The moment you try to make the Bible relevent you've missed the point. The Bible is totally relevent for a broken world, it just needs simplifying and explaining to those less familiar with it.

Don't think a criminal in prison is any closer to hell than a hypocrite preaching at the front of church. Which is worse: to think you're good with God, when you're not, or to know you're not good with God?

We can't convert people over to Christ. All we can do is scatter those seeds. The rest is between them and God so that we can't take credit or boast.

Jesus risked a lot for you. Whether you would receive his forgiveness or not, he gave his life. He would've done it even if you were the only person needing forgiveness. So don't be afraid of taking risks for him.
Most of my role models went to prison: Jesus, Paul, Joseph, Daniel, Peter and John.
"Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves."
Philippians 2:3 NLT
"Wrong is wrong even if everybody is doing it. Right is right even if no one is doing it."

What does it benefit anyone if you have sound theology but don't show the love Christ showed you?

On Friday I ran my longest ever run: 16km (10 miles) in 1hr 26 mins, today I ran a similar distance but a little slower.
"Let us run with endurance the race that lies before us."
Hebrews 12:1 CSB
Saw this earlier and I agree...
"When the time comes I 100% support mandatory vacations for everyone. If anyone refuses they should be FORCED."

Survival tip:
If you get lost in the woods, start talking about politics and someone will show up to argue with you.

Guys I can't give any details and I will not be posting this information on any other forum, but this week is really important to us at BTJ. we have Chinese pastors that have traveled to be together for the first time since the pandemic started last year. It is amazing to be with them and in prayer with them, but we need to plan the best way to support the church in China for this year. We do not want our own ideas, agendas, and thoughts to pollute what God has for us. Please pray for the leading and the guiding of the Holy Spirit during this time.
The Bible is like a manual. So just like any other manual there is only so much you can learn from simply reading it. You gotta live it out.

On the one hand we need to take a stand and fight what's wrong. But on the other hand there are only so many battles that each of us can fight. Choose wisely which battles are yours to fight and which are not.

Thinking of answered prayers reminds me of old fashioned phone switchboards you dialed to call folks, but wouldn’t be able to connect until the switchboard operator put you through. Our prayers have the quickest switchboard operator in the business, the Holy Spirit!
Those tough patches in your life will either make or break you. So if you're still standing, smile. You got this.
When weight training you shouldn't just work the muscles that look good at the beach, each muscle should be worked equally.
So it it with the faith, you shouldn't just improve the areas of your life that look good in church. You should work every part of it: faith, peace, joy, love, individual giftings and callings etc.
