@TheresaArueyin1 Absolutely. Salvation is personal but not private. The description of the Church includes body, house, family. Hebrews says do not forsake the gathering with each other. Peter says we are built up together,etc

@Demeter_Erinia Yes mam. And not ashamed of it either. I take care of my things, including my clothes and not pressured to keep up with anyone.

[EleLynch @LynchEle]

@stann360 Great initiative. But I guess this generation doesn’t like porridge which would add nutritional balance with more fiber and calcium. Congratulations

Pray with me
September 14, 2026

Father,

Quiet my soul before You.

The world is loud, my thoughts are restless, and my heart so easily becomes crowded with things I cannot control. But You are God, and I do not have to carry what belongs in Your hands.

Teach me “be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10).

Like David, let me be able to say, “I have calmed and quieted my soul” (Psalm 131:2). Silence the fear that keeps rehearsing tomorrow. Settle the anxiety that keeps replaying yesterday. Turn down every voice that competes with Yours.

Jesus, You said, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). So I come. I bring You the burdens, the questions, the unfinished business, the disappointments, and the things I cannot fix.

I surrender them to You.

Guard my heart and mind with Your peace, the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:6-7).

When my mind begins to race, remind me that You are already there. When fear starts speaking, remind me that You are faithful. When I feel the need to control everything, remind me that You are sovereign.

When the noise of life becomes overwhelming, draw me back to the quiet confidence of Your presence.

You are my Shepherd. I shall not want. Lead me beside still waters. Restore my soul (Psalm 23:1-3).

My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my hope is from Him (Psalm 62:5).

I trust You with this day. I trust You with what I know. I trust You with what I don’t know. I trust You with what comes next.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

@DumasWrites Yes we are real. We are not selfish, want to contribute to a clean environment and have civic pride. If all of those who don’t take their garbage with them would stop, think about the difference this would make. Real people take it home!!!

[EleLynch @LynchEle]

@LyndaniM You’re right that it’s about a relationship with the one true and living God. But he also calls us to relationship with fellow believers, all imperfect but who are part of the BODY of Christ. Which body you know that is whole when one part is missing? We have gifts to share.

911 - HE WAS THE JANITOR🔑

And on September 11, 2001 the key in his pocket suddenly became one of the most important keys in America.

His name was William Rodriguez.

He had worked at the World Trade Center for roughly 20 years.

That morning, Rodriguez was in the basement of the North Tower when American Airlines Flight 11 struck the building.

Chaos erupted.

A badly burned man appeared.

Rodriguez helped him.

Then he could have gotten out.

He went back … Because Rodriguez had something almost nobody else in that building had:

A MASTER KEY 🔑

It opened the stairwell doors throughout the North Tower.

Firefighters and police were rushing into a building thousands of terrified people were trying to escape.

Rodriguez knew the building.

And he had the key.

So he went UP with the rescuers.

Floor after floor.

Door after door.

Unlock. Open. Keep moving.

People were coming down.

Rodriguez kept going up.

He reportedly made it as high as the 39th floor before firefighters ordered him to turn around.

Think about that.

The building had been struck by a passenger jet.

Smoke was spreading.

People were desperately trying to get OUT.

And the janitor was climbing farther INSIDE.

Rodriguez eventually made it back down and survived.

But approximately 200 people he knew at the World Trade Center did not.

25 years later he still carries the memories of that morning.

And he still has the master key.

We remember the firefighters.

We remember the police officers.

We remember the passengers who fought back.

🔥We should also remember the janitor with the key.

William Rodriguez wasn’t carrying a badge.

He wasn’t carrying a weapon.

He was carrying something much simpler.

A key.

And when America was attacked, he used what he had to help save whoever he could.

Never forget William Rodriguez.

@DamienWKing @ksamcorp @NWA_JA When you find out pls share. The lack of oversight of these workers is right across the country. Back to square one when the work not properly done.

[Father Jim Sichko @JimSichko]

Perhaps we can make this photo go viral again. This is Officer Chris Amoroso of the NYNJ Port Authority Police. This photo is from September 11, 2001, with the towers behind him. After saving this pregnant woman Chris decided to go back in for his 5th time. Despite having a wife and baby at home, despite being only 29 years old, Chris and 59 other Police Officers and 343 Firefighters never made it back out. You can curse us out, spit, defund and disrespect us, but when you call we will be there. Thats what makes us different. Im not looking for responses especially political ones. Just remember Chris and share his story. No sports number on his chest, no large contract no anthem to kneel to, just a real hero. #NeverForget

[The Biblical Man @Biblicalman]

Satan is not opposed to good morals.

He’s opposed to Jesus Christ.

Read that again because most Christians miss this completely.

Satan doesn’t care if you’re a “good person.” He doesn’t care if you volunteer at the food bank, recycle your trash, and help old ladies cross the street. He doesn’t care if you’re kind, generous, and well-liked by everyone in your community.

He cares that you don’t bow the knee to Jesus.

Here’s the deception that’s damning millions:

Satan has convinced people that morality equals spirituality. That being a “good person” is the same as being a Christian. That if you just live right, treat people well, and avoid the “big sins,” you’re acceptable to God.

This is a lie straight from the pit of hell.

The Pharisees had impeccable morals. They followed the law meticulously. They were respected, disciplined, and religiously devoted.

Jesus called them children of the devil.
Why? Not because their morals were bad. Because their morals replaced Christ.
Satan’s greatest trick isn’t making bad people worse. It’s making good people think they don’t need a Savior.

Think about it:

The atheist who feeds the homeless thinks he’s good enough without God.

The Buddhist who meditates and practices compassion thinks she’s enlightened without Christ.

The Muslim who prays five times daily thinks he’s righteous without Jesus.

The moral Christian who goes to church, pays his tithe, and avoids scandal thinks he’s saved without surrender.

All of them are headed to the same place: eternal separation from God.

Because morality doesn’t save. Jesus saves.
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9

Satan loves moral people who reject Jesus. They’re his best advertisement for the lie that you can earn your way to heaven.

They’re living proof that you can:

•Be kind without Christ
•Be generous without God
•Be disciplined without the Holy Spirit
•Be respected without redemption

And still be lost.

The most dangerous people in hell won’t be the murderers and rapists. They’ll be the moral, upstanding citizens who thought their goodness was good enough.

Their morals became their idol. Their goodness became their god.

And Satan smiled because he’d accomplished his goal: Keep them from Jesus.

Here’s what most Christians don’t understand:

Satan doesn’t need to make you do bad things. He just needs to keep you from doing the ONE thing that matters: surrendering to Christ.

If he can get you to:

•Trust your morals instead of Christ’s sacrifice

•Rely on your goodness instead of God’s grace

•Believe in your works instead of Jesus’ finished work

He’s won.

You can live a moral life and still die lost. You can be a good person and still face judgment. You can avoid all the “big sins” and still end up separated from God forever.
Because the only sin that damns you eternally is rejecting Jesus Christ.

“He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” John 3:36

Not the murderer who repents and believes in Christ is damned.

Not the thief who turns to Jesus on the cross is damned.

Not the prostitute who washes Jesus’ feet with her tears is damned.

The moral, religious person who rejects Christ is damned.

That’s why Satan loves morality without Jesus. It sends people to hell with a smile on their face, convinced they were good enough.

Stop trusting your morals. Start trusting Jesus.

Your goodness won’t save you. Your works won’t redeem you. Your morality won’t justify you.

Only the blood of Jesus Christ can wash away your sin and make you acceptable to a holy God.

Everything else is just Satan’s distraction from the one thing that actually matters.

Today is being observed as Miss Lou Day in Jamaica to honour the life and legacy of the Honourable Louise Bennett-Coverley, OM, OJ, MBE. The Jamaican poet, folklorist, actress, writer, and educator was born in Kingston on September 7, 1919. What's your favourite Miss Lou poem?

[FeelGoodThoughts @feelgoodtale]

For the last 9-months, my wife, Brooklyn has been pregnant with a very sick baby boy. Three or four months ago, we learned that the baby had severe hydrocephalus. Back in the old days, hydrocephalus was called, 'water on the brain' - too much brain fluid. Ultimately, we were referred to Cincinnati Children's Hospital, where we were told by several of the most highly regarded fetal specialists in the country that his condition was dire. The baby's condition was 'off the charts bad'. It was so extreme that the specialists stopped measuring and monitoring his fluid level because, at that point, it didn't really matter. The MRI's were sickening to look at.

We were told, pointblank, that there was over a 90% chance that the baby would either die shortly after birth or have such severe cognitive impairments that any quality of life would be hard to imagine. We had a meeting with palliative care regarding the use of life sustaining measures and had detailed, awful, and emotional discussions about the ethics of when we might need to remove or cease such measures - which would result in the baby 'passing away peacefully'.

Brooklyn relocated to Cincinnati and lived in a hotel close to the hospital - in case she went into labor. I commuted back and forth. On July 8th, Brooklyn did indeed go into labor. Literally, 15 minutes before they wheeled her back to start the C-section, we had another meeting with doctors regarding the use of a breathing tube and at what point we might need to remove that tube and let the baby go to Heaven. Guess what? The baby came out crying - which was the sweetest sound I ever heard.

In a nutshell, Charlie Schnarr stayed in infant intensive care until yesterday - when we all came home. He seems to be a normal, beautiful baby doing all the things that babies do. He has mild ventricular enlargement, but we can deal with that with checkups.

How did this happen?!

The doctors said, 'We do not have and cannot come up with a medical explanation for what we've witnessed here'. Somehow his brain found a way to naturally clear the blockage or re-route the fluid that was causing the oppressive back up of brain fluid. During the last week, I heard the words, 'divine intervention' and 'miracle' more times than I could count. Nurses with decades of experience and esteemed, nationally admired doctors were flabbergasted but jubilant. Because of the domino effect of friends, family, clients, colleagues and even strangers praying and asking others to pray for us, I do not doubt that there were thousands of people praying for us.

I'm a practical person that certainly believes in science and medical technology, but I absolutely know, from the bottom of my heart, that God was involved in this. I give ALL of the credit and glory to Him. Prayer is positively powerful. God is real, and He still performs miracles."

Lord,
I worry because I forget your wisdom.
I resent because I forget your mercy.
I covet because I forget your beauty.
I sin because I forget your holiness.
I fear because I forget your sovereignty.
You always remember me. Help me to remember you.
Amen...
