@EhzNow I turn 50 this month. There’s no way I feel any older than 30. Only the grey in my beard gives the years away.
I’m finding Isaiah intensely rewarding at a pace of 2-3 chapters a day. Read alongside a couple of commentaries there is a lot below the surface. It is nice to go through highlighting passages and making connections, for these to be vindicated upon background reading.

@men_like_trees @bisbanowrites When you think about it like that the term ‘jealous’ becomes far clearer.
Genesis 11:4–5 Man said let’s make a name for ourselves, and build a tower which will reach into Heaven. Then God came down to see the city, and the tower, which the sons of men had built…

@bisbanowrites A10. Get back to the word. Ask forgiveness. Pray. Focus. #HealthyFaithChat
@bisbanowrites A9. I didn’t even realise what I was doing at the time. I have often sought refuge in obsessive focus on the things of man to the exclusion of time with God. I did for the first 48 years of my life. Politics and music collection were my principle idols. #HealthyFaithChat
@bisbanowrites A8. There is no other God. He knows how easily hoodwinked we are, and how gladly we will seek to rely upon our own means to truth. #HealthyFaithChat

@PilgrimIntoWord @bisbanowrites Yes, yes, yes. Perfectly put. #HealthyFaithChat
@bisbanowrites A6. We strive to obey God’s commandments because they are His, and as our Father, he deserves and demands our loyalty and respect. Jesus expected us to observe the 10 Commandments, and died in our place. Wilfully transgressing is an offence to His gift of grace.

@johngacinski @bisbanowrites One of the most shocking moments of the OT is when Moses comes back down from Sinai (the first time) to find Aaron has already made a golden calf. I mean Moses had only been gone 40 days, and Aaron must’ve known he was likely coming back with something big. #HealthyFaithChat
@AndrewS76825037 @CSLCHSnMore I can hear you! #HealthyFaithChat
@CSLCHSnMore No singing. No loud noises, and definitely no drums. #HealthyFaithChat
@bisbanowrites A5. Our Love for God should be complete, continuous, unceasing. If this is the case then there can be no room or moment available for any other. #HealthyFaithChat
@bisbanowrites A4. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. Matthew 22:37 #HealthyFaithChat
@bisbanowrites A3. He was ‘jealous’ – though we should be clear that God’s jealousy is not for something He wants unrighteously, as ours might be. God as our one and true creator rightly deserves our love and praise. These false Gods can make no such claim. #HealthyFaithChat
@bisbanowrites Genesis 38:21-22 for example. #HealthyFaithChat
@bisbanowrites A2. The other Gods, their handmade Gods, let them do whatever they liked. In fact they allowed them to revel in their sin (the Pagan Gods who had prostitutes at their Temples for example). #HealthyFaithChat
@bisbanowrites A1. Moloch was the worst, and he’s making a comeback ☹️#HealthyFaithChat
@CSLCHSnMore Hi eveyone. Nick here. Being from the old country, I have no idea what a ‘Huffy’ or a ‘Stingray’ was. But I had a wooden Go-Kart my dad made, which was fab! #HealthyFaithChat
Ezra 9:6 I am ashamed to lift my face to you, my God, for our iniquities have risen higher than our heads, and our guilt has mounted up to the heavens.

Acts 9:17 Having shown Saul how much he must suffer in God’s name, The Lord Jesus sends Ananias to open his eyes, and bring upon him the Holy Spirit.

@virginia_garret My wife had really bad problems with one of her her hands (her dominant hand) and it turned out to be her carpal nerve. Wearing a brace sorted it and she’s back to ok now. Numbness, pain, coldness etc.
Matthew 9:5–7 Which is easier? To say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?
