Beware that no one carries you off as spoil through his philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the elements of the world, and not according to Christ;
Colossians 2:8
Proverbs 23
"Do not let your heart envy sinners, / But live in the fear of Jehovah all day long;" - v17
"Buy truth, and do not sell it; / Buy wisdom and instruction and understanding." -v23
@peligrietzer If it's solely emotional the feeling can be very intense but they are truly fleeting. What has helped me immensely is to acknowledge that I feel this way "but for now" and that "this too shall pass".
Oh, hide this self from me, that I
No more, but Christ in me may live;
My vile affections mortify,
Nor let one darling sin survive.
In all things nothing may I see,
Nothing desire or seek but Thee.
- Hymn #423 (G.Tersteegen)
@realMarz1995 unable to DM you but wanted to say I enjoyed your "schizophrenic" monologue! God bless

Whom having not seen, you love; into whom though not seeing Him at present, yet believing, you exult with joy that is unspeakable and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls." (1 Peter 1:8-9)
@LSGrubbs@PlumblineFaith Love you sister! Sorry that's the impression you've been imbued with. Have lots of sweet conversations with God, open to Him and may He reveal what is on His heart concering His NT ministry and His church. May Christ be our only center and unique goal ❤️
Ephesians 5:1-2
"Be therefore imitators of God, as beloved children; And walk in love, even as Christ also loved us and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling savor."
When we punish a moral failing, we’re broadcasting the fact that we, ourselves, are moral. It’s a way to gain the trust of others, which can help us down the line"

Before getting sucked into arguments on this platform and fall for the outrage, I gotta remind myself that:
“It seems like our brains are wired to enjoy punishing others"
"The internet has a way of taking our evolution-derived instincts and kicking them into hyperdrive. Twitter is like a Skinner box (think rats pushing a lever for a reward) for the joys of public shaming. We can keep pressing the lever without any real fear of retaliation"
