I’ve heard the saying that “God gives his toughest battles to his toughest soldiers.” But when I see the disciples that Jesus chose and suffered for His name sake, I don’t see Him choosing the “toughest soldiers”, as I learn about men and women in the past and even today who have laid down their lives for Jesus, once again I don’t see God choosing His “toughest soldiers.” But I see a strong and mighty God choosing weak men and woman, and empowering them by His Holy Spirit to face some of the toughest battles and be used for His glory.
I once thought I was a “tough soldier” until I met Jesus, I then realized that I’m so weak without Him, and apart from Jesus I can’t do anything. I need Jesus daily. The only way that I can truly become who God wants me to be and truly do what God wants me to do, is not by my power not by my might, but only by The Spirit of The Living God. Thank you Jesus.
@Rebel_w_ACause@OlympianGaming@needGod_net@michaeljknowles True Christians don’t lose salvation. The idea that they can undermines the power of
Jesus’ death burial and resurrection. He doesn’t take this gift away from his followers.
You know what? When there are terrorist attacks in the US by extremists I’d prefer that the same politicians and podcasters who egg them on with non stop inflammatory rhetoric and by endorsing Hamas rallies and who refuse to condemn phrases like “Globalize the intifada” and who blame everything on Jews don’t then try to act surprised or sympathetic when these attacks happen. It’s insulting and you’re not fooling anybody. I’d rather Mamdani be more like his wife who probably already smashed the like button a billion times and threw a party at Gracie Mansion. At least she owns it. Give me the straight forward hatred rather than the hypocrisy.
Russell Westbrook hit a game-winner against Denver on the day he broke the Big O's triple-double record that stood for 47 years.
Shai hit a game-winner against Denver on the day he tied Wilt's record for consecutive 20+ point games, which had stood for 63 years.
Thunder greats.

Be encouraged knowing that if you're saved by Jesus…
No matter how bad this world gets, it's as close to Hell as you'll ever be, because Heaven is your home.
@BroadbentChris@JoshuaBarzon Protestants don’t deny that Catholic councils recognized the books of the Bible. Councils didn’t create Scripture they recognized what God had already established. God’s Word was authoritative before councils and remains so regardless of recognition.
"The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!" - President Donald J. Trump
