'The Christian church sings...from inner necessity it sings. It's the highest form of expression...the church which doesn't sing isn't the church. Where it doesn't really sing but sighs & mumbles it is only a troubled community which is not sure of its cause.'

-Karl Barth

I wouldn't worry too much about kids missing a year of school.

My generation never missed even a month of school and look how badly we've screwed things up.

A life devoted to consumption consumes life.

Instead of saying ‘I don’t have time to pray’, say ‘It’s not a priority’.

At least then we’re being honest.

I've tested positive for being easily distracted.

Prayers appreciated.

@sinbach Good episode

If your prayer is to have the heart of a lion, don’t fear. It's not unobtainable.

(Though it may involve a lifetime ban from the city zoo.)

@AuthorMMM Thanks for the recommendation 👍🏼

When the issues of this broken and fading world crush your spirit, gaze across the river into that land of laughter where Christ is. Though we’ve never been there, that is our true and forever home.

It'll be worth the wait.

I didn’t become Christian because I needed an ethical system. Confucius, Mohammed, or the Buddha could’ve given me that.

Rather, Jesus rescued me in my psychotic frailty and ignorance.

To be a Christian, one must first be a loser.

@Lindseyay Yes, I know of it. It has a good reputation.

@Lindseyay
Good to be here.
I live south of Cambridge, just outside Royston.

It costs us much to chase after what is cheap.

Oatmilk? Soya? When you could drink the life-blood and bone broth of lesser sentient beings?!
