The Gospel invitation is to come to Christ and believe into Christ, enter and find rest in union of your spirit and His. Atonement, being at one with God in Christ, is an open door in the blood of Christ entered by faith.
How great & glorious is the grace of God in Christ to us!
It's been 14 good years on Twitter, posting about the spiritual journey, but based on changes for non-subscribers (see the next post) there's more reason to leave than stay.
It's been a pleasure meeting so many good people thru the things they shared. Thank you, and God bless!
Elon Musk has the right to do what he wants with Twitter, but this will change both its nature and character. The pay-to-play version of the Public Square is no longer the public square.

I don't get a lotta hits on most of my posts so I'm not complaining, but some posts did, and the new Twitter policy that buries posts and takes that possibility away also makes the point of posting meaningless.

"Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket; they are considered a speck of dust on the scales...
All the nations are as nothing before Him; He regards them as nothingness and emptiness."
Isaiah 40
The Church is here - we are here - to be a testimony that Christ is Lord.

“We weep but not like those without hope. We know that in Christ we are secure. Attacks such as this have happened before in our country, and each time the kingdom of God has grown. Eventually, nothing can stop the growth of the church.”

Great quote about the church and politics, a reminder that it's not merely a division of church and state, but the separation of the body of Christ and this world.
There's a living testimony of Christ in brothers and sisters who not only endure persecution but are overcomers thru it, what it is to be in the world, not of it. Their lives can change your's, they did for me.
Knowing the stories of Christians who have gone before us and endured persecution strengthens our faith and resolve. Take time to read about and remember them today.
Truth is always at stake in elections, but I expected Truth to be a more explicit issue this election.
Then again, doesn't it seem that today truth is merely personal, what's preferred, and what's counted as facts are those things, true or not, that support one's viewpoint?
Dargins are one of the largest ethnic groups in Dagestan in Russia. Because of persecution, many had fled to Ukraine before the war. There are no known Christians among the Dargins, pray for their safety and that some may hear and receive the gospel.
This is a really good thread. "Once saved, always saved" is a theological position. The Bible speaks of the reality of the Spirit present within, and "those now of Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires"...followers alive in Christ, bearing their own cross.
🧵 “Once saved always saved”
Was a phrase I used to pacify my own delusions for a long time and here’s why it can be dangerous. 👇🏼
When I was 7 I walked an aisle, prayed a prayer, and was baptized. From there on I falsely believed I was saved for many many years.

"In Christ and through faith in Him we may enter God’s presence with boldness and confidence."
Ephesians 3
The good news is that the reality of God's presence can be entered and known in Christ. And yet our hearts so often prefer to remain in the world.

Great song, chorus starts:
"This is amazing grace
This is unfailing love
That you would take my place
That you would bear my cross..."
Last line is bad theology. Jesus bore our punishment on his cross, but he didn't bear his so that we would avoid taking up our own...
