I think many Christian's should ask themselves this question.
I personally struggled with comprehending this and am still reflecting on it.
Tumblr media
I am continuing my study of Acts 10.
Peter mentions that anyone that fears God and does what is right is acceptable to God. What does it mean to fear God?
"Fearing God" is a concept that is often misunderstood. In a biblical sense, fearing God does not mean being frightened or scared of Him, but rather it means having a deep reverence, awe, and respect for His power, authority, and holiness. It involves acknowledging God's greatness and sovereignty over all creation, as well as recognizing our own unworthiness and sinfulness in comparison to His perfect and holy nature.
When we fear God, we are motivated to live a life that is pleasing to Him, to obey His commandments, and to seek His will above our own. This fear is not based on terror or punishment, but on a deep love and reverence for our Creator. It is a healthy and necessary part of our relationship with God, as it helps us to stay humble, obedient, and focused on what truly matters in life.
Do you fear God?

When I asked...
When I asked adults what they thought of Jesus, I got mixed answers.
When I asked adults what they thought of Jesus, they told me about suffering, sin. about dying.
When I asked adults what they thought of Jesus, they also told me about hope.
When I asked adults what they thought of Jesus, they told me about questioning and being unsure in their faith.
When I asked adults what they thought of Jesus, they told me about abusive parents and older adults who forced their religion on them.
When I asked adults what they thought of Jesus, they told me about more negative things than positive ones.
When I asked children what they thought of Jesus, they told me that His favorite animal was a donkey because that's how He came to Jerusalem.
When I asked children what they thought of Jesus, they started fighting over whether his favorite animal was a dove. Because had it been a donkey, He would have made the holy spirit to be a donkey.
When I asked children what they thought of Jesus, they told me about fish and bread. They told me about finding eggs on easter and how beautiful it is to see the christmas tree with all it's candles, all bright and shining.
When I asked children what they thought of Jesus, they told me things we all seem to forget over time. They told me about joy.

This is so true and I think many christians need to be reminded of this, that being a christian fies not exclude you of having bad times or going through tough things but with God by our sides we can get through 'em no matter how long it takes
Tumblr media
C.S. Lewis' quote "Life with God is not immunity from difficulties, but peace in difficulties" means that believing in God doesn't guarantee a problem-free life. Difficulties and challenges are still a part of the human experience.
Here's a breakdown of the meaning:
* Life with God: This refers to having faith and a relationship with God, however that's defined by the individual.
* Not immunity from difficulties: Difficulties are inevitable. Life throws curveballs, and even people of faith face hardship, loss, and suffering.
* Peace in difficulties: This is the key part. Faith can provide a sense of inner peace, even amidst challenges. It can offer:
* Strength and resilience: Belief can give you the courage to face difficulties and the hope to persevere.
* Acceptance: Faith can help you understand that suffering is part of life, and it may even have a purpose.
* Perspective: Belief can offer a larger perspective on life's troubles, reminding you that they're not the whole story.
So, the quote emphasizes that faith isn't a magic shield against problems. However, it can provide a source of strength, comfort, and peace as you navigate life's inevitable difficulties.

Dead poets society had no right making me cry so much and fill me with a burning desire to carpe diem everyday and become like just like Mr. Keating and Neil and Todd and the rest of them at the same time.

If we interacted for the first time today via boops and are unlikely to run into each other again because we don't have the same fandom niches I just want you to know our boop bond is real and if I ever see you randomly come across my dash I'll think to myself "aww my boop bud" and send you warm thoughts and good vibes

Art is dead - Bo Burnham is relatable.
Because I've been taught that my theater group depends on donations to finance the shows.
Because I've been taught that art is painting with colors. Anything else is anything but art.
Because art can't get you a stable life, you have to get a "real" job.
Because everyone likes the artistic pieces unless they find out they're made by a part of a group they hate (like disabled, poc, queer, etc.)
Because most successful artists have committed crimes nowadays.
Because my aunt complains that we don't do more modern pieces and doesn't appreciate our new interpretations of art that has existed for a long time.
Because art class is just about painting and not how we can utilize words, melodies, our voice to create all kinds of art.
Because artists get destroyed by (modern) education.
Because how can it be that I have been told countless times that "PaInTiNg WoNt GeT mE aNyWhErE" or "YoU cAnT mAkE a LiViNg OfF oF yOuR(my) wRiTiNg" and no one DARES to question why??
Because how can it be that people can't (won't) look at the layers old poems or paintings have and just view the top layer, which is how it looks???
BECAUSE I'VE BEEN CALLED A NERD FOR LOOKING BEHIND THE OBVIOUS JUST BECAUSE THE AVERAGE TEENAGER CAN'T.
BECAUSE I'VE BEEN CALLED CRINGE FOR WRITING AND THAT I SHOULD KEEP IT SECRET
BECAUSE THE WHOLE CLASS GROANS WHEN I WANNA PRESENT WHAT I'VE WRITTEN
BECAUSE MY WRITING HAS BEEN CALLED EMBARRASSING,
YET OTHERS ARE ENVIOUS OF MY PAINTINGS
EVEN THOUGH I JUST PAINT WHAT WORDS I HAVE IN MY HEAD
BECAUSE MY OWN FATHER MOCKED ME FOR MY FIRST ATTEMPTS AT WRITING
BECAUSE I'VE BEEN CALLED "CRINGE" "EMBARRASSING" AND A "NERD" JUST BECAUSE I AM NOT AS MENTALLY PUT BEHIND AS THE AVERAGE STUDENT
YES I CAN'T DO MATH AS GOOD AS YOU, BUT I HAVE EXCELLED AT THE JOKE POETRY ASSIGNMENT MY GERMAN TEACHER GAVE ME, WHEN YOU HAVE FAILED AND I WATCHED GLEEFULLY
I CAN EXPRESS MYSELF THROUGH MY KIND OF ART BETTER THAN YOU CAN ATTEMPT BECAUSE YES I MAY HAVE FOUR As BUT I STILL HAVE A MIND THAT CAN CREATE AND NOT JUST FOLLOW RULES.
My writing is art.
I want it to be recognized as art.
Art is not cringe.
Art is not embarrassing.
Art is not something to groan at.
Art is not something only for nerds.
Art is wonderful.
Art is to be appreciated and interpreted again.
And I fear for the future if this is the start of how art will be treated.
