@Knittinggrace totally right. This world gets sicker by the day.
But: the sicker the world, the easier to focus on things eternal! I hope you get wisdom in how to proceed further!

@MaryMamuzich @sinbach Prayer is probably the most underrated activity ever...

@sinbach I read: "annual vaccinations"...

@tanjaostman it is indeed!

@Knittinggrace two years ago, your doctor was the only person allowed to check your health...

@TakeN the contrast? :)

@Toolman well, I'm honestly amazed. I didn't expect that answer, but I'm glad you gave it. 🙂

@Toolman I mean, to live by emotions is a deeply humane problem. Some people have none, some live by it.
Jesus never lived by emotions, He was led by the Spirit (which is so deeply foreign to US/ME), so, although I cried several times out of joy when I first saw it I later discovered that this (wrong) focus was intended and misleading...

@Toolman yes, I find the movies deceptive in their emotionalism and how they portrait Jesus.
When I read the word, it's hard for me now to get his image out of my head which I feel is so unreal. (Too old, long hair, soothing smile, joking around etc.)

@Toolman yes. I mentioned my reason briefly in the second paragraph. But I'm no native english-speaker, so, if I made a mistake and/or you don't understand me I'm happy to explain.
I just don't have much time left for today, might be tomorrow then...

@Cherishingsparrows2020 I have some free time now and will pray for you/and your daughter!

@Toolman
I watched it too and liked it at first.

Now: read your Bible and try NOT to think of Jesus as a 42 year old long haired man joking around with an hypnotic smile ...

@RebeckaB hi there, relaxing my aching bones :)

@mariapombo it seems like it gets harder every day do to exactly that: worship God - by a lifestyle that pleases Him and not our sinful old self...

@Knittinggrace I couldn't sleep when I found this short conversation. It was just the thing I needed to get my focus back to the truth...
God bless you!!!

Encouraging when things don't go the way you think they should...

@Fisherman @xixiangdong @KarlGessler DD is not meant for in-depth-discussions I guess, and that's okay. It would be too much for the casual "let's check news" kinda guy.

And since I use it on my phone it wouldn't make much sense anyways. Too much typing.

Some place to go deeper would be great, but I have no real idea how it should look like... Something old-fashioned like newsgroups? Or just a button: send email?

Good morning everyone!
As Jesus died, He took my sin and was punished for it. At the same time, His righteousness was imputed unto me. #justification (past)

But He rose again and prepared a way for us to walk. This world doesn't know this way. It's the way of Christians following Christ, #holiness or #sanctification, dying to self (present).

He also secured our eternity. One day, this body of sin will be put off and the fight over. #HaleluJah! #glorification
