‭John 3:16-18 AMP‬

[16] “For God so [greatly] loved and dearly prized the world, that He [even] gave His [One and] only begotten Son, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish, but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send the Son into the world to judge and condemn the world [that is, to initiate the final judgment of the world], but that the world might be saved through Him. [18] Whoever believes and has decided to trust in Him [as personal Savior and Lord] is not judged [for this one, there is no judgment, no rejection, no condemnation]; but the one who does not believe [and has decided to reject Him as personal Savior and Lord] is judged already [that one has been convicted and sentenced], because he has not believed and trusted in the name of the [One and] only begotten Son of God [the One who is truly unique, the only One of His kind, the One who alone can save him].

When everything is going well, we praise His name, but can we continue to praise Him when everything goes from bad to worse? We must remember Ecclesiastes 7:14 which tells us, “In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity, consider: God has made the one as well as the other.” Whether your days are good or bad, both have been ordained by God. He is sovereign over all aspects of your life. Everyone wants blessings in the form of wealth, health, and everything that will bring comfort to them in life. Scripture, however, paints a very different way of how God will generally bless us. We are told that we’ll be blessed through tribulations (Romans 5:3-5), and these blessings can even be via dangerous, uncomfortable, and life-threatening situations (2 Corinthians 11:24-29). Strength in faith comes through hardships (2 Corinthians 12:7-10). We are told we must “take up [our] cross daily and follow [Christ]” (Luke 9:23-24). Taking on a cross, back when this was written, had a profound impact on its hearers. The Romans forced the criminals to carry on the beam (where the upper part of the body would be nailed) to the location where they’d be killed, and it wasn’t easy—both mentally and physically. You had to carry these past people who would curse and mock you; they were heavy; and you knew you were carrying part of the instrument that would be used to kill you. Taking on your “cross daily” was understood to literally being called to die to self. Mortify your sins—daily. We must rely on Him at all times—whether they are good or bad times. We cannot do that unless we remain close to His Word. His Word must be used to guide our steps in life (Psalm 119:105).

Spiritual Gift of Miracles Described And Detailed

Spiritual Gift of Miracles Martin Luther believed in the spiritual gift of miracles, but he had a different understanding of it than some other theologians of his time. John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, believed in the spiritual gift of miracles as a sign of God’s power and presence in the world. In the Catholic Church, the spiritual gift of miracles is considered to be one of the…

The Kingdom of God Advances in Any Circumstances

Jesus said, that the Kingdom of God is in us. That is the Kingdom of Heaven is in us. If the Holy Spirit is in us, his Kingdom is in us too. No circumstance, can stop the Kingdom of God, advancing in our life. God’s Kingdom in us, has the ability and power, to overcome, any and every circumstance. Every attack of the enemy, can be demolished by the Kingdom of God in us, just as it is described…

AMPTP: It's so sad that WGA and SAG-AFTRA don't want to negotiate. But we must endure! *tortured sigh* 😩

Meanwhile:

#wga strike #wga strong #sag-aftra strike #sag-aftra strong #I'm sorry for the spamming everyone but the sheer bad faith and greed of the studios is just infuriating #the sheer disrespect they've shown #fran drescher #Duncan Crabtree-Ireland #Sean Astin

Your Spirit Guides and Angels will never let you down as you build a rapport with them. In the end, they may be the only ones who don't let you down.

Been thinking about the X-Files recently. A show I have a hazy, but fond memory of.

#the x files #x files #fox mulder #dana scully #poorly drawn x files #is this going to be a thing? maybe? #iirc: The x-files is about two FBI agents who are trying so hard to be professional and not fall in love. And everything is a conspiracy. #...It *has* been nearly a decade since I saw the x files. I think I'd have a hard time rewatching for a few reasons but I did enjoy it. #This was initially just a work doodle I wasn't going to clean up #but the amount of x-files fans that Ive seen about + Lazycranberryart's wangxian x-files art got my brain too fired up. #Mulderscully vibes are like: "I'm her silly rabbit. she doesn't call me that outloud. But I believe in my heart it's true.' #Its about having faith and trust in each other! They might not always agree either but they have each other's backs! #Scully is 100% the one that kills the spiders in the relationship. Mulder wants to rescue them but his ideals aren't strong enough #Girl Daddy and Baby Girl Boy. That's who they are to me.

deeply refreshing to see someone critical of Swift who also like, genuinely likes her. Like i'm neutral to positive on her, but the online discourse has been absolutely rancid. flipping between "Taylor Swift has never done anything wrong ever and she's a fucking genius" and "Taylor Swift is the worst lyricist of all time and also a bad person" is exhausting, so thank you for like. nuance or something lmao

not to make it serious for a sec but i genuinely think that being able to like things that are bad is really important. like I think that it's an important skill to be able to look at something and see what you personally enjoy about it and then take a step back and acknowledge that objectively it's flawed. and to also be able to acknowledge that liking something isn't necessarily an identity or a moral stance. and i think that fandom space in general could really benefit from more people taking the time to learn how to do that. it's okay to like things that are bad

#people ask me sometimes why ill occasionally talk about something i like and then go 'but it's bad' and the answer is usually because it is #i love teen wolf. i love genshin impact. i love detective conan. and i fucking LOVE taylor swift. that doesnt mean theyre good #it just means i like them. and recognizing their flaws actually helps me better identify what i like about them! #it's like. in my mind bad > good is the x axis and i like it > i dont like it is the y axis yk. they're not mutually exclusive #tldr it's not that serious. we can all relax a little #irt taylor swift i do also think she has done some real harm to her fans in enabling them to deflect all criticism of her as misogyny #and i don't think it's fully the fault of these people who are parroting that response bc so much of her marketing has deliberately #reinforced this idea that to be a swiftie is to be a part of a sisterhood and that any attack on taylor is an attack on all of those women #who are in that in-group. when that's obviously not the case. but she's marketed herself as. for lack of a better term. 'girl music' #to the point where it makes her fans feel as though any criticism of the music or the woman responsible for it is an attack on their #personal experience of womanhood/girlhood/sisterhood/etc. and that's how you get all of thess bad-faith accusations of misogyny #i don't necessarily think this was her deliberate goal with her marketing tho because like. on first glance such a strong sense of communit #among fans sounds like a great thing. the friendship bracelets i got at the eras tour movie are really genuinely special to me. #but it does present a problem when your fans are unable to separate how they feel about the community and experience your music has fostere #from how they feel about you as a person. especially when you are a billionaire who absolutely CANNOT be above criticism in this economy #anyway. tldr i love taylor's music and i don't think swiftie hivemind is as deliberately malicious as it may seem #but it's obviously necessary to be able to take a step back and look objectively at what you're participating in. #anyway stream ttpd or don't idc <3 #taylor swift

I find it so SO interesting that as soon as Kazui's breaking their marriage vows and revealing his true feelings (literally tearing apart the dove), the wife is already falling off the balcony

Her hair is fluttering in the wind. The apple fucking splatters on the ground this whole sequence is so visceral I'm spinning it around in my mind. Kazui views his truth telling as a violent act, the killing blow.

#milgram #capri talks #kazui mukuhara #Cat #I made a gif for this are you happy (I love this part way too much I would've made it anyway) #I have... thoughts about this which Scare me but. For now... I am going to assume in good faith that this must be taken figuratively and #symbolically because that's the most obvious interpretation right. right guys??? *one fear* #*looks at the voice drama which starts with how he's never gone up against a woman as strong as him until kotoko* #*looks at the line 'it’s generally the heavier person who ends up winning.'* #*looks at that one frame in Cat at 2:33 where he's holding her back* #DONT MIND ME IM JUST DELIBERATING I want him to be innocent I want things to be simple but I'm so worried of being hoodwinked-- #--when the guy literally emphasises sleight of hand tricks and magicians and disappearing acts in his MV :'D #when he literally has a 'son of man' painting reference (man w/apple in front of face) #I am going to stop talking or else I shall combust into a million pieces #analysis #described

July, 8 (Morning) Devotion

“Tell me I pray thee wherein thy great strength lieth.”

Judges 16:6

Where lies the secret strength of faith? It lies in the food it feeds on; for faith studies what the promise is—an emanation of divine grace, an overflowing of the great heart of God; and faith says, “My God could not have given this promise, except from love and grace; therefore it is quite certain his Word will be fulfilled.” Then faith thinketh, “Who gave this promise?” It considereth not so much its greatness, as, “Who is the author of it?” She remembers that it is God who cannot lie—God omnipotent, God immutable; and therefore concludeth that the promise must be fulfilled; and forward she advances in this firm conviction. She remembereth,why the promise was given,—namely, for God’s glory, and she feels perfectly sure that God’s glory is safe, that he will never stain his own escutcheon, nor mar the lustre of his own crown; and therefore the promise must and will stand. Then faith also considereth the amazing work of Christ as being a clear proof of the Father’s intention to fulfil his word. “He that spared not his own Son, but freely delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” Moreover faith looks back upon the past, for her battles have strengthened her, and her victories have given her courage. She remembers that God never has failed her; nay, that he never did once fail any of his children. She recollecteth times of great peril, when deliverance came; hours of awful need, when as her day her strength was found, and she cries, “No, I never will be led to think that he can change and leave his servant now. Hitherto the Lord hath helped me, and he will help me still.” Thus faith views each promise in its connection with the promise-giver, and, because she does so, can with assurance say, “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life!”
