The Believers' Adoption Into God's Family
As those who have been redeemed by the blood of Christ, we have been transferred from Satan’s “domain of darkness” (Col 1:13) and placed into the family of God. Our new status is as “children of God” (John 1:12; cf., Rom 8:16; Phil 2:15). John wrote, “See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are” (1 John 3:1a). We do not come into…

Constantly thinking about how WWX thinks about JC how he thinks JFM thought about YZY but mostly as how he denied and yet carelessly commented JFM thinks (disregards) about JC
It is so, so, so fucked up and one of the reasons why chengxian is so doomed by the narrative bc no matter what JC does or says, WWX already "knows" what is about. Bc JC is his shidi and WWX knows best. And still, pre masacre, pre core exchange, it could have work. It could have, because they love each other so much but JC lost his core. WWX thinks he chose his parents. He thinks Jc choose the dead bodies of his parents, a filial duty, over survival, over him. And he never forgave Jc for it.
Bc now is WWX turn to assume the consequences of his shidi actions, now it is his turn to bear the pain for him. And he does not do it with reluctance, he does not, he does it bc he loves Jc so so much, but still. Still. The hurt it caused it. The hell it send to him. The hopelessness.
And then to see his shidi thrive were he can’t no longer. To see him shine when he is but a shadow. To see him reach for the impossible time and time again as if it was not WWX who never gave up before, who rallied his shidi over his (small, imagined, greedy) woes. To see all that and know envy, envy he had denied his whole life and envy he will repress into resentment, into sth useful bc WWX is not like yzy or Jc he is not, he does not hurt the ones he lives with his jealousy and sense of inferiority. Bc how can he not envy, when one says his dad doesn’t love him but he still has a dad? When one says he is not enough for his sect when he has such a inheritance, such a clear path at life. And WWX never cared never ever ever, how could he? He loved his shidi best, in spite of all the bad things.
And somehow, Jc himself is a thing he has to be loved in spite of. And it’s heartbreaking.

by Pastor Jack Wellman | A man came up to Jesus asking Him what he must do to inherit eternal life (Matt 19:16). That was his first mistake. It’s not what we can do, but what Jesus has done. Jesus set the standard of doing good by living a sinless life, but this man’s mind was set on “doing something,” so Jesus told him if he wants eternal life, to keep the commandments (Matt 19:17). For some reason the man asked Jesus which commandments, and then...

Fushi from to your eternity is a little pitiful thing. His creator created a paradise he himself couldn’t live in and then tossed all his godhood to experience human life. But…he forgot to give Fushi an stop button like his.
Fushi is condemned to aimlessly wander around in search of new vessels and stimuli, but is completely unable to “create” new things like his creator. So, if the world was a barren wasteland, with no people, with no way out, his inability to “create” new things will force him to sit down and observe until something fun and interesting appears.

I’m still putting citations in like….. the actual essay portion of this thing but seriously is it reasonable to assume that the duc’s household is in charge of major road upkeep?
Like I am doing stupid math about the tax issue and obviously it’s not something that comes up in game but given that Caed Nua’s land grant is somehow both small and encompasses enough of the border/main trade routes that it’s also at least currently the roadwarden’s seat (I have……. Many questions about how that’s supposed to work given the rest of the lore But), so reasonably it’s in charge of that particular portion of roads, except that leaves us with either a. Caed Nua was not anywhere near as rundown as shown (which is better supported) or b. Somebody else is paying for that upkeep, and if it’s somebody else by process of elimination it’s the duc’s problem. Which yes would mean I have to redo all my math because I did all that before going wait hold on.
(The process of elimination is as follows: if it’s not a local expense, it’s not going to be the thayn’s problem either because that’s a really dumb way to break main road expenses down (and also if it were Raedric’s problem it wouldn’t be getting done based on the state of his portion of roads). If it’s not the thayn it probably also isn’t whatever’s above them in authority because at that point you’ve taken the honor away from the erl. It can’t be Bademar’s problem because, again, he wouldn’t be getting it done and also people would probably hate him less, which leaves it up to the Duc.)
Tbh my gut feeling is it’s subsidized by the Duc but it’s a local work, and there are probably fines for not doing your share, but on the third (fourth?) hand that would mean minimum splitting the tolls and I just can’t see that happening.

How can we dishonor a…

Living As Citizens of the Kingdom
12 Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. 13 Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let those of us who…

Resurrection part 3: Daniel's "end of days" resurrection prophecy
We are continuing the third essay today in a four-part series on the topic of resurrection. So far in our exploration of this far-reaching topic, we have viewed instances of individual, bodily resurrections throughout the Bible. We also looked at what Yeshua taught about all the righteous throughout the history of Israel who were still considered as alive to God, since “God is not the God of the…
