No gimmicks. Just Christ and a Christian perspective. All are welcome.

@TL2LonX John 10:10 — “I have come that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.”Even when we feel low or weak, His life within us remains strong and abundant, reminding us that true life is in Him.

@AttorneyCrump According to Matthew 24:12, undermining the rule of law contributes to the love of many growing cold. So, judicial injustice in the name of “social” justice may deliver a sense of short term relief for a select few, but it likely makes their situation worse in the long term…

We all need a new start with the Lord—forgetting the past and turning to Him afresh. The Lord is our divine power within, energizing us daily, and as the Spirit, He is our constant companion.

@enjoyer_lr Generally, I am a person of life, but there are days where I am more a person of life than others.

[Enjoyer LR @enjoyer_lr]

Am I a person of life?
Do I experience life?
Does my living bear the issues of life?
Good trees bear good fruit;
Healthy plant, healthy root;
Oh Lord! The ground in my heart!

@elonmusk The anti-intellectualism of the modern liberal is matched only by their disconnection from reality. I am reminded of Daniel 8:12, “he cast truth to the ground, and he took action and prospered.”

@sirDukeDevin This meme commits no less than five fallacies of logic: cum hoc ergo propter hoc, false cause, non squitter, anecdotal, and appeal to ridicule. Does the so-called educated class of liberal masses think outdoing the fallacies of the right will #trump the right? #Hmmm.

Today, I was considering Psalm 116:1. The first part says, “I love the Lord, because He has heard my voice…” Isn’t that amazing? God (who is love), the creator of all things, hears our voice. This reminded me of 1 Peter 5:7, “Casting all your anxiety on Him because it matters to Him concerning you.” Eventually, I landed at Psalm 8:4, “what is mortal man, that You remember him…”

In the quiet and calm of the early morning hours, I am often humbled before the Lord because I think why, why do You (of all people) consider me? It makes no sense. I struggle to comprehend God’s motivation. As the apostle Paul said in Romans 7:24, “Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from the body of this death?”

So, again I ask, why, why do You (of all people) consider me, who is most undeserving? The answer from deep within is ALWAYS the same, “because I love you.” And in that moment I often cry because there is nothing I (or we) have done to deserve God’s love and, therefore, mercy and ultimately His grace.

And yes, we are wretched compared to the excellency of God’s magnificence, who He is as a person, as the I Am, the one who is all that are not but desperately need in terms of character, conduct, capability and capacity. We are humbled on the one hand but so encouraged on the other because of Romans 8:10, “if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, the spirit is life because of righteousness” and 1 John 1:7, “the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from every sin” so that, according to Ephesians 2:18, “through Him we both have access in one Spirit unto the Father” who is called “the God of all grace” in 1 Peter 5:10.

Humbled before the magnificence of God (who is love), in a realization of our wretchedness, and being delivered to hope in Christ we find ourselves in the second part of Psalm 116:1, “…my supplications” and even onward into the next verse, Psalm 116:2, “because He inclines His ear to me; therefore, I will call upon Him all my days.”

Lord, make us like Daniel
And his companions
To turn this age.
Your chosen ones
Have been taken captive,
Filled up with worldly food
And loving other things.

When a person revels in or hopes for the death of another, they are NOT on the side of life. Whether left or right, they are anti-Christ. In a word, they are Satanic. The more concerning question is, how many Satanic educators are indoctrinating our children? @charliekirk11.

@WallStreetApes She figured this out AFTER agreeing to the loan? I recently looked into buying a house and after seeing I they wanted $450K to borrow $350K (a total of $800K) I said...NOPE. Yeah, the loan is highway robbery, so to speak, but I'm sorry, she's not that bright for agreeing to it.

In John 21:15-17 we see that feeding others the spiritual food (the real food) is an expression of God's love toward them through us. Hence, this is a noble aspect of our Christian experience.

@charliekirk11 @NFL I didn’t care for it before men mocking women were included. I care less for it now.

Today I was reminded of a simple word, humility. It led me to James 4:6 and 1 Peter 5:5, “God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Interestingly, the context for both verses is our conduct in daily life.

We find this connection between grace and our daily life in Hebrews 4:16 as well, but with the element of God’s mercy added to it, “Let us therefore come forward with boldness to the throne of grace that we may receive mercy and find grace for timely help.”

There’s a lot more to this topic that relates to the experience of Christ, including the cross of Christ, the throne of God’s grace, receiving (or enjoying) Christ as living water, and so much more…

The key point about humility is our ability to receive grace for timely help in every practical matter of daily life. Humility is the beginning of every Christian experience. It is the key (or door) to every spiritual blessing and every promise of God (the Father) that we find in Christ (the Son) by His Spirit who dwells in us, which Spirit is called “the Holy Spirit of the promise” in Ephesians 1:13.

Ephesians 2:4 shows us that God is rich in mercy because of His great love. So, God wants to love us. He wants to bless us; but many times, we are not humble; and because we are not humble, we lack that one thing in our life that delivers God’s blessing to us, His grace, which is Christ Himself, by what is called “the riches of His glory” in Ephesians 1:18, where the hope of our calling is found.

There’s just so much to this seemingly insignificant word. Humility is deeply rooted in and integral to every aspect of our Christian experience…

Many of us (if not most) know John 3:16, which is a really good verse because it is God's love toward us; but the more we know the love of God, we are transitioned to 1 John 3:16, God's love as a channel for His blessing to reach others through us. It appears, by 1 John 3:16 and other verses that sacrifice is a key word for our experience of love and a chief indicator of our being perfected in it.

Genesis 3:1-6, “Now the serpent was more crafty than any other animal of the field that Jehovah God had made. And he said to the woman, Did God really say, You shall not eat of any tree of the garden? And the woman said to the serpent, Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; But of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, You shall not eat of it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die. And the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die! For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will become like God, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was a delight to the eyes and that the tree was to be desired to make oneself wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she also gave some to her husband with her, and he ate.”

@razzli_ For the same reason you have so much hatred and, therefore, judgement in your heart, the same reason I have it in mine and everyone else has it theirs. Consider Matthew 24:12 and Romans 3:10-18, paying particular attention to the last verse…and the importance of Proverbs 4:23.
