@jburcham777 @LiveDie4Jesus Hope you don’t mind me saying but thank you for adding this. Like all scripture people love to judge stuff out of context. When Paul wrote Ephesians he meant 5:22-28 to be understood as a whole. Husbands serve their wives just as Christ serves the Church. What a calling!
Aivazovsky is in my opinion one of the greatest maritime artists to have ever lived. It’s wonderful when he turned to scripture for inspiration.
“Lift up your staff, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, that the people of Israel may go through the sea on dry ground.” Exodus 14:16 ESV bible.com/bible/59/exo.1… twitter.com/aivazovski_art…
@StoneKamino @RedeemedRags I wish I had been around to witness that. 1969 was an amazing year. I was born nearly four years later.
My first major news memory was of The Falklands War (1982). It was a big event in the UK and the dad of one of the kids at my school was serving so we followed it closely.
@AndrewS76825037 @CSLCHSnMore Without Christ we are dead. In Christ we live eternally. The fool who denies God is dead in their trespasses. #HealthyFaithChat
It took half a lifetime, much too long and I wish I could have that time again and do it differently, but me too! #HealthyFaithChat twitter.com/JoshIdachaba/s…

@JesseDornfeld This thread seems to be trending and hit my timeline just before your post - synchronicity… twitter.com/LizSpinazola/s…
@JesseDornfeld I saw the tweet in question. Shocking TBH seeing someone literally holier than thou kicking someone they had no idea about on a day when they should have been walking in fellowship with them. Modern legalism.
@JesseDornfeld Pride.
Tracy Chapman - Baby Can I Hold You
Probably one of the deepest ‘pop’ songs of the last 40 years. Humans failing to communicate.
Lyrics > g.co/kgs/2B4VeQ
Beautiful simplicity. Dreadfully sad. One of the most moving songs, for me.

Tracy Chapman - Fast Car youtu.be/DwrHwZyFN7M
Cool, but… The Bible wasn’t written in English and the Chapters and Verses were added around 1560AD, so this curiosity could’ve been planned or contrived, but definitely not inspired. m.youtube.com/shorts/hnjzg9C…
@JesseDornfeld @wordnuvola That looks pretty sound!
I do like Joe Kirby’s stuff, but he’s been doing a lot of End Times stuff recently. Still an enjoyable and thought provoking watch.

@virginia_garret I think there is a parallel the ideas between joy in the Spirit vs joy in terms of how we commonly perceive it in modern society - and love in the Spirit, versus love in the modern sense… 🤔
@virginia_garret @men_like_trees and I are working through MLJs Sermons on the Mount collection. He may have more lucid thoughts on the point of frivolous cheer!
@virginia_garret ML Jones seems to feel that Christians are entirely too joyous in a superficial way - that we project an upbeat character when we should be more sober. I’m not far enough through his analysis to fully appreciate this - it feels a little overzealous on first understanding.
@virginia_garret Dr ML Jones points out that the old body needs to be emptied before it can be filled with the Holy Spirit. That is why they are first.
@virginia_garret It’s absolutely no coincidence that the first two of the Beatitudes relate to those harder things, that modern Christians tend to shun: ““Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” Matthew 5:3-4
This is really good. I’m currently undecided on the continuing gifts of the Spirit, but I was really encouraged by Jesse’s kindness and his example of really walking with the Cross! twitter.com/JesseDornfeld/…
