Well said by Konate, and I hope he's healing now: https://t.co/TNF3hvbZjI
I still think Jota's death has been underappreciated in Liverpool's demise. Another reason Slot can feel hard done by.

I really enjoyed interviewing @aaron_p_edwards about Christian courage and free speech: https://t.co/njqil20H6R

@seraphim199 Good afternoon, with apologies for inviting you on Twitter, I'm hosting a new podcast and was wondering if you would be interested in being a guest? Here are the first episodes - hope to hear from you! https://t.co/3O6D48qaZ8

[Donnie Discerned @DonnieDarkened]

When I was an unbeliever I couldn’t believe in a God that would allow so much evil and suffering in this world.

I now understand that God did not cause evil, suffering and death…

In Genesis 1 we read that when God made each creation,

He saw that it was good.

In Genesis 3 we read that human beings rebelled against God and when humanity chose to separate ourselves from God,

He partially honored our request and stepped back from us.

It is because of this separation from Our Creator that evil, suffering, and death came into this world.

The world is evil not because God created it that way, but because God has limited His union with us by creating us free.

It is because of the evil and wickedness in our own hearts that has caused this world to fall, not because of Our Creator.

Even the very hands that God gifted us with can be used for good or evil, it is our choice.

With freedom comes responsibility.

And because we are responsible for our actions we must be held accountable for our sin, for it is sin that has caused the fallen state of this world.

This is why sin is so serious to God.

Anyone telling you that you do not have to worry about sin is either deceiving you or is deceived themselves.

If God is good, God is also just.

A just God would not let free, responsible human beings get away with sin.

On the Day of Judgement, we all stand before the Lord covered in sin.

It is only because of the Love of God that He gave us a way to be covered in His Righteousness.

To be justified from the penalties of sin through God becoming flesh,

living a sinless, selfless, and righteous life only to suffer and die at the hands of free, responsible human beings.

And it is by grace through faith in that sacrifice can the fallen, natural man undo the separation from God in their own lives by the power of the Holy Spirit.

No matter what anyone says to you, we do not get a second chance at life.

Take this seriously.

God is separating the wheat from the chaffe and the sheep from the goats.

“for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”

Matthew 7:13-14

If you are an unbeliever reading this, know that I am praying that hear and understand these words.

In the end, that which is worldly, political, or ideological does not truly matter.

What matters is where you and your loved ones will spend your eternities.

“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:”

Matthew 6:19-20

I have no ill-will towards anyone who chooses not to believe, for that is ultimately their free will decision to make.

I do implore you to not only read the Bible, but to study and understand it.

I used to believe it to be archaic or difficult to get into.

I now see the scriptures as the ultimate source of spiritual wisdom, and have completely changed who I am to the benefit of those around me in my life.

I am a better husband, father, and man because of the Wisdom of the scriptures and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit in my life.

So please consider what I am saying, my unbelieving friends.

God bless you all.

It threatens the ego to be wrong.

We hold onto false beliefs, because we take pride in them.

Pride blinds us to truth and robs us of discernment.

[Matt Stephens @MattSStephens]

Is it possible for people to spread the gospel without scripture?

I see a few Christians on here who talk about “God”, but they hardly ever use scripture.

Seems like a red flag to me.

Makes it very easy to make God in their own image and mislead others.

[Matt Stephens @MattSStephens]

There’s a distinct difference between believing in God and worshipping God.

One who believes in God says it.

One who knows God lives like it.

How do you treat your body?
-Is it in shape? Do you show it respect?

How do you treat your mind?
-Do you feed it garbage or wisdom? Do you challenge it?

How do you treat your spouse, children, family and friends?
-Do they feel loved and encouraged by you? Do you give them your best?

How do you treat strangers?
-With respect? Compassionately? Do you judge them harshly or fairly?

How do you treat your work?
-Do you try your best every day? Are you grateful for what it provides to you and your family?

How do you treat your wealth/finances?
-Are you charitable or greedy? Do you let it define you?

Most importantly, how do you treat your faith?
-Seriously? Do you make time for prayer? Do you study the Bible?

Whether you realize it or not, everything in your life revolves around your faith, even if it’s weak or nonexistent.

God wants nothing more than to bless you and to bless others through you, but you have to put yourself in a position to be blessed and to be a blessing.

The only way to do that is put Him before anything and include Him in everything.

“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
Matthew 6:33

“In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.”
Proverbs 3:6

It’s not enough to just believe in Christ.

Even satan and his demons believe in Christ.

[Tuppy Morrissey @thomasagain13]

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.

[Matt Stephens @MattSStephens]

My brothers in Christ...

No matter how strong you get, you'll never be strong enough to not have to ask for help when life gets too heavy.

Nobody is stronger than life.

Never be too prideful to ask for help when you need it.

Humility is strength.
Pride is weakness.

More amazing words from @paulwasher. Thanks, brother! https://t.co/fdf0HFjwQI

[Tuppy Morrissey @thomasagain13]

Excellent discussion of biblical masculinity from @paulwasher https://t.co/Zj0GjXrmPT

[Paul Washer @paulwasher]

Without the Word, love will become unbiblical; without prayer, it will become powerless; without ministry, it will become theoretical and romantic.

The Bible is the only self improvement book I need.

[Tuppy Morrissey @thomasagain13]

The working title of my next book is 'Jesus Christ, Bodybuilding, and Missing My Dad'. It is about the search for male role models in contemporary society, and the truth that Jesus is the only perfect role model.

[Tuppy Morrissey @thomasagain13]

This was an inspiring read for me - thanks, Jerry!
