“Of all the animosities which have existed among mankind, those which are caused by a difference of sentiments in religion appear to be the most inveterate and distressing, and ought to be deprecated. I was in hopes that the enlightened and liberal policy, which has marked the present age, would at least have reconciled Christians of every denomination so far that we should never again see the religious disputes carried to such a pitch as to endanger the peace of society.”

George Washington — letter to Edward Newenham, October 20, 1792

“History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes.”

Thomas Jefferson — in letter to Alexander von Humboldt, December 6, 1813

“The civil government functions with complete success by the total separation of the Church from the State.”

Founding Father James Madison, 1819, Writings, 8:432, quoted from Gene Garman, Essays In Addition to America’s Real Religion?

“And I have no doubt that every new example will succeed, as every past one has done, in shewing that religion & Govt will both exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together.”

James Madison — letter to Edward Livingston, July 10, 1822

“Every new and successful example of a perfect separation between ecclesiastical and civil matters is of importance.”

James Madison — letter, 1822

“When a religion is good, I conceive it will support itself; and when it does not support itself, and God does not take care to support it so that its professors are obligated to call for help of the civil power, it’s a sign, I apprehend, of its being a bad one.”

Benjamin Franklin, letter to Richard Price, October 9, 1780

“As I understand the Christian religion, it was, and is, a revelation. But how has it happened that millions of fables, tales, legends, have been blended with both Jewish and Christian revelation that have made them the most bloody religion that ever existed?”

John Adams — letter to F.A. Van der Kamp, Dec. 27, 1816

“What influence, in fact, have ecclesiastical establishments had on society? In some instances they have been seen to erect a spiritual tyranny on the ruins of the civil authority; on many instances they have been seen upholding the thrones of political tyranny; in no instance have they been the guardians of the liberties of the people. Rulers who wish to subvert the public liberty may have found an established clergy convenient auxiliaries. A just government, instituted to secure and perpetuate it, needs them not.”

James Madison — “A Memorial and Remonstrance”, 1785

“Congress has no power to make any religious establishments.”

Roger Sherman, Congress, August 19, 1789

“We have abundant reason to rejoice that in this Land the light of truth and reason has triumphed over the power of bigotry and superstition. In this enlightened Age and in this Land of equal liberty it is our boast, that a man’s religious tenets will not forfeit the protection of the Laws, nor deprive him of the right of attaining and holding the highest Offices that are known in the United States.”

George Washington — letter to the members of the New Church in Baltimore, January 27, 1793

This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were no religion in it.”

John Adams

“Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law.”

Thomas Jefferson, letter to Dr. Thomas Cooper, February 10, 1814

“Ecclesiastical establishments tend to great ignorance and corruption, all of which facilitate the execution of mischievous projects.”

James Madison

“The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe in blood for centuries.”

James Madison — 1803 letter objecting use of gov. land for churches

”I am for freedom of religion and against all maneuvers to bring about a legal ascendancy of one sect over another.”

Founding Father Thomas Jefferson — letter to Elbridge Gerry, January 26, 1799

“Of all the tyrannies that affect mankind, tyranny in religion is the worst.”

Thomas Paine

“I wish it (Christianity) were more productive of good works … I mean real good works … not holy-day keeping, sermon-hearing … or making long prayers, filled with flatteries and compliments despised by wise men, and much less capable of pleasing the Deity.”

Benjamin Franklin — Works, Vol. VII, p. 75

Mini PAC - Their Feelings For You (Romance)

This is a mini-reading I did for you guys! If you want to know more and are willing to pay, hit me up!

You can always tip me! - paypal.me/sadwidow

If you want to support me, please reblog!

10% OFF FOR ALL READINGS THAT ARE ABOVE 15 CARDS (15$) - till the end of November

GROUPS 1 - 2 -3 4 - 5 - 6 7 - 8 - 9

Instruction: Think about your person while choosing a group. Do not use more than 2 groups for one person. Remember, this is only for entertainment purposes.

GROUP 1

Cards: Release Your Ex Reversed (the time has come to clear your energy), Express Your Love Reversed (go ahead and make the romantic gesture), Keep An Open Mind (your soul mate may differ from your usual type and expectations), Love Reversed, Blank Card, Sweetheart Reversed, Wedding Rings (Union, Wedding, Married, Soul Connection, Eternal Love, Everlasting Promise), Butterfly Reversed (Relationship Evolving to the Next Phase, Healing The Inner Child, Growth), Chaser Reversed (Chaser in Co-Dependent Relationship, Fear of Abandonment Issue).

Reading: I see that your person is currently either in a committed relationship or is about to get into a relationship with another person (or even a marriage situation) and is very unlikely to leave their current connection with their partner. I don't see them being interested in you in a romantic way (I'm not even sure if they had ever thought about you in a romantic way). They are currently in love with their partner and that is not going to change for a long time. However, with the Blank Card and Keep An Open Mind Card there is potential for the two of you to be together but not right now. It's better if you move on and don't expect much here.

GROUP 2

Cards: Wedding (this situation involves marriage), Retreat (it's time to disconnect from the world), Let Go Of Control Issues (allow this situation to unfold naturally), Sunglasses Reversed (Watching, Looking, Stalking, Gaslighting, Perception, Focusing Out), Heart With A Key Reversed (Welcoming Love, Meeting The One, Open Your Heart, Getting Together), Hand Of Cards in Horizontal Position (Take a Chance, Risk, Being Strategic, Options, Not Showing Hand), Ecclesiastic Reversed, Widower Reversed, Message.

Reading: This person is interested in you, that's for sure. They want to spend time with you and you only, no other people around. They're pretty stressed out about this situation, it's like their Heart and Throat Chakras are blocked. For now, they decided not to make any hasty actions toward you. They're waiting for the right time and also they want to see how your connection will unfold without romance involved. They do want to message you or contact you in any way they could but once again, they're restraining themselves. Maybe they're still healing a little from their previous relationship/situationship. They don't check out your social media and they avoid talking about you with others - they don't want to get too excited and take a risk. Their heart is still closed off and they're learning how to move on from past traumas.

GROUP 3

Cards: Religious Factors Reversed (your love life is influenced by your religious upbringing and spiritual path), Heart-To-Heart Conversations Reversed (honestly discuss your feelings with each other), Make The Effort Reversed (great love is worth taking the steps you're guided to take), Soulmates (Soul Connection, Partnership, Agreement, Soul Contract), Self-Indulgence (Focus on Self, Self-Worth, Time to Heal, Shadow Work), Sunglasses Reversed (Stalking, Watching, Looking), Lover, Fortune, Fidelity Reversed.

Reading: This person is interested in you sexually. They are not someone who likes committed relationships or being exclusive with people. They like to have their needs fulfilled but there's nothing beyond that. You guys could be great Friends With Benefits but other than that, I don't see them changing their mind any time soon (or even at all). You guys do have a connection (Soulmate Card) but not in a romantic sense. If you want to, you can tell this person that you want to be more than friends but be prepared for disappointment. It's not worth it to give your time to this person if you expect a relationship out of it.

GROUP 4

Cards: Stay Optimistic About Your Love Life Reversed (positive thinking and faith will bring you romance), Express Your Love Reversed (go ahead and make the romantic gesture), Reconciliation (someone from your past is returning to your life), Death, Marriage Reversed, Jealousy Reversed, Love (Affection, Attraction, Unconditional Love), Coffin Reversed (Endings, Growth, New Beginnings, Change, Liberation), Butterfly Reversed (Relationship Evolving to the Next Phase, Healing The Inner Child, Growth).

Reading: If you are asking about your former lover/your ex/your past situationship/past friendship then yes, they are coming back into your life. If not, then this reading is still for you. Not everything has ended between you guys but the reason for coming back to you is not a romantic offer, but a closure. You might be having some fun in the beginning, going on dates, having sex and spending time together but this connection will end. I'm not even seeing anything about staying friends or staying in touch - this is the last time you can say whatever you want to say.

GROUP 5

Cards: Enemy, Love, Loss, Snake (Competition, Enemy, Look Over Your Shoulder, The Other Woman, Malicious), Photograph (Missing You, Nostalgia, Make New Memories), Separation Reversed (Missing You, Sadness, Unsure of Future), Passion hidden under Separation Card (Insane Chemistry, Having Fun, Like Each Other Equally), Let Go Of Control Issues Reversed (allow this situation to unfold naturally), Forgiving And Learning Reversed (as you release and heal the past, you experience more love in your present moments), This Could Be The One Reversed (you've already met the romantic partner you seek).

Reading: Oh boy, this is a complicated one and I'd have to draw more cards to get a clearer picture but this is a mini-reading so I'll try to give you guys any information I could pick up from the cards I have currently. I feel like you've been friends with this person for a long time (or you just know each other for a long time) so it's fair to say you have some strong fundaments that you can build a relationship on. There is some strong chemistry there and they actually enjoy your company. Yes, they are interested in you but someone else appeared to be your competitor. I strongly sense feminine energy that is cunning, strong and manipulative. Your person can't decide which one of you will be a better option to date - they don't want to lose you so continuing your friendship is the safest bet. Your competitor also doesn't make things easier for you since they keep persuading and pressuring your person to choose them. This also could be their current lover/girlfriend in which your person isn't much interested.

GROUP 6

Cards: Ecclesiastic, Baby Reversed, Letter Reversed, The Swords And Rose (Clarity, Truth, Revelation, Solidarity, Honor, Protection), Healing Heart (Healing From Heartbreak, Freedom From Toxic Relationship/Addiction), Love Reversed (Unconditional Love, Self-Love, Attraction, Affection), Stay Optimistic About Your Love Life (positive thinking and faith will bring you romance), You Deserve Love (you are loveable), Religious Factors Reversed (your love life is influenced by your religious upbringing and spiritual path).

Reading: Very clear message: "You deserve love. It might not be me who will give you love but please don't think you are unloveable. Someone will love you but might not be me." They care about you deeply, just not in the way you want them to. They know you like (or love) them but they can't give you the same affection. You are dear to them and they care about your feelings, that's why they don't want to lead you on. They wish you found happiness and love you so clearly deserve; they will support you in any way they can. They will fight people who hurt you and they will always have your back. They want to stay in your life. You have to move on from them. Don't expect a sudden confession or a change in their feelings - it won't happen. You're not meant to be.

(Song for you: The Night We Met - Lord Huron and Last Chance (Alt Version) - CHPTRS)

GROUP 7

Cards: Journey, Money, Desire Reversed, The Swords And Rose (Clarity, Truth, Revelation, Solidarity, Honor, Protection), The Phoenix (New Phase, Rekindle, Growth, Changed Mind), Palm Tree (Stability, Security, Permanence, Endurance), Honeymoon (enjoy the bliss of holiday time together), Playfulness (to recapture romance, allow your inner youthful spirit of fun to shine), Reconciliation Reversed (someone from your past is returning to your life).

Reading: They feel safe with you, it's like you're home for them and their inner child can be at peace. Okay, I literally want to cry during this reading, my heart is so full of love and pain at the same time so I guess this is the same thing your person feels for you. I don't know what's going on but it's very loud so I'll say it: Enjoy the time with this person when you still can. Even if you're tired, go meet up. I feel like they will disappear from your life and they know it, that's why there's so much pain and I want to cry. I feel like they're going somewhere or maybe they're getting married? They are entering something or going somewhere that will make it impossible to be with you and they don't have any power over it. Maybe they have a kid on the way or there is an arranged marriage? I have no idea. Enjoy your time together while it lasts.

GROUP 8

Cards: Sweetheart, Hope Reversed, Malady Reversed, Paradise (Happiness, Expansion, Oneness, Enjoying Each Other), Date (Meeting Someone New, Set A Date, Dating), Photograph Reversed (Missing You, Nostalgia, Make New Memories), Romantic Feelings (your feelings are real and worth exploring), Give Your Relationship A Chance (work on your partnership), Religious Factors Reversed (your love life is influenced by your religious upbringing and spiritual path).

Reading: Are you already invested in each other? It seems like you either have a thing or are about to go on a date. Either way, they're quite happy with how things are turning out with you. They do have a romantic interest in you and they're willing to work on themselves if it means getting together with you. There's slight negativity here - as if they're expecting you to just dump them all of sudden or realize you don't like them anymore. Maybe they've been hurt before and they're ready for the worst possible scenario - please affirm that you like them because sometimes they doubt that you do.

(Song: Heather by Conan Gray)

GROUP 9

Cards: Money, Loss Reversed, Desire Reversed, Passion (allow your heart and soul to sing with joy), Past-Life Relationship Reversed (you have known each other before), True Love Reversed (this is the romance of a lifetime), Boat (Progressions, Receiving What You Need, Closure Issues), Cassette (Outdated Thinking, Over In Your Head, Replaying Events), Seduction Reversed (Attraction, Flirting, Temptation, Third-Party).

Reading: You are a temptation to them - something that is forbidden, yet they crave it. It's an animalistic urge to have you all to themselves - they don't like the person they are around you. They're either in a relationship or after a breakup. You might have had sexual intercourse but unfortunately, sex is all that exists between you. I see the want to possess you (in every meaning of the word) and the feeling is ugly. They are aware of how selfish they are with you. You also might be seducing them on purpose and trying to show them you want to have a relationship with them but, again, they become toxic around you.

Is there a Random Chance You'll Read This? YOU Decide.

Is there a Random Chance You’ll Read This? YOU Decide.

Time and Chance might seem to have no place in a world ruled by a Sovereign God. Both Bible Scholars and skeptics believe in an either-or universe in which God has pre-ordained all things, and where determinism restricts the choices men may make about existence. The tension between God’s sovereignty and man’s free will is a difficult thing to sort out, but surely God has a plan designed to…

Ecclesiastes 9:10

‘Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.’

Each day we have a great opportunity to do the best that we can do. Life presents us with a chance to make a difference and be a blessing. Don’t waste time with a wrong attitude, either grumbling or complaining.

Take advantage of the time you are given and make the best use of it.

Prayer: Lord, thank You for this new day and this new opportunity to be productive and kind. Help me not to waste a single moment, but cause my life to be fruitful and successful as I do what I need to do with all my strength. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Embracing the Fruit of the Spirit:

Cultivating Christlike Character

Introduction: Embark on a transformative journey through the fruit of the Spirit as we explore the qualities that reflect the character of Christ. Join us on this enriching exploration of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, and discover how they can shape our lives and relationships.

Scripture Passage: Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV) Cross References: John 15:1-17, Colossians 3:12-17, 2 Peter 1:5-8

Commentary: In Galatians 5, Paul lists the fruit of the Spirit as evidence of a life surrendered to Christ. These qualities—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—flow from a heart transformed by the Holy Spirit and reflect the character of Christ Himself.

In John 15, Jesus uses the analogy of the vine and branches to illustrate the importance of abiding in Him to bear fruit. He emphasizes the intimate connection between abiding in His love and producing fruit that glorifies the Father.

Colossians 3 calls believers to clothe themselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another and forgiving as the Lord has forgiven us. These virtues are essential for maintaining unity in the body of Christ.

In 2 Peter 1, believers are encouraged to make every effort to add to their faith goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, mutual affection, and love. These qualities ensure that we will be effective and productive in our knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Broader Context:

Love:

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 - The characteristics of love as described by Paul.

John 13:34-35 - Jesus commands his disciples to love one another as He has loved them.

1 John 4:7-12 - Believers are called to love one another because love comes from God.

Joy:

Psalm 16:11 - In God's presence is fullness of joy.

Nehemiah 8:10 - The joy of the Lord is our strength.

John 15:11 - Jesus desires His joy to be in us, and for our joy to be complete.

Peace:

Isaiah 26:3 - God promises perfect peace to those whose minds are steadfast.

Romans 5:1 - Through faith in Jesus, we have peace with God.

Philippians 4:6-7 - God's peace guards our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Patience:

Ecclesiastes 7:8 - Patience is better than pride.

Romans 12:12 - Believers are called to be patient in affliction.

James 5:7-8 - Be patient and stand firm, for the Lord's coming is near.

Kindness:

Ephesians 4:32 - Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other.

Proverbs 19:22 - What is desired in a man is kindness.

Colossians 3:12 - As God's chosen people, clothe yourselves with kindness.

Goodness:

Psalm 23:6 - Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life.

Romans 12:21 - Overcome evil with good.

Titus 2:14 - Christ gave himself for us to redeem us and purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

Faithfulness:

1 Corinthians 4:2 - Faithfulness is required of stewards.

2 Timothy 2:13 - God remains faithful even when we are faithless.

Revelation 2:10 - Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor's crown.

Gentleness:

Proverbs 15:1 - A gentle answer turns away wrath.

Galatians 6:1 - Restore others gently when they are caught in sin.

1 Peter 3:15 - In your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect.

Self-Control:

Proverbs 25:28 - A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.

1 Corinthians 9:25 - Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.

Titus 2:11-12 - For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age.

Questions:

Which fruit of the Spirit do you find most challenging to cultivate in your life, and why?

In what ways can you abide more deeply in Christ to bear fruit that reflects His character?

How do the fruit of the Spirit impact your relationships with God and others?

What practical steps can you take to nurture the fruit of the Spirit in your daily life?

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, we thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit who produces fruit in our lives that reflects the character of Christ. Help us to cultivate these virtues daily, empowering us to love as you love, to bring joy wherever we go, and to walk in peace amidst life's storms. May our lives bear witness to your transformative power and bring glory to your name. Amen.

Tyndale Life Application Daily Devotion

Devotional for May 3rd

Young people, it's wonderful to be young! Enjoy every minute of it. Do everything you want to do; take it all in. But remember that you must give an account to God for everything you do. So refuse to worry, and keep your body healthy. But remember that youth, with a whole life before you, is meaningless. - Ecclesiastes 11:9-10

Insight

We often hear people say, “It doesn't matter.” But many of your choices will be irreversible—they will stay with you for a lifetime. What you do when you're young does matter.

Challenge

Enjoy life now, but don't do anything physically, morally, or spiritually that will prevent you from enjoying life when you are old.

writing patterns

[list the first line of your last ten fics and see if there's a pattern.]

thank you so much for the tag @perverse-idyll! a variety of multi-chapter and one shots here, so let's see if any similarities emerge...

subluxation - rodolphus lestrange/percy weasley

It is an ordinary day.

2. one year in every ten - harry potter/tom riddle

In the United Kingdom, a man kills a woman every three days.

3. the war of the roses - sirius black/severus snape

It begins with blood.

4. ecclesiastes three - andromeda tonks & her sisters

How bizarre, she said to herself, that the charms on the ceiling of the Great Hall should have held through a battle.

5. bó na leath adhairce - merope gaunt

The village of Little Hangleton was a cluster of houses and shops - stone walls the shimmery colour of brown sugar, gardens neat with lupins and alliums - set in a rolling swipe of bucolic Lancashire splendour.

6. sparkling cyanide - hokey the house elf & hepzibah smith

Eokhí is waking up one morning in her nest on the kitchen floor.

7. the pleiades - bellatrix lestrange/lord voldemort

The cupboard had been unlocked the day she turned ten.

8. catmint - minerva mcgonagall & pomona sprout

For thirty years, her morning stomp to the greenhouses had been marked by a crunch - crunch - crunch-ing of gravel under the stout boots she used to shield her ankles from the more nibbly plants.

9. scylla and charybdis - severus snape/lord voldemort

[this one needs two sentences, for obvious reasons.]

In 1963, Richard Beeching published a report called The Reshaping of British Railways. This has made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

10. everlasting ink - delphini riddle & ginny weasley

When she was sixteen, she nearly died.

well. it's clear we can learn that i'm not particularly fond of a long opening sentence - which is at odds with the fact that i use a lot of compound sentences elsewhere in all of these stories.

although sentence structure isn't - as i doubt it is for most people - the thing that readers particularly comment on... what gets brought up to me most frequently when people are kind enough to leave responses to my writing is the idea that each of my characters has a distinctive narrative voice, whether they're part of an ensemble piece [readers of one year in every ten have told me a lot that they particularly look forward to sections from ron's perspective as a emotionally mature respite from harry being reckless and tom being a dick] or the sole focus of the piece, and i think you can see that in these lines.

and - y'know - hopefully they're a good hook...

[i'll tag @ashesandhackles, @cealesti, @midnightstargazer, @celestemagnoliathewriter @incalculablepower and anyone else interested in playing.]

#asenora fics #asenora on writing #for someone who doesn't shut up i can be surprisingly restrained when it comes to the written word...
