@sinbach you started it

@sinbach my job here is done folks.

@sinbach mean 😭

@sinbach ...that just ruined my day. Satisfied? You happy now?

@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

@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
