@lsanger I agree with your submission in its entirety. This is the truth, divine truth. The Son is eternally begotten, co-equal and co-eternal with the Father.

[Owolabi Olatunji @olatunjee]

@RevivedThoughts I thank God for Christian missions. We are imperfect no matter how spiritually useful we can be. Humility and eagerness to learn will always be a virtue.

[Owolabi Olatunji @olatunjee]

Lovely submission.

Why did Max Weber label it the “Protestant” work ethic?

"Because the dignity of work was a distinctive theme of the Protestant Reformation. During the Middle Ages, the term vocation had been restricted to religious callings like priest, monk, and nun. (The Latin root of vocation is vocare, which means to call.)

But the Reformers, starting with Luther and Calvin, argued that all forms of work can be a vocation from God. Even so-called secular work can be a holy calling, a way to serve God and benefit humanity.

A Puritan preacher wrote that the Christian tradesman, “if he be buying or selling,” will know that “his shop as well as his chapel is holy ground.”

The author of the classic book Pilgrim’s Progress, John Bunyan, wrote that he was aware of God’s presence when he was working in “the milk-house, the stable, the barn, and the like.”

A seventeenth-century Anglican clergyman named Jeremy Taylor wrote that God himself works through our work: “God provides the good things of the world. . . by the labours of the ploughman, the skill and pains of the artisan, and the dangers and traffic of the merchant: these men are, in their callings, the ministers of the Divine Providence.”

The pioneer of political economy Adam Smith said that in our work, we glorify God by participating in his Providence. “By acting according to the dictates of our moral faculties,” Smith argued, we may be said “to co-operate with the Deity, and to advance as far as in our power the plan of Providence.”

Economic historian R. H. Tawney explains that in a society where a Christian worldview holds sway, “economics is still a branch of ethics, and ethics of theology.” As a result, “the legitimacy of economic transactions is tried by reference, less to the movements of the market, than to the moral standards derived from the traditional teachings of the Christian Church.”

In short, it was taken for granted that economic policies should be guided by biblical moral principles. Christians are called to perform their work “for the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31). “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters” (Colossians 3:23)."

His crucifixion is our coronation.

[Thomas Watson @ThosWatson]

Christ's blood is not only called sacrifice, whereby God is appeased, but a propitiation, whereby God becomes gracious and friendly to us.

Very impressive

Only one chance in this lifetime…

Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.

I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

"On Easter Sunday, the stone was rolled away and the grave was empty... It was a miracle in all of history — the resurrection of Jesus Christ," says @POTUS.

"With Christ, not one thing can separate humanity from the power of God's everlasting love." 🙏🏻

@realJosiahBurke @EnochBurke The land that gave us the Puritans and faithful Missionaries is now the den of robbery and oppression.

"How did the faithful city become the city of harlots? Judgement lodged in it; but now robbers."

@lekan_olayinka1 Don't relent as long as you focus on the issues. More grace to you.

@Ol0ye The compromised leaders especially in the south are the greatest threats to Christianity in this country.

[Owolabi Olatunji @olatunjee]

It is more than obvious the objectives of the Islamist overlords in the north who have unleashed terror on the innocents and the weakest.

Like the Edomites of old, they shall not succeed, for they are "the people against whom the Lord hath indignation for ever."

[Eyal Yakoby @EYakoby]

BREAKING: A massacre has taken place in Nigeria against Christians by Islamists on Palm Sunday.

Bodies line the streets of their village.

Where is the outrage?

[Owolabi Olatunji @olatunjee]

@MikeArnoldTruth The bias is damnable. The objective is not to address any slavey issue but to take a jab at a certain set of people. They never cared ending human salvey.

[Owolabi Olatunji @olatunjee]

@TanneriteCortez 💯 It is dangerous to give tacit approval for the hoe-phase many young men and young ladies are into, because Christ redeems. Sin has great consequences and the earlier a man/woman bear the yoke of Christ the better. Better late than never, but best to be earlier.

[Owolabi Olatunji @olatunjee]

@JesseHughes Fully agree with this summary. The lack of sound judgement on this is terrifying. It's as if they want to numb us into glorifying depraved behaviours. We thank God for redeeming love. But we need to call out sin and be ashamed of evil past lives.

[Owolabi Olatunji @olatunjee]

Well said. Don't know why this is difficult to grasp.

[David Freeman @DavdJustnFreemn]

@RyanHurst171 If the church eliminates any social distinction between those who live in sin and those who don't, people will have less motivation to avoid sin.

@RyanHurst171 My hard counter to their logic is to ask them if they think someone who abused children and repented is the same

@BenZeisloft Rightly said. The tone of his post was even demeaning and seems to re-enforce that after all, you'll be fine; be wretched as you may now. When the Bible says "It is good for a man/woman to bear the yoke in his/her youth". God redeems, glory be to His name. It's very sad.
