Please keep my fellow Coloradans in your prayers. Thousands lost their homes yesterday in fires. Should be getting some snow in a few hours, which should help.

@tanjaostman that look Awesome
@daniel thankfully not just Rotherham
Once other local councils realised how much money they could also save, many did this
It does look pretty though
PRAYER: there is 13,000000 people under 100% lockdown in one city in China. They are not allowed to come outside of their home. At all. Period. Or risk 10 days in jail and a fine.
Please pray for food to get to them all as the gov seems a little SLOW in meeting this need! And please pray for the elderly people as this scared them. They watched millions of people starve back in their younger days. Their friends. They’re family. Etc.
A couple other cities are also locking down in various degrees.
No Covid before Olympics is the cry of China!
There is 1300 cases in Xi’an.
@Cherishingsparrows2020 absolutely 🙂
@Cherishingsparrows2020 we've been doing the same thing for years - slowly getting closer to Jesus, and that changes us
Marriage Matters, Don't Awaken Love Before It's Time, S1, E4
Andy B and Jo jump right in with Song of Songs, the book in the bible all about marriage. And in this book, we are warned more than once – ‘Do not awaken love before it’s time’.
This is a gentle way of telling us about intimacy in relationships and the best time to awake this kind of love is when we are married.
#RealTalk
Andy and Jo take a look at Song of Songs. This is God’s instruction on all things marriage, dating and sex. They talk through the effects of erotic literature, pornography and nudity on TV, and whether this is something that is good or bad for us.

@sinbach 😂
@sinbach it's a virus. it'll do what it does until it is done doing it
the idea we can control it, is simply farcical
@Olamide wasn't this voted best unexpected film ending in a US poll a number of years ago?
Pretty sure it was a real poll too ...
The 4th episode of our Marriage Matters Podcast is out this afternoon, from 4pm: "Don't awake love before it's time".
It was recorded at the end of October, and we think it's a good one on a hot topic...but, like in life, sometimes our best laid plans go to the wall!
The challenge is to keep going and do what we can when we can.
God isn't looking for a happy marriage. But He is looking for how we do marriage; how we do life with our spouse. We can't control them, or be responsible for them, anymore than they are for us. But we are responsible, before God, for how we treat them and love them.
Happy Thursday peoples

@Mtranchgirl praying for peace for you and wisdom for the doctors caring for you
URGENT PRAYER - please pray for me and my sister -we both have severe covid pneumonia and have very low oxygen levels - we need a miracle from God to be healed. I am in the hospital and they keep trying to give me remdesevir and want to put me on a ventilator. I'm so very scared - please pray for me. my sister is being treated at home - she found a Dr that will prescribe ivermectin - we are waiting for it to arrive. we both truly need a miracle.
@MaryMamuzich @Olamide @bethany i don't disagree with you there Mary
@MaryMamuzich @Olamide @bethany the devil loves us getting distracted...
@Olamide @bethany @MaryMamuzich
There's ministry and there's ministers, although lead elder would be closer to the biblical position
I'm with Bethany there - on the matter of the word used
But I take the literal biblical view on the idea of ministers and preachers
At secondary school I forced myself to think that women could be ministers. But the more I read scripture, and I've met many women vicars over the years, the more I believe that what scripture teaches is what we're supposed to go with
Any argument for women to be preachers/ministers that I've read is always so very complicated and long: I get lost trying to understand the argument of the person writing it
It isn't a popular view I'm sure, but while I'm deeply passionate about ministry being something we should all do, I also believe God set aside certain people for certain functions
If we place value on those functions we'll easily get into arguments.
