@cancelwok3 Your story made me tear up. I was like that woman too. I lament the fact that people go to Mass in casual and not-so-decent clothing. But only God knows what's in their heart. I am in no position to judge. I can wear reverent clothing, but I'm just as much a sinner as everyone.
@micailagraham@Trent_Horn So true! That's why even the simplest person (like my grandma who didn't even reach high school), who knew nothing about theology, can live their faith in Jesus Christ.
@bryantgillespie@nuxt_js@directus@tailwindcss It’s a support ticketing system dashboard for transaction monitoring. It listens to GCP PubSub for completed transaction, admin can monitor for suspicious transactions, manually run the flow to flag them and create a ticket about it. Kanban board built-in!
As for me, I found that reason itself tells me that there is something more than this physical and material universe. Reality itself tells me that it cannot be all there is. Thus, I continue in faith no matter how much God feels so hidden. EOT
I’ve always wondered what I would think and react when I need God the most and yet I’m met with utter silence. Would I apostatize, condemn Christianity and all religions as crap, as fairy tales meant to provide psychological comfort for the weak who can’t face reality? 🧵
@jcdrex@Nickolas_Boker@JohnWFarrell Tell God not to wait. I spent my life seeking him out and all he did is hide. For once in my life I need a father who comes looking for me when I'm lost. He won't pick up the phone when I call.
Ball is in his court.
… without being unreasonable. It is to expand our thoughts beyond what our senses perceive and to entertain the possibility that maybe, at the edge of our understanding, the transcendent has reached out its hand to us to lift us up beyond what our feeble mind could grasp. 🧵
@philokalia_min These quotes are a reminder of how far we are from the saints. There is a danger of legalism and scrupulosity, but the there is an even greater danger of worldliness and selfishness. I can’t possibly comply with this, but I can start with small steps. By God’s grace.
@BeemTeresa@saneves@adventistchurch I love that now that they know I’m no longer Adventist, they can drink some wine with me during get togethers and sing secular songs at karaoke without reservations.
@BeemTeresa As former SDA I can attest to that. But would they really die for the truth? They can’t even face the consequences of admitting that they were in error. It’s not their beliefs that make them Adventist, it’s layers upon layers of Cognitive Dissonance.
