@virginia_garret I’m sure there is something here about speaking things into existence, as God did in Genesis 1. The fruits of man’s mouth can be both good and bad. The ‘violence’ as the end of the verse is sin. #HealthyFaithChat
@lifeinoverflow @virginia_garret That is a very good point.
@ambaptized @virginia_garret We need to be careful of platitudes. Sincerity and empathy are essential. #HealthyFaithChat
@campbosco @virginia_garret Is the ‘good word’ a reference to God’s Word? I think it’s broader than that in this context. #HealthyFaithChat
@EllieR @virginia_garret It embodies Fellowship. #HealthyFaithChat
@virginia_garret A problem shared is a problem halved #HealthyFaithChat
@lifeinoverflow @virginia_garret That is very true. Small matters can overwhelm and we lose sight of what is important. #HealthyFaithChat
@virginia_garret Apprehension and anxiety can paralyse a person. People will often say they feel like a husk, and that’s a good summation! The brain-fog it induces can be blown away by friendly counsel, encouragement, or a good word. #HealthyFaithChat
@men_like_trees @virginia_garret I always enjoy your contributions.
@GuidingWord @virginia_garret UK here!
@men_like_trees The most profound overarching thing for me so far is how fresh and current MLJ’s concerns were / are. He had his finger on exactly the issues obsessing us in the early 21st century, a half-century before. Amazing.
@men_like_trees I must admit that I am finding it so rich with thoughtful and profound commentary that pulling points feels like it’s falling into some of the traps MLJ highlights! I’ve just started Chapter 5 but plan on listening to 3 and 4 again. #MLJbeatitudes
@EhzNow So many things about the ‘scientific’ world view need more faith than Genesis and The Gospels. It staggers me that more people don’t get this.

There seems to be a trend for sharing Lock Screen / Last Playing pics. I’m not sure if mine counts for cool. t.co/M7YnUlxuX… 
I am not a Calvinist, and that’s too complicated to cover here but I am going through John MacArthur’s 1991 sermons on Revelation for a deeper understanding of what is going on in that book! He’s very thorough. gty.org/library/sermon…
@shemaiahng @derekhiebert This doesn’t mean we just sit back and let Him get on with it though - “in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,” 1 Peter 3:15
Woah! I need to reflect on this. twitter.com/shemaiahng/sta…
Proverbs 9:8 Don’t feed the trolls. #BibleStudy bible.com/bible/59/pro.9… t.co/tlhWYUj2f… 
@JesseDornfeld I must admit it’s nice to feel like I’m being heard and a following really helps with that, but “whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”
Don’t value yourself by man’s approval - men are fickle, God is constant 😀👍🏻

How much have you sold your soul for ‘Athiest Dad’? Must be wierd to feel so strongly that there is no God that you’ll make it a hobby to troll people who do believe.
@Carpet16100850 @MikeWingerii I listen to a lot of Mike’s stuff on Spotify. Good for the car or just on headphones. Only thing is I have to keep stopping, rewinding and listening again about half a dozen times because his stuff really does need concentrating on sometimes!
@Carpet16100850 @MikeWingerii I tried, but I couldn’t put it better myself! His stuff is great. I love how deep he goes and he is so careful to present all the angles and so respectful to other Biblical viewpoints, that I can have confidence I’m not being fed a line! His Jesus in the Old Testament is amazing.
But… but… my evening… 😭😭😭

@CreatedforaPur1 @Carpet16100850 One of the most interesting chapters in the NT, for the admission of ‘sharp disagreement’ between Paul and Barnabus. It’s clear they agreed to disagree on what was a secondary issue. But I’m sure there’s a deeper lesson there too.
