The Spirit’s main work is not spectacular signs—its transformation. “If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.” Galatians 5:22 ESV
Constitutional crisis? Are you kidding me? Lest we not forget: weaponization of the DOJ, vaccine mandates, wasted tax payer dollars, funding the very countries that are known enemies, student loan forgiveness, and outright censorship. Idk what simulation you’re living in. Yikes.
We’ve had a cinematic drought for too long. Will the trend of below average formulaic superhero movies & remakes end, and the next great wave of actual story driven originality that separates itself from agendas, diversity scorecards and feminization of the leading man?
@catadlord@BradenDisguised That is awful and disgustingly evil, I’m sorry that happened to you. But no, there are a lot of false converts claiming Christ as Lord. There’s a big difference between profession of faith and possession of faith.
@1mikemackley@BradenDisguised Moroni 10:32 Makes it clear that grace isn’t sufficient until you’ve denied yourself of ALL ungodliness. Again putting the saving work not in Christ alone, but in good works and personal holiness.
@1mikemackley@BradenDisguised Someone truly born again isn’t going to look the same anymore, their very nature will change (2 Cor. 5:17) and will live in obedience out of love. However, God’s standard isn’t ‘do your best’, it’s perfection. That’s why we NEED Jesus’ righteousness imputed to us.
At the end of the day, archeological evidence, rock solid apologetics, or eloquent debate performances isn’t a foundational platform to root faith in. But Christ alone.
“so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.”
1 Corinthians 2:5 ESV
We must realize that the Reformation world view leads in the direction of government freedom. But the humanist world view with inevitable certainty leads in the direction of statism.
The consequence of relativism is that in the end we all have our own reality. Objective truth means there is one reality. Truth for me and truth for you are bound to that reality. If we each have our own truth and reality, then communication becomes impossible.

“The words of the Lord are pure words, like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times.”
Psalm 12:6
“He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.”
Jeremiah 17:7-8
Our natural tendency is to rely on self first, and only turn to our Creator when we “need” Him. This inevitably leads to resentment framing God as not “being there” during a trial. Drawing near to Him with every breath forms a relationship of total dependence.
Have you ever heard someone respond to “would you like your baked potato loaded?” with a stone cold “no”. I’m not saying they might be crazy but I’m not asking them for any menu recommendations.
@vyrotek@googlefiber What are your cross streets? There have been crews running new lines in our neighborhood but not sure if it’s a Cox upgrade or what…
