul are both describing the same event.

The day of the Lord's return & our being gathered together with Him is framed as one singular event that Jesus said will happen "Immediately *after* the tribulation of those days..." (Matt. 24:29).

[J. Colin Trisler @jctrisler]

As sons of the resurrection, we will be given immortal bodies like those of the angels. Thus we will inherit the Kingdom of God as children of God and joint-heirs with Christ (Romans 8:16-17).

This is what Jesus was talking about in Luke 20:34-36 when He said:

[Jacob Brunton⚔️🗽 @JacobTBrunton]

"Love is reverence, and worship, and glory, and the upward glance.

Not a bandage for dirty sores. But they don't know it.

Those who speak of love most promiscuously are the ones who've never felt it.

They make some sort of feeble stew out of sympathy, compassion, contempt and general indifference, and they call it love.

Once you've felt what it means to love as you and I know it—the total passion for the total height—you're incapable of anything less."

Everything we say about Pro-Lifers is true.

[J. Colin Trisler @jctrisler]

Man does not live by bread alone.

He instead lives by everything that proceeds from the mouth of God (Deut 8:3).

Enjoyment of God's gifts apart from obedience to the word of God is not life.

It's self-destructive vanity.

This is the message of Ecclesiastes.

From @jctrisler:

This is what I love most about Christopher Reeve's portrayal of Superman:

His absolute and total loyalty to his rational, moral convictions.

Reeve's Superman didn't suffer from some wishy-washy uncertainty about what's right or wrong.

He knew the difference between good and evil. He knew what he stood for -- all those homegrown moral principles he learned on the family farm from his earthly parents, Jonathan & Martha Kent.

He stood firm in those convictions as an adult and was willing to fight for them, even if other people thought they were corny or outdated.

"What sets Superman apart," Reeve said, "is that he has the wisdom to use his power for good. He has all these powers, but he's got the kind of maturity -- or the innocence, really -- to look at the world very, very simply. And that's what makes him different. When he says, 'I'm here to fight for Truth, Justice, and the American Way,' everyone goes: snicker, cough, ahem. But he's not kidding."

And that's what makes him a hero. That's what makes him a super man.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

Jesus healed a man who had been sick for 38 years.

Then He told him: "Behold, you have become well; do not sin anymore, so that nothing worse happens to you" (John 5:14).

People can experience worse things than even the most extreme of physical infirmities.

Much worse things.

“Whenever I'm asked why Southern writers particularly have a penchant for writing about freaks, I say it is because we are still able to recognize one.”

This is Yahweh telling other so-called gods, "Come say that to My face & see what happens."

"I am the first & I am the last,
And there is no God besides Me.
Who is like Me? Let him call out
& declare it;
And let him tell it to Me in order"

Isaiah 44:6

[J.R.R. Tolkien @JRRTolkien]

From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.

The kind of woman who would make an excellent wife is hard to find.

Appearance alone doesn't make her unique. Many women sparkle w/good looks.

The beauty of her character makes her exceptional.

Such a balance of body & soul is rare. And that rarity is what makes her valuable.

[J. Colin Trisler @jctrisler]

God's word stands the test of time because God has woven His truth -- THE truth -- into the fabric of our reality.

A man will enjoy fellowship with God only when he learns to live in harmony with the fundamental truth of reality and not in opposition to it.
