Okay so basically all day today I have been meditating on the Scriptures. I mean, yeah i took some short breaks to eat lunch and do math work and spanish. But even then, my focus was only partly on that. And honestly?
Worth it. I have felt amazing. All day. Tired? Yes. Hungry? Extremely. But oh my God when Jesus said "One should not live on bread alone but on every word that comes forth from the mouth of God" HE WASN'T LYING!!! It has been a sublime experience.
I don't really know why I'm saying this other then to say that, I typically don't read my bible; at least, not as often as I should. I always was like "I read it when I have time." And I did. But today? Today, I made time. And I wouldn't trade that for anything.
Dear reader, read the scriptures. "oh I don't hav-" NO! I didn't say "Try to read your bible" I said read them. Meditate on it. Day and Night. If you have time to be on tumblr, you have time to read the scriptures. If you have trouble understanding it, that's okay! Keep reading. Pray. Look at the context. As your friends and family. Ask me. Ask yourself what references it's making. What did early church fathers and mothers have to say about it? How does it connect to Genesis 1-3? How does it connect to Jesus the Messiah? Those last two are espcially important. Every theme connects backwards to Genesis 1 thru 3 and forward to the Messiah.

Hallow App: Elevate Your Meditation Practice to New Heights
Shaina Tranquilino
January 7, 2024
Tumblr media
In today's fast-paced and digitally-driven world, finding moments of peace and tranquility can be challenging. However, thanks to technological advancements, we now have access to countless apps designed to help us improve our overall well-being. Among these remarkable offerings is the Hallow app – a powerful tool that aims to transform your meditation practice into a deeply enriching and transformative experience.
What is Hallow?
Hallow is an innovative meditation app specifically tailored for Christians, Catholics, or really anyone, seeking to deepen their spirituality through prayer and contemplation. This unique platform combines ancient Christian and Catholic traditions with modern technology to provide users with a comprehensive range of guided meditations, prayers, reflections, sleep stories, and more.
For some reason, I feel called to return to my roots and practice more "traditional" spirituality. At the beginning of this new year in 2024, I felt compelled to read the Bible, making it my New Year's resolution. Growing up Catholic and attending Catholic elementary and high school, I have previously read the Bible. However, at that time, I found it somewhat boring as it was not taught in an engaging manner suitable for children. Nevertheless, with the Hallow App, I find that they present passages from the Bible in a more comprehensible manner. Not only do they offer easy-to-understand explanations, but they also provide options like listening to the Bible or their teachings presented poetically or through meditation styles. This app is ideal for individuals who prefer a less traditional approach to learning about God, connecting with God, and reading the Bible as it offers a simpler and more accessible way.
Features and Benefits:
1. Guided Catholic Meditations: Hallow offers a vast library of guided meditations led by experienced Catholic priests, theologians, and spiritual directors. These meditations cover various themes such as gratitude, forgiveness, healing, discernment, anxiety relief, and many more. Each session incorporates scripture readings, personal reflections, and soothing music to guide users towards a deeper connection with God.
2. Daily Prayer Plans: To foster consistency and growth in one's spiritual journey, Hallow provides personalized daily prayer plans that cater to different needs and goals. Whether you're looking for assistance in developing a habit of prayer or seeking specific intentions like inner peace or strength during difficult times – Hallow has you covered.
3. Sleep Stories & Music: Recognizing the importance of quality sleep for overall well-being, Hallow includes calming sleep stories inspired by Christian spirituality that gently lull users into deep relaxation before bed. Additionally, the app offers peaceful instrumental music tracks ideal for meditation sessions or simply creating a serene ambiance throughout the day.
4. Community Support: One of the standout features of Hallow is its supportive community aspect. Users can connect with fellow Christians around the world, share their experiences, and offer encouragement. This sense of community fosters a supportive environment that helps users stay motivated and committed to their spiritual practice.
In a world filled with distractions and stress, finding moments of peace and connecting with our spirituality is essential for our overall well-being. The Hallow app provides an invaluable resource for Christians, Catholics, or really anyone, seeking to deepen their relationship with God through meditation, prayer, and reflection. With its extensive library of guided meditations, personalized prayer plans, sleep stories, and vibrant community support – Hallow empowers individuals to embark on a transformative journey towards spiritual growth and inner peace.
So why not take the first step toward enhancing your meditation practice today? Download the Hallow app and experience the profound benefits it has to offer – allowing yourself to be guided towards a more centred and fulfilling life rooted in Christian spirituality. https://hallow.com/

We will find time for just about anything, except when it comes to finding time to spend with God. The time you make for this world is time wasted, while the time spent with God is time that counts for eternity.
In a world where most movies, TV shows, and even cartoons, are desensitizing us to the dangers of sin, we must be extremely careful with what we see. Not to mention, you are directly, or indirectly, supporting immoral companies to keep doing what they’re doing by purchasing and downloading their content.
We must make time for our growth in holiness. We must make time to read and study His Word. We are told we must “meditate day and night” on His Word and His laws (Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1:2). We must make time for Him! How could we expect to spend eternity in heaven if we are not willing to spend what little time we have on this earth?
Stop wasting time on things that will have no bearing on eternity. You think anyone in heaven cares about your favorite streaming show? You think anyone in heaven cares about your rank in a video game? Stop acting like a child (1 Corinthians 13:11) and walk in a manner worthy of your calling (Ephesians 4:1): that is, a Christian—a follower of Christ.
Stop living for yourself. Stop living for your flesh and desires.
Start living for God.

What is life if not a cataclysm: The annihilation of a people. The destruction of a city. The sinking of a utopia. The crushing of a tower. A sick and dying relative. A violent parent. A child alone. Love not received. A betrayal. A magnet of misfortune. It's all of those things. But sometimes it's a shower of blessings. A deluge wiping out evil and allowing the noble, honest and virtuous to come out and rebuild. – Kaleb D.J. Nichols

For the sake of not filling up op's activity, I'll post my response here. I'm responding to this post here. And boyyyyyyyyyy is there a lot to unpack there. That said (in case op reads this) I would like first and foremost to thank you for being (moderately) reasonable and respectful. Even tho you did overgeneralize quite a bit (which is a logical fallacy) and make a few assumptions, you didn't shout expletives or call me a "cultist p*do" so I'll thank you for that.
Two more things before I start:
Never. Read. A. Bible. Verse. You take something out of context and you can justify any thing. The Scriptures (because I think "Bible" is a misleading term) are literature and have intense literary design. You can't read things out of context. If you read the Iliad out of context you could think it's about numerous things: how Helen's a s**t (even tho Homer never says that), how stealing women from the men who've enslaved them is wrong (yikes), how we should all burn down cities, how war is dangerous, how war is good, how glory is the best, how Achilles is the worst, how Achilles is the best, how being a real man means killing people in a fit or grief and rage. But the Iliad is actually about the destructive power of rage. Which you only know if you read it correctly. Same with the Scriptures.
It's Ancient Jewish Meditation Literature. And you need to know what those 4 words means because otherwise you will be reading the bible entirely wrong. It's Ancient (i.e. written FOR us but not TO us). It's Jewish (written in Hebrew or by Aramaic/Greek writers thinking in Hebrew; written in a distinctive Near Eastern Style). It's for Meditation (from a word meaning "too mutter". You are to meditate or mutter under your breath the Scriptures day and night for a lifetime). And it's literature (it's art. Divinely inspired art. But art nonetheless. There is an overarching narrative, symbolic key, theme and goal).
(EDIT: Somehow I forgot this last one). Everything EVERYTHING connects BACK to the first 3 chapters of Genesis and FORWARD to the Messiah.
Now. Let's begin.

what if i risked my life and put up (affectionate) with your unhinged monsterfucker brother to save you. and then revealed i was an expert in illegal black magic just so i could resurrect you from a pile of bones. and what if i later explored your body in the bath. and you laced our fingers together and offered to share your energy with me. and what if after all that… there was only one bed. what then.

Scripture says this about the devil: "Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; You corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor," therefore, "[God has] cast you to the ground." The devil's pride corrupted his heart and the once-beautiful angel was cast down.
The apostle Paul lists pride as one of the attributes to disqualify someone from a leadership position in the church: "being puffed up with pride he fall into the same condemnation as the devil."
In Proverbs 6:16-19, we are told that pride (the original Hebrew actually indicates it’s one who thinks highly of himself) is on top of the list of what God hates. It's the humble, not the proud, who finds favor with God (James 4:6).
Pride is about the mentality that puts oneself above others. It's all about "number one" as they say. That isn't the Christian way. In fact, we're told just the opposite. We're told in Philippians 2:3: "Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility consider one another as more important than yourselves."
I like how Thomas Watson put it: “Pride is a spiritual drunkenness; it flies up like wine into the brain and intoxicates it. Pride is idolatry; a proud man is a self-worshipper.”
The mindset of a Christian is to let go of pride and ambition; humbly serve each other.
The world tries to sell pride as something good and to be celebrated, but it isn't. Just as we’ve read how it happened with the devil, pride will lead to your destruction. Pride only leads to a fall from grace.
Let go of your pride and humbly submit yourself to Jesus Christ and follow His Word.
