I needed this today after having a tough gender identity debate yesterday with family. I am made out to look like the crazy one because I know God’s Truth and don’t spin things the way the world is spinning it. This was perfect timing for this. Thank you!

Stay strong in the Lord. I am familiar with the feeling as someone who has a sibling that is proud to be a “woke” Christian.

If you're having a debate about it it means they are open to the truth. If they don't want to argue - they are closed off to the truth. Thank God they are at least arguing with you. They are making you look crazy as a test. Let them. It's how you deal with them in the future that will cement your righteous viewpoint. Remember - just showing up and being yourself without pushing the issue is the opportunity for the Holy Spirit to do the work. It's not about you or them. Don't make it that way. Let the Holy Spirit do what it does best. You're not perfect and neither are they. But the Holy Spirit is. Get out of the way of perfection.

Amen, it’s too easy to forget that all God truly wants from us is love and thanks. We can honor him with every breath.

It's not our own! It's all his, ❤ ..our own truth can be distorted, misunderstood, unbelieved, slandered, piled on negatively for the fame of others or ill gotten gain by unethical abusive people. But when we know who we are and have proof of his love and have to make hard choices, he gives us patience to wait. Love these messages

Yesterday, My sister and I encountered and talking for an hours with a two older ladies who are a member of Jehova Witnesses. I hope, trust and pray that the truth we told about the Lorship and Supremacy of Jesus Christ to them will not return to him void. After talking to them, there's a joy in my heart that I can't contain, foremost that experience remind me these faithful preachers and made me asked this question, if I an ordinary lady needs to digged in the bible to show to unbelievers the truth about the truth of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ then How much more these men who went to reach the end to end of this earth to proclaimed the unadulterated Gospel of Christ? Glory, Glory, Glory to GOD Alone!

Matthew 1:18-25 ( The Birth of Jesus Christ(😊1st❤)) "18 This is how the birth of Jesus Christ( 😊1st❤) came about: His mother Mary😊 was pledged to be married to Joseph😊 , but before they came together, she was found to be with child( Jesus😊1st❤) through the Holy Spirit(😊❤) . 19 Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. 20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, " Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit(😊❤). 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus( 😊1st❤ ) because he( Jesus😊1st❤) will save his people from their sins." "( Matthew 1:18-21 what does the name " Jesus" mean? " the meaning is more specifically explained in the rest of the verse."( ESV ) Jesus(😊1st❤) is the Christ( Messiah) the Lord( Jesus😊1st❤) and Jesus is "... Immanuel "- which means , " God with us."( Matthew 1:23b Zondervan NIV Study Bible) and he(Jesus😊1st❤) will save his people from ( from what?) Sins. ( that is right from sins. Now the word, " save" lead us to openning Luke 2:11 " 11 Today in the town of David a savior(Jesus😊1st❤) has been born to you; he ( Jesus😊1st❤) is the Christ( Messiah) the Lord( Jesus😊1st❤). "( Luke 2:11 Zondervan NIV Study Bible) Resume back to Matthew 1:22-25 "22 All this book took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophets: 23 " The virgin will be with child(Jesus😊1st❤) and will give birth to a son, and they will call him( Jesus😊1st❤) Immanuel"- which means, "God(😊100%❤ with us."( Matthew 1:18-23 Zondervan NIV Study Bible) Now for a wrap in Matthew 1:24-25 "24 When Joseph😊 woke up, he did what the angel(😊) of the Lord(😊❤) had commanded him and took Mary(😊) home as his wife. 25 But he( Joseph 😊)had no union with her ( Mary😊) until she gave birth to a son( Jesus😊1st❤). And he( Joseph😊) him( Jesus😊1st❤) the name Jesus(Jesus😊1st❤)."( Matthew 1:24-25 Zondervan NIV Study Bible)

“Christians communicate a falsehood to unbelievers when we act as if policies and laws that protect life and freedom are more precious than being a certain kind of person”? Piper’s way of saying Trump-disdain is more important than life itself. (From 10-22-2020)

Anything that's more important than life is in the Bible, try using actual biblical references if you are going to claim something so large.

@@user-xq2bm3nq8y Boy you are presumptuous, I'm not for either as the plan is already set in place who will win, they are bought and paid for. Money is definitely the root. Anyways later I will attempt to find this article you speak of but you are a regular on here, using your time each morning to show us all how much you do not like him, I think leading others back to biblical principles through scriptures is much more useful.

The trouble is, Mr Piper, you have manipulated and reinterpreted scripture to say what you want it to say. God won't be mocked or misrepresented. May you be blessed with revelation.
