@Olamide Happy New Year!!! 🥳
@MaryMamuzich SUCH a great book. You'd love it, I'm sure
This has been on my bookshelf for a while, but I'm SO glad I chose to end out the year with this book.
"What is it like for a Christian woman living where it is illegal to live openly for Christ? How does a wife and mother respond when her husband is arrested, imprisoned or killed?
Undoubtedly the most significant book written about one of the most important aspects of the persecuted church: the victorious women. Without them the church has no future."
@sinbach these dad jokes are getting out of hand... I'm halfway to organising an intervention

Watch and be encouraged. This testimony is powerful.
@sinbach I'm sure that's probably true. That's why we call them 'comfort movies', right?
@sinbach wow am I that transparent? How did you know
@sinbach it's tempting. Really, it is. But I'll be needing them for New Year's. Sorry to disappoint
@Olamide @Berrybunchfamily @MaryMamuzich it's incredibly sad when things like this divide the church. To what end? I can't see that it brings glory to God in any way. I'm sorry you lost those people. I hope in time they will come around and be open to having a respectful conversation with you
@Olamide @Berrybunchfamily @MaryMamuzich to be honest I'm not familiar enough with either side of those arguments to say my thoughts on them.
I will say that I think 'ministry' is an odd word and I'm not sure how useful it is in the grand scheme of things. Are women called to serve God? Yes. Can that look a hundred different ways? Also yes. I'm not sure it's any more complicated than that
@sinbach bet they're not as comfortable as mine. No other NYE attire is acceptable
@Jorge this is heartbreaking

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ.. and friends.. let us celebrate together in heart the joy first shared by the angels after Jesus the Messiah’s birth in Bethlehem, at the acceptable time! Let us always marvel that “God so loved the world (every person) that he gave his only begotten Son” ! We live in a world that is destroying itself with sin.. anger, violence, addictions, selfishness and hate as never before! Causing mass migrations of people desperate for hope! There is only one hope .. that is believing in Jesus the Christ (Nazarene) not religions, doing good, winning our political or religious dominance or national dominance! Thank you Lord God for sending your Son to be born in Bethlehem!!!

The people walking in darkness
will see a great light.
Upon those dwelling in the land
of the shadow of death,
light will shine!
You will multiply the nation.
You will increase the joy . . .
For to us a child is born,
a son will be given to us,
and the government will be
upon His shoulder.
His Name will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God
My Father of Eternity,
Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of His government and shalom there will be no end—on the throne of David and over His kingdom—to establish it and uphold it through justice and righteousness
from now until forevermore.
Isaiah 9:1-6 TLV
