The following passage of Scripture is from the Old Testament, and it was taught under the Old Covenant God had with his people Israel (Jews only at that time). But some of this is repeated for us under the New Covenant, and the rest of this passage we can learn from, as well. For, "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work." (2 Timothy 3:16-17 ESV) Amen!


And, Jesus Christ, when he was asked which was the great commandment in the law, said: “’You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.” (Matthew 22:37-40 NASB1995)

And Jesus continued to teach that if we love him, we will keep (obey) his commandments. We will keep (stick to) his word. For, those who do not keep (obey, adhere to) his words do not love Jesus/God. And he said that if we keep his commandments, we abide in his love. But if we do not obey his commandments, and if sin is what we practice, instead, we will not inherit eternal life with God. We will not be saved from our sins and be on our way to heaven if obedience to God is not our practice, and if sin is our practice.

[Matthew 7:13-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 8:51; John 14:15-24; John 15:10; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; 1 Peter 1:2; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-13; Hebrews 5:9; James 1:21-25; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:1-15; 1 John 3:1-24; 1 John 4:19-20; 1 John 5:2-3; 2 John 1:6]

Now, love for God is not in words only, or just in song. Love, which comes from God, for he is love, prefers what God prefers. And he prefers all that is holy, righteous, morally pure, upright, godly, faithful, honest, and obedient to his commands. And this love for God chooses his choices to obey them, too, in his power, wisdom, and strength. For if truly we love God with all our heart, mind, soul, and might (strength), we will be those whose lives are surrendered to the Lord, to doing his will, and to obeying his commands.

And if this is true of us, this should not be a private affair that is kept secret from everyone else. It should be obvious by the words that we speak, and by our attitudes, our actions, our behaviors, and by our life choices. And this is not saying that we will be absolutely perfect in all these areas at all times, but this should be how we live, in practice, by the grace of God. And it should be shown outwardly and not inwardly only, for we are to be our Lord’s witnesses throughout the earth, sharing the gospel with the people.

So, we should be living the truth of the gospel, in practice, by the grace of God, and then we should be teaching others the truth of the gospel. We should be teaching our children and grandchildren what it means to believe in Jesus and to live the life he has for us all to live, as his followers. But we must set the example before them, too. For words only mean nothing if they are not followed up with action, and in truth. But words are important, too. For we should be talking about Jesus with other people, in daily practice.

Now, as far as physical displays of faith go, we must be very careful that our outward displays, in the forms of signs and posts and photos and t-shirts with printed words on them, etc., are what we are living, in practice. I have seen some vehicles with “Christian” bumper stickers or pasted signs on their windshields, and then saw the drivers giving someone “the finger,” which is something bad, not good. And, again, I am not saying we will never fail, but that we should be living what we are professing, in daily practice, by habit.

Walking in The Light

When I lift up my voice, and
Sing praise unto God,
I will fellowship with my
Lord and Savior, King.
In Him there is no darkness.
He is in the light of truth.
If we walk in His light,
From sin He purifies.

If we repent of our sins,
He’ll forgive us now,
When we humble ourselves, and
Before Jesus bow.
The man who says, “I know Him,”
But does not obey His truth,
There is no truth in him.
In darkness still he’s found.

Do not love the world of sin,
For it is hell bound.
If you follow the world, you’ll
Not in Christ be found.
The world and its desires
Will not last; they’ll expire.
The one who does God’s will,
Receives eternal life.

See that what you have heard from
Christ remains in you.
Then, you’ll remain in Christ, and
In His Father, too.
This is what He promised us –
His eternal life with God.
So, continue in Him, and
You’ll receive a crown.

For @RileyG...

What follows is a 7 day battle plan against nightmares. You'll want to pray each portion daily and begin each session with confession and praise. The ideal time for spiritual warfare is between 12AM to 3AM. But it's more important that it's done before you retire. Don't wait too late either. You may find yourself unexpectedly sleepy which is devised to prevent the prayer.

If possible, keep a record of your dreams and look for recurring elements. An app is an option but make sure it allows you to record your entry via audio which will accommodate fatigue and late night stirrings. As you recognize the lies and patterns pray against them and affirm God's love and truth.

Given the frequency and tenure of your dilemma you'll need intercessors too. Jim Cymbals's church Brooklyn Tabernacle, is known for their prayer meeting and prayer warriors. Reach out to them by phone and continue to do so each month. It may take some to chip away at this depending on its strength.

But each time you pray imagine a sledgehammer attacking your affiliation. Rest assured, with constancy you'll bring it down. I invite you all to stand with Riley as a show of solidarity and brotherly love. We know what's possible with two and additional voices will heighten the fervency of its resolution. I will be praying with you as well and you're welcome to share your thoughts and feelings on the thread or tag me if needed.

Father in the Name of Jesus, I decree and declare on behalf of Riley...

May the Lord have mercy on your soul and deliver you from this vexing entity that has boldly afflicted the Lord's chosen without timidity. Do as You've done in the days of old and let Your battle cry be heard from the mountaintops. Rain down Your fiery vengeance upon the interloper who hinders Your son from the rest and peace You promised.

And do not relent Your assault until every iteration of brokenness and destruction it has wrought has been obliterated completely. Fill that space with Yourself and Your ministering spirits bringing restoration and wholeness where it's lacking manyfold. And recompense Your servant for every tear and restless night he endured. Render the charge against him in Your court overturned and dismissed.

For the sake of Your name and the anointing upon his head You applied within the womb. Do not sleep until my petition is satisfied and fulfilled. Let it be done at Your daughter's behest. My Beloved Father. In Jesus' Name.

Hi all,

I’m prone to nightmares and have very severe anxiety.

The past few nights have been brutal.

Please pray I may have a peaceful nights sleep and no nightmares.

God bless

We live in a very different culture today than we did back in the 80’s. So much more is tolerated and accepted now that years ago the church would speak out against.

It’s important to remember that we are called to be a light in the darkness. To come out from among the rest. To stand up for the Lord when it’s more convenient to stay silent.

Jesus never said that following him would be easy. He said that we would face trials. The great people of Faith Mentioned in Hebrews 11 paid the ultimate price for standing up for the Lord.

They also understood that they were only aliens and strangers passing through and their citizenship was really in Heaven. Paul who used to persecute Christians and was present during the stoning of Stephen, ended up in jail for his devotion to the Lord.

The book of Acts teaches us that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty to the pulling down of strongholds. We have the power of prayer, the word of God, Righteousness-

We are assured that we will succeed if we move out in the name of the Lord and walk in his spirit.

We should be the ones who are out there calling for peace in the midst of chaos. We should be the ones who are pointing people to the Lord. We should be reminding each other that our redemption is drawing closer.

We are not called to act recklessly in faith but righteous. We can’t accomplish anything the same way that we see people trying to accomplish anything.

Look at how many times we have expected politicians to make changes and it rarely happens the way we expect. Perhaps the change we are needing only comes from the Lord.

Didn’t Jesus say that what is impossible with men is possible with God?

Scripture teaches us that if Jesus Christ be lifted up, He will draw all people to himself.

It seems like so much time is wasted on things that don’t matter. And, not enough time spent on the one thing that does matter.

Jesus… Jesus!

Nobody should see himself/herself as hopeless.

Everyone can be a winner.
Everyone has own strengths and goodness. There is an unshakable worth inside everyone.

There is always hope, because of something.

The man faces 574 charges including burglary, abuse of corpse and criminal trespassing.

EPHRATA, Pa. — A man was arrested Wednesdayafter months of break-ins at Mount Moriah Cemetery in Pennsylvania.
Police say 34-year-old Jonathan Gerlach, of Ephrata, Pennsylvania, had more than 100 human skulls, two decomposing human torsos and other remains in various states of decay, ranging from skeletons older than 200 years to months-old infants, in his basement.

Anyone here familiar with the Advent Christian Church?

The denomination has its roots in the Millerite/Adventist movement, but, afaik, it seems like the only thing they have in common with the 7th Day Adventists is a belief in annihilationism.

I think this denomination is pretty close to my own views. Idk if I'll convert because I am on the fence about annihilationism. The denomination also seems indifferent to women's ordination, and I'm a complementarian.

What can you tell me about them?

After hearing about stories about how young people are diagnosed with a terminal illness and they only have months to live, it got me wondering. There is no guarantee of a long healthy life, no idea if the next week could be anyone's last days on Earth if it's because a car accident or anything else.

How much time have we probably wasted, and not spent it doing the things we love?

I will be changing the way I live, treating every month like it could possibly be my last, I think that will help push me to live life to the fullest and even live more for God. But I haven't been doing that in the past, I have been waiting and planning on doing things much later, but we don't know how much time we will have on Earth.

If Census counts have implications with regards to the number of house seats and thereby the number of electoral votes a state gets...
(which, someone is free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they do)

...despite not being able to vote in federal elections, large undocumented populations can still end up giving prevailing party of the state their in an unfair advantage at the federal level.

Would it be a fair statement to suggest that with regards to sanctuary cities/states, there's a bit of a conflict of interest there if their undocumented populations (albeit, unable to vote) are helping their team get more seats and electoral votes?


Is there an opportunity for a "bargain" of sorts?

Where, if a state designates itself as a "sanctuary" or allows their individual cities to do so, ICE leaves them alone, but their undocumented population can't be factored in when it comes time to calculate house seats, electoral votes, or federal funding for various programs.

Hello, everyone. I'm new to keeping the Torah and I'd like to know if these laws are still applicable:

Thank you.

Peace in Christ.

The “princes”….which means “first”…of this age come to nothing as they have crucified the Lord of GLORY. It is the Lord of GLORY rather than the suffering Christ that they have crucified from this earth. His glory is currently not being seen in this earth.

The princes love to be “first” among the man-based churches. They are “princes” and they know not what they do as the wisdom of God is being hid from them.

The Lord has ALREADY been raised to glory….and yet His glory is not being seen currently in this earth in this age because they are serving for their own belly rather than the Lord Jesus Christ. This is has blinded their minds to the truth of the gospel. The “god of this age”…the serving for their own belly…has blinded their minds to it.

The gospel is hid from the minds in those who are perishing…mortally perishing to the grave...and are leading MANY down that broad way to destruction. They are pastoring the flock of the slaughter. They are the vessels of His wrath. The wrath of God comes upon the children of disobedience.

1Co 2:6-8 KJV
(6) Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world (AGE), nor of the princes of this world (AGE), that come to nought:
(7) But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
(8) Which none of the princes of this world (AGE) knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

His people….the “heavens”…have NO LIGHT to shine to the people of the outside world (the “earth”).

The earth became “without form”…without the form of Christ (the Lord of glory) and are void…void of the knowledge of the glory of God because His people have NO KNOWLEDGE to do good and have no understanding. Yet, the are wise to do evil. The princes of this age come to nothing.

Jer 4:22-23 KJV
(22) For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
(23) I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.

His “visage”…that is, His view…is being marred more than any man. His FORM is being marred by those who do not know what they are doing as they have crucified the Lord of glory so that the outside world cannot “see” Him.

His people are not manifesting Him to the darkened world around us for they are dark themselves. The nations around us see us and are “astonied” as we are not manifesting His presence to them. They look at us and do not see His form and so are not attracted to us. They hate us instead and blaspheme His holy name among them.

Isa 52:14 KJV
(14) As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:

The Son of the man (Greek: anthropos) goes (withdrawing as if sinking out of sight) as it is written of Him.

He “goes”….PRESENT TENSE… as it is written of Him. He is being betrayed/given up (PRESENT TENSE).

He is being given up (betrayed) and so His form is not being seen among His people by the people of the outside world. The people of the outside world are the seeing man.

Mat 26:23-25
(24) The Son of THE man goeth (PRESENT TENSE) as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.

The Son of the "man" ("man" = "anthropos" = From “aner” (meaning “man”) and ὤψ ōps (the countenance; from “optanomai “ which means “ to gaze” …that is, with wide open eyes, as at something remarkable).

The Son of the SEEING man (the outside man who has eyes to see with) goes away…sinking out of sight. The outside seeing people cannot “see” the Son has His people are not manifesting His “visage”…His view…to them. The Son of the seeing man goes away (present tense) so that they cannot “see” Him.

The man-based churches …their elders and chief priests and scribes….have crucified the Lord of glory. His glory is not being seen in this earth because of them who have no understanding of what they do.

Mat 16:21-25 KJV
(21) From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
(22) Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.

We must depart out from among the man-based churches where they are saying “this is not unto you.” This is not so. "Be if far from you"...this is not so.

They will deny that this is happening. This is exactly what is going on….the Lord of glory is crucified among them. Satan and his ministers are actively doing this.

We must leave them behind and follow Him out of them: “ Get thee behind me, Satan.” Satan and his ministers savor the things of men….their church handwritings of ordinances, the doctrines and commandments of men…rather than the things of God (that are understood only by the Spirit of God).

Satan is an “offence” unto Him. The man-based churches are a “trap” where they are being deluded into serving the sin rather than dying to it and so are not manifesting the life of Jesus in their mortal flesh.

The Greek word skandalon literally refers to the trigger mechanism of a trap or a stumbling block that causes someone to trip. In the New Testament, it metaphorically signifies an obstacle, an offense, or a, "snare" that causes someone to stumble into the sin.

Satan and his ministers are using the church handwritings of men to get people to serve the sin rather than die to it. The church handwritings of ordinances are devices …trigger mechanisms of a trap….used by Satan and his ministers to get you to serve the sin rather than die to it.

They JUDGE others supposedly in HIS NAME/authority using their handwritings (the things of men) when God is the Only Judge. Who are we to judge another? We are serving the sin when we do. Only One Judge can save or destroy. We are not judges for God as that is His sole authority.

(23) But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

We must “come after Him”….denying our own religious church denominational thoughts and ways…taking up our cross (the stake that has anchored us in the man-based churches) and follow Him out of the man-based churches. Get thee behind me Satan. We are never to look back.

(24) Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
(25) For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

We must forget those things (the things of men) which are behind (get thee behind me Satan) and reach forth unto those things (the things of God) which are before us.

Php 3:13-14 KJV
(13) Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
(14) I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

We must count all the man-based things as a loss for Christ.

Php 3:6-9 KJV
(6) Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
(7) But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

We are to count all things (man-based church things) a loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus our Lord. Never mind the “princes of this age” and their things. They come to nothing. They perish. We must count their things as “dung”...leaving it all behind.... so that we may win Christ.

(8) Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

Saul/Paul did not go about defending his own “righteousness” (which was Law-based) but believed in Christ and His knowledge when he heard it.

We must also not go about defending our own “righteousness” which for us was derived from the church handwriting of ordinances but be found in Him at the hearing of the knowledge of Christ. For Paul, it was Law-based righteousness...but for us it is our denominational church handwritings' supposed "works of righteousness" that we once adhered to.

(9) And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

Some of those who attend man-based churches will "oppose themselves" as they will hear the Word of Truth and speak evil of it...being "drunk" on the wine of wrath. Hopefully God will give those who have been taken captive (captive in the man-based churches where his ministers are) "repentance"...to change the mind...to acknowledge the full Truth (the excellency of the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ) so that they may "recover themselves"....be sober at the revelation of Jesus Christ who teaches us.

We are to hear His knowledge and change our minds and lose our own religious thoughts and ways for His thoughts and ways our higher than our own.

2Ti 2:24-26 KJV
(24) And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
(25) In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
(26) And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

US federal authorities have launched an investigation into hundreds of millions of dollars in cash transported through Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport by airline passengers over recent years. The Tennessee Star reports that the inquiry focuses on large sums discovered in checked and carry-on luggage, most often linked to travelers of Somali descent departing Minnesota on international routes. According to federal sources, the cash movements were detected primarily during routine TSA screenings between 2024 and 2025. Officials are now examining whether the funds are connected to broader fraud or money-laundering activity.

Talk about a red flag!

As I pay attention to what is going on over in the Middle East, it begs the question: Why can't people just be good? Why can't we all just be friends and get along with each other? Why are there so may bad people over there initiating violence and bringing about evil?

I know what you are going to say: its because we are all sinners. And by having a sin nature people are prone to committing evil rather than good.

But I guess I am just so sick and tired of turning on the News and seeing all the negativity that is going on in the world. All the nonsense. So I rarely ever watch it.

I am certain I am not the only person who is deeply grieved by what is going on over in the Middle East. If people have never heard of thugs like Isis I will be surprised.

Lord, please come quickly and put down all evil. Make Your World good and beautiful again. Amen.

While senior administration officials portrayed TdA as a centrally directed terrorist network active across American cities, internal tasking directives and threat assessments repeatedly cite “intelligence gaps” in understanding how the group operated on US soil: Whether it had identifiable leadership, whether its domestic activity reflecting any coordination beyond small local crews, and whether US-based incidents pointed to foreign direction or were simply the work of autonomous, profit-driven criminals.

The documents, marked sensitive and not intended for public disclosure, circulated widely across intelligence offices, law-enforcement agencies, and federal drug task forces throughout the year. Again and again, they flag unresolved questions about TdA’s US footprint, including its size, financing, and weapons access, warning that key estimates—such as the number of members operating in the US—were often inferred or extrapolated by analysts due to a lack of corroborated facts.

Together, the documents show a wide gap between policy-level rhetoric and on-the-ground intelligence at the time. While senior administration officials spoke of “invasion,” “irregular warfare,” and “narco-terrorism,” field-level reporting consistently portrayed Tren de Aragua in the US as a fragmented, profit-driven criminal group, with no indication of centralized command, strategic coordination, or underlying political motive. The criminal activity described is largely opportunistic—if not mundane—ranging from smash-and-grab burglaries and ATM “jackpotting” to delivery-app fraud and low-level narcotics sales.

Please pray that God will allow me to stay well. That my lungs will be clear with no fever if it is His will. Please ask for healing. I ask in the name of Jesus. Thank you and God bless you. Carmen

Out of all the books in the Bible I have read, the book of Revelation has probably been the hardest for me to understand.

I have bought books talking about the meaning of its Scriptures, like books from Jack Van Impe (he is dead now), but still, the exact meaning of the Book of Revelation escapes me.

What do you guys say?

This was a prayer of King David, but I do not know if he was king at this time or not. David was a man of God who followed the Lord in obedience to his commands, as his life practice. He was not a perfect man, and there was a time in his life when he sinned against God and other humans grievously, but God used Nathan, the prophet, to point David to his sin, which then brought him to genuine biblical repentance. And I do not know if this Psalm was written before or after David’s moral failure, but God did forgive him.

Here David states that he himself was a godly man, so this was not the time in which he sinned grievously against the Lord. This was a time when his life was committed to obeying the Lord and to doing his will and to walking in his truth and righteousness. His heart and mind were surrendered to the Lord to do as he commanded. But it was also a time of trouble and distress, for he had enemies who sought to take his life, who did not honor God. But he had confidence that God would hear his prayer, and would answer him.

Now, perhaps some of us can relate to what David spoke of here and to some of David’s history. I know that I can. I also had a time of moral failure, but God brought me back around, and he forgave me, and not too long afterwards (4 years) he called me to writing down what he teaches me each day from his word and to post these writings on the internet. I can identify a lot with David’s heart and with his love for the Lord and with his desire to serve the Lord with his life, and with having people come against him, too.

But we read in the New Testament that if we follow Jesus Christ with our lives that we will be hated as he was, and that we will be opposed, mistreated, slandered, thought ill of, and persecuted for the sake of the name of Jesus, and for the sake of righteousness. We will have enemies if we are serious about our walks of faith in obedience to our Lord, and especially if we are verbal about our faith and the true message of the gospel of Christ which teaches us to die to sin and to obey God’s commands.

And when David wrote that God is good, and that he is ready to forgive, and he is abundant in lovingkindness to all who call upon him, he was not speaking of giving lip service only to the Lord or just asking God for favors. For all who call upon the Lord must call upon him in truth with a sincere desire to have a change of heart and mind resulting in a change of behavior, i.e. to truly repent of their sins. We must want to have our sins put to death so that we can now live for the Lord in walks of obedience to his commands.

You are loving and forgiving,
Jesus, Savior, King of kings.
You provided our redemption.
By Your blood You set us free.
You are gracious; full of mercy.
No deeds can compare with Yours.
Great are You; there is none like You.
Glory be to Your name.

Teach me Your way, and I’ll walk in it.
O Lord, I will walk in Your truth.
May I not have a heart divided,
That Your name I give honor to.
I will praise You, O Lord, my Savior,
For great is Your love toward me.
You have delivered me from my sins.
Your grace has pardoned me.

You, O Lord, are full of compassion,
Slow to anger, bounteous in love;
Faithful to fulfill all You promise;
Glory be to Your name above.
Hear, O Lord, and answer Your servant.
You are my God. I trust in You.
Turn to me and grant Your strength to me.
You are my comforter.

Abundant in Lovingkindness

He had a very bad case of it, insomuch that it practically swallowed up his entire life. He became so fearful and paranoid that he was calling my dad (his brother) on the phone every single day all the time wanting to talk to him. I think talking to my dad comforted him from his fears and paranoia, kind of like when a child hears his parents' soothing voice.

My uncle genuinely believed that everyone was out to get him and he was constantly looking out the windows of his house to make sure no one followed him home. It breaks my heart that he was living in such a bad state of paranoia!

But here is where it freaked me out: Sometimes he would call our landline phone (this was back in the 2000s or 2010s when landlines were still around and starting to go away) and leave us messages where he was almost yelling in fear begging for my dad to talk to him. It was like he actually thought it was an emergency or something.

I actually became afraid of my uncle after hearing those messages he left: I was only a teenager at this time and I thought he was completely psycho! I never wanted to talk to him. I was too freaked out.

Sometimes when he was talking to my dad he would calm down enough for them to talk about the latest football game. Both of them were into football.

My uncle is dead now. He died years ago, but I do remember that he was living a nightmare with his bad schizophrenia, and I truly hope he was born-again (I don't know), because I do feel like Jesus could have helped him live a better life. I just feel sad that his life was completely destroyed from this disorder.

I want everyone to have good lives. Sadly, that doesn't always happen.

RIP uncle Edmond.

Please, I just want the ladies only to answer this question, if they want to.

What are your hobbies ladies, if you have any?

I have a number of creative hobbies and crafts that I do in my spare time, but the list is so long that it would take me awhile to type it all up! So being that I am too lazy to do that, I will just say this: I am trying do something called Diamond Painting. I heard its popular, but being that I'm new to it I am having trouble doing it! Has any lady on here ever done Diamond Painting before? Can give me some tips?

A post from an X account explaining that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) celebrates Eve’s decision to eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil has gone viral, with 1.9 million views as of this writing. The post has drawn strong criticism from some Christians, who say it represents Satan’s point of view.

“In the LDS Church, we do not see Eve eating the forbidden fruit as a mistake or even a sin,” said a Jan. 27 post from the account Dem Saints. “To the contrary, we celebrate her courage and wisdom to partake of the fruit, transgress the bounds of Eden and become all that her Heavenly Father wanted her to be.”

After the post went viral, the account posted on Jan. 29, “I created a simple one-tweet summary of last week’s Sunday School lesson and just Eve-pilled more than a million people. Sometimes Twitter is pretty cool.”

Mark Eleven:
22 So Jesus answered and said to them, Have faith in God.
23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain,
‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart,
but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.
24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray,
believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
25 And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone,
forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.
26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.

Here is Jn 11 35 :

35 Jesus wept.

i guess Jesus is weeping over Adam and men's fall, but not sure.
What do you think, please ?

This is from my sisters' minister. He used to call himself a prophet. Anyway it goes for a bit over 2 minutes.

He says that God's voice is "quiet, calm, still, and small" based on 1 Kings 19:12:

"After the earthquake a fire came. But the Lord wasn’t in the fire. And after the fire there was only a gentle whisper."

What do you think? Could the voice of God that you hear sometimes not be "quiet, calm, still, or small"?
