False zeal is against the sins of others; while he that has true zeal, exercises it chiefly against his own sins.

—Jonathan Edwards, Religious Affections (III.X)

To the Christian struggling with sin:

God is NOT in love with some future version of you.

The version of you who finally gets your act together.

The version who finally conquers that sin.

The version who finally becomes disciplined enough, holy enough, consistent enough.

God loves His children now.

Your sin is not insignificant. Fight it. Repent of it. Put it to death.

But when you fall, don’t run from God as though your failure surprised Him.

Run to Him.

Your justification doesn’t rise and fall with your performance.

Christ’s righteousness is your righteousness.

You don’t obey so that God will love you.

You obey because, in Christ, He already does.

In 2015, ISIS beheaded 20 Christian men who refused to deny Christ.

There was 1 man Matthew Ayariga, a migrant worker from Ghana who was not a Christian caught up in the mess, ISIS told him he could be spared and go free by just denying Christ, but after seeing these men of faith stand strong he boldy replied “Their God is my God”

@MakiTheSalafi God was wounded so we could be healed.
God was Stripped so we could be clothed with righteousness.
God was hung in shame so we could attain glory.

That’s exactly why this is so beautiful to me. Apostle paul said it best…

1 Corinthians 1:18–25 (NIV)

18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

19 For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”

20 Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.

22 Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom,

23 but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,

24 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.

Now here’s the hammer:

“For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom,
and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.”

This is the paradox people still stumble over. The Jews wanted a Messiah of military power, the Greeks wanted a Messiah of philosophical brilliance, the Romans saw crucifixion as the lowest, most shameful end imaginable.

A crucified God??? Scandalous, weak, FOOLISH!!! Exactly.

That’s why no human being would ever invent this story. No culture, no religion, no philosopher, no empire would ever imagine a God who wins by losing, conquers by suffering, and overthrows death by dying.

The very thing they mock is the very thing that proves it’s real. God chose the one method that makes all human categories collapse, so that our power looks fragile, and our wisdom looks small.

That’s the power of the Gospel:
The Cross looks like defeat to those perishing, but it is the power of God to those who see. I wish you the best. 🙏🏾

A disabled man sharing gospel tracts in India.

"Gospel tracts are suited for those who have little strength or ability, yet still long to do something for Christ. They may not have the voice of the preacher but they have the hand of the faithful. They cannot stand and proclaim the Word, but they can scatter these silent messengers that speak long after they’re gone." - Charles Spurgeon

[Josh Barzon @JoshuaBarzon]

The entire Book of Revelation is a giant chiasm. 🤯

A chiasm is a literary device where ideas unfold in order (A B C) and then repeat in reverse (C B A), forming an X shaped symmetry that aids memory and draws attention to the central point (C).

The Bible is amazing.

🧵Finding Jesus in the Old Testament

Many people think the Old Testament is confusing or boring.

Jesus disagreed.

He said the Scriptures spoke about Him. Once you learn how to read it, the entire story changes. Here’s how the Bible teaches us to see Christ in the OT…

6 In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. – 1 Peter 1:6-7

From his conversion around A.D. 35 to his final imprisonment in Rome, Paul’s ministry shaped the early church through his missionary journeys and the inspired epistles he authored that still strengthen believers today.
