@BibleBashed See also Job 38:21. God using sarcasm, at least as far as our English translations are concerned (ESV).
Revelation 3:1-3
To the Church in Sardis.
Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die… If you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come against you.

@BibleBashed I voted 1. Unwanted and undeserved sarcasm is belittling and it is for the husband to avoid stumbling blocks that come between him and modelling proper Headship. That said, sarcasm is not in itself a sin. It can be a shared form of communication and humour in a relationshipβ¦
@JesseDornfeld It sounds like it’s working π After a few weeks the smell and taste of cigarettes will be much less appealing. And you’ll be able to taste things better too!

@Ben64319554 Fantastic.
@Vicar0fChrist @OnTongues He’d hate hearing someone say this, but his whole series on the Sermon on the Mount is just amazing. Really opened my eyes to how deep the Beatitudes go.
@leiterbc731 @JesseDornfeld I can speak from experience when I say that there is sometimes something of a wedge that can keep the message of God’s love and God’s word from an unbeliever, regardless of the personal relationship, closeness and trust between them and a witness. The wedge can be fear, theβ¦
@Vicar0fChrist @OnTongues Martyn Lloyd-Jones said similar his Observations on the Sermon on the Mount (Chapter 4: Blessed are the Poor in Spirit). He perhaps gets to the nub of the issue. t.co/7gVX3vBId… 
@OnTongues A believing bride is very special. Is this a wish or a blessing for you right now?
I liked this bit in particular -
She calls me rabbi, but she’s the one teachin' what Jesus can do with a fool like me.
Revelation 2:24-27
To the Church in Thyatira.

A10. He found me in the darkness and bought me up to the surface two years ago, age 48. Christ found me. His word spoke to me, His Spirit changed me. And He is making my paths straight.

@khutch0767 @KevinObie1 @CSLCHSnMore I don’t see el Capitan about today, so you are safe π#HealthyFaithChat
@bisbanowrites A7 Yes. I can truly say that God deserves praise all the time. Even when I don’t know His plan. Sometimes all we can do is ask why. To understand, not to rebuke. The Lord will salve our spirits when we speak to him with honest hearts. #HealthyFaithChat
@KevinObie1 @bisbanowrites A6b. I chose not to answer God’s presence, but I agree in a metaphorical sense that was true. I say that because Jonah was a long way away from Jerusalem, and there was a perception that God resided in the temple. Hence J’s hope in the temple was more abstract #HealthyFaithChat
@KevinObie1 @bisbanowrites You got me. #HealthyFaithChat
@naenaenuss Yes! #HealthyFaithChat
@bisbanowrites A6. Obedience. Sacrifice. Redemption. Home.

@bisbanowrites A5. His focus turns fully to the Lord. He recognises that he has no claim on his own salvation - it is all down to God, as we have no claim on our own salvation, which is paid for by Christ. Hallelujah! #HealthyFaithChat
@bisbanowrites A4. He was definitely dying. βI went down to the land whose bars closed upon me foreverβ. It was only God who raised him. The parallel with Christβs death and resurrection is incomplete without Jonahβs death.
#HealthyFaithChat
@bisbanowrites A3 Is he acknowledging something about himself? I think he is recognising the unique truth of God’s steadfast love. He compares this with the futility of idols and other gods. I don’t remember Jonah actively turning to idols though. #HealthyFaithChat
@bisbanowrites A2. At this point, his pain was in his circumstances. Jonah had yet to accept his mission, and reconcile with God. He seems more sorry for himself than anything. It was only when he felt his life ebbing away that he remembered the Lord. #HealthyFaithChat
@PilgrimIntoWord @bisbanowrites We are all mere sojourners in this world #HealthyFaithChat
