If she would be found guilty of charges, that would practically mean that the Bible would be banned in Finland, at least in some parts. You wouldn't be able to stand for God words about how sexuality was created only for a man and a woman in marriage. That would be hate speech and forbidden.

Päivi Räsänen, a Finnish MP, is accused of hate speech and on next Monday, the 24th, she's called to be in court. She made a tweet about how homosexuality is a sin according to the Bible as she criticized the lutheran church for taking part in a pride-festival. You can read more about it here:

As you spy out the promised land before you and the so-called 'giants' what do you see in 2022? Read Numbers 13-14. Promised land or wilderness? Faith or fear, doubt and unbelief? Joshua spent much time in the Tabernacle and then was called to lead!

"We're blind to the fact that we have an obligation to five billion people in the world. This generation of Christians is responsible for this generation of lost souls".

"But if the Spirit that raised up Jesus from the dead
dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead
shall also quicken your mortal
bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you". (Rom.8:11)
"Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God." (Mat. 22:29).
Here Jesus was correcting the sadukees who didn't believe in resurrection from the death.
I'm thinking, how much have we as church gone wrong in a similar way today? Do we have faith in the real Jesus (who is Son of God, yet a man) and who is powerful in everything concerning our lives? Do we understand (and truly believe/act on it!) that the same power that raised up Jesus from the grave, now dwells in us? Are these signs following us (Mark.16:17-18)?
Do we know what the Bible says and read it by ourselves? Or do we trust that our pastor knows the best so that we don't need to read or understand it ourselves? Do we lean on tradition more than on God's word?
We need them both: the Power (Gods Holy Spirit) and the scripture (the Bible), so that we won't go astray.
God help us! 🙏

“Who is this?” they said to each other. “Even the wind and the sea do what He says!” (Mark 4:41).
Do we know this Jesus? Does this storm-calming Jesus disappear when we close our Bibles?
At times, I think I expect much more from my wife than I do from Jesus. But my wife can’t command storms and seas....
We expect far too little from Jesus.
We need to reconcile our creeds with our attitudes, decisions, and general approach to life.
A Jesus of theory or story hour is a sentimental comfort. The real Jesus commands the wind and seas and is a force to be reckoned with.

Jesus called the twelve, and began to send them out in pairs, giving them authority over unclean spirits. Mark 6:7
How do you imagine this exchange took place?
How did the disciples “receive”
authority?
Did Jesus hand them a badge or give then papers with proof authorization?
How did authority come to rest on the disciples?
I think that the only logical answer is that it came through the mere words of Jesus. The statement “I grant you authority” from someone who possess authority must be enough.
The Gospels state that Jesus granted His disciples authority for healing sickness and casting our demons several times. Why? Because disciples for generations to come would need to know that they are granted authority for doing the works of Jesus.
I am a disciple.
I have authority.
Jesus said so.
It’s that simple.

I love this teaching about the Fear of the Lord, and what it truly means. I don't hear it in many churches nowadays, but it's just something I desire to have more of! This is the Father I love ❤🙏

“The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, heaven without hell.”
A really good question.
