Remember God in Everything

@I_amMukhtar A lot of "cast the first stone" comments! How many were saying Russell Brand wasn't a Christian before his conviction? No. No guts to call him out then. I've been a Christian 30 years and still struggle to find bible verses. This is exactly what I expect from a new Christian

[Simon @rememberGodNet]

@JMJBLU8525 @I_amMukhtar I agree.

@shaunmmaguire I see a lot of Americans complaining about the education system but not doing the one thing that would change the trajectory of the children's future, that is, don't participate in it.

@KobeissiLetter This came from CNN and the fact that whatever Trump tells us, we can be reasonably sure that this is not what's happening. The info. war is the real war.

@MRobertsQLD Good work Mr Roberts. If there's no accountability, it will surely happen again. In fact even with accountability it will probably happen again about accountability is such a crucial part of keeping us humans from veering too far onto the evil side

@BenjscottScott2 @TRobinsonNewEra @PaulineHansonOz What are the facts that you allude to?

[Simon @rememberGodNet]

@urtheologyisbad @howertonjosh Why don't you enlighten us so we're not ignorant about Pride. There's nothing proud about shaking your fist at God and saying, 'hey God, I don't like the way you made me'. That's the epitome of ignorance.

Hi, my user has just been paused due to advertising content.
This is a campaign promoting a Christian bathrobe for Mother's Day .

One of these ads was previously halted, then reversed and given the go-ahead to run. But now it has been halted again?

I've had a read through the policy and can't see any reasons for these ads breaching policy.

Could you please explain, and how to rectify the issue.

Thanks

Is this statement true?:

'Religion is a set of boundaries and expectations that God has, to be in relationship with Him'. 

I would say Christianity is never, ever a 'set of boundaries'.

Because if it was, both you and I, as we continuously break those boundaries, would NOT be in relationship with God (according to the above statement).

This is contrary to the foundational gospel message if I understand it correctly and Paul points this out repeatedly in his letters.

@greglaurie @jordanbpeterson I love Jordan. I will pray.

I disagree with a lot of the comments here. Why didn't the man take her up on her offer when she said "I want to know the one true God and teach me"? I think he could have calmed down and perhaps sown some good seeds about Jesus. Confrontation is not always the best solution. I guess my question is do we love the Muslims enough to do whatever we can to bring them into the kingdom?

@honeymoon250 Go into your bedroom, shut the door and cry out to God. He is the ultimate counsellor

@EmilySm43 It's not the church you've walked into

@Janelles84 @DonaldJTrumpJr I'm not from the US but it looks to me like you have the most transparent and accountable president in a long time, albeit a bit rough round the edges

[Simon @rememberGodNet]

@WWHeisenberg66 @liz_churchill10 A thousand people bucking in the long-term trend. Maybe the trend is turning?

There were two bad criminals at Golgotha hill, either side of Jesus as He was crucified.

The simplicity of the Christian message can be seen in that situation.

It is inferred that these criminals committed serious crimes worthy of crucifixion.
Because of a conversation that took place between one of the criminals and Jesus, Jesus concluded by saying:
‘today you will be with me in paradise’.

This criminal had lived a bad life and probably never thought much about God. He never did much good at all, in all probability.
So, when he gets to heaven, they say to him:
‘Hey, aren’t you that bad, criminal guy. What are you doing here?’

And the criminal answers:
‘That guy on the middle cross said I could come’.

That’s it!
That's the gospel message right there.

If you ask Him if you can come, He will let you, irrespective of your past.

There is no sin God doesn’t forgive.

Sometimes we forget Jesus spent a lot of time hanging out with bad people, - prostitutes, swindlers, and other unsavoury characters.

But that’s WHY he came.
To save them.. and me.. and you!

If you are already a good person, you don’t need Jesus.
Jesus said: 'it is the sick who need a doctor'.

I do Uber driving.
Yesterday I arrived at a pickup to find two men on opposite sides of the street having a vicious argument.

One of them was moving towards my car with a suitcase and bag and I realized he was my pickup.
The two men were gay and had just broken up their relationship.

The scene tuned a bit dangerous as the other man, who appeared to be particularly out of control, jumped in his car and chased us.
On two separate occassions, he narrowly avoided having an accident.
After repeated calls to the man in the other car informing him that the police were being called, he finally abandoned the chase.

My conversation with the man that got in my car uncovered that violence had been an ongoing issue and had previously involved the police and a DVA issuing.

I got chatting with him and began sharing about the Lord with him.
He didn't know much about God but was quite open and I told him that if he genuinely sought the Lord and asked him to show him the reality of who he was, that God would answer his prayer.

I get to share about the Lord with quite a few people in this work, but I do not do it enough. I often don't initiate a conversation because of fear or lack of confidence.
Paul says in I Corinthians, 'woe to me if I do not preach the gospel', and that's what I feel if I know I've let an opportunity slip.

One way to help give the gospel message is to have two or three well rehearsed and well thought out starter questions.
You really do need to write these out and practice them so they become second nature. Knowing precisely how to start these conversations is a great confidence boost when the time arises.

That's not to minimize the idea that the Holy Spirit can give you unique things to say in many situations.

And on that note, I do ask the Holy Spirit "what should I say".

I once asked the Holy Spirit and he told me 'ask the person if they have a motorbike'.
If I remember the conversation correctly, it lead to the fact that he had an accident on a motorbike and had an injury, and I ended up praying for healing.

When we get to the end of our lives, there will be a few things we regret. I know that not sharing the gospel with enough people when opportunities arose, will be top of my list.
Here's a challenge for you. Commit to finding one person in the next 48 hours that you can share the wonderful news of Jesus with.
Let me know here you go. I’d love to hear what happened.

I disagree with your take on this. On all the metrics, emotions removed, one would have to surmise that Trump will go down as one of the greatest presidents in US history. He's not being sucked in by any country. Iran hates Americans guts, and for years have attacked Americans. So in a country that has declared it wants to kill your citizens and has nuclear armament capacity in its wings, you suggest sit on the sidelines and watch?

These guys epitomize depravity and wickedness of the darkest kind.
Islam is unashamedly evil.

Any nation that knowingly lets people into their country, with this worldview, is culpable.

They need to urgently round them up and deport them.

Today I decided to download the Ayatollah Khomenei's manual of Islamic law, the Tahrir al-Wasilah.

Page 229, Volume 3: ''Intercourse with a woman is not allowed unless she attains the age of nine years, regardless whether the marriage is permanent or temporary. There is, however, no objection in other sexual enjoyments like touching lasciviously, hugging and rubbing the thighs, even with a suckling infant.''
