On Wednesday, Nov. 5, UniteUS, the movement that has reached thousands of college students for Jesus, held an event near the campuses of the University of Cincinnati, Xavier University, and Cincinnati State College.

Over 5,500 people attended the event that took place at Heritage Bank Center, which is directly located next to Great American Ball Park—home of the Cincinnati Reds. As they entered the arena, attendees were met with three pickup trucks filled with water in preparation for spontaneous baptisms that would follow the event inside.

ChurchLeaders witnessed Dove Award-nominated worship group Elevation Rhythm starting the night off leading worship. That was followed by Bible teacher, author, and podcaster Jennie Allen pleading with the students to follow Jesus.

During a recent interview with Fox News’ Jesse Watters, Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika, shared that she hasn’t watched, nor ever will watch, the video of her husband’s assassination that immediately flooded social media following the shooting.

On Sept. 10, Turning Point USA (TPUSA) cofounder Charlie Kirk, 31, was shot and killed while he was speaking during his The American Comeback Tour stop at Utah Valley University.

Charlie and Erika, 36, were married in May 2021. The Kirks have two children under the age of 4.

“I never saw the video. I never will see it. I never want to see it,” Erika told Watters. “There’s certain things you see in life that you can never unsee. There’s certain things in your life that mark your soul forever.”

Hello could I please get someone to pray about my work. I’ve been struggling with bad mental health this past year and have taken unexcused time off work. My boss is getting mad and I genuinely could loose my job tomorrow. I only finally support myself and my finances are already messed up from taking the time off. I really don’t know what I would do if I got fired. I just want some grace and understanding as I’m trying my best to get better. Thank you for taking the time to read this

I did not know until yesterday, that the Lateran Basilica is the seat of the Catholic Church.

I suppose I would be in the camp that doesn't believe the Bible is 100% accurate but rather 99% accurate. There are spurious verses and a few scribal errors that have made their way into the text but it doesn't impact my belief on it being the word of God. I think the writer of the article would have done better to explain if accuracy is meant by scribal errors and spurious verses or if people truly do not trust it as the word and inspiration of God.


Overall it's really nice to see that the younger generation and especially the men leading the way in spiritual renewal. A shame about the women, though. I would venture to say that's because they're going to university and droves and depending on the university they are being taught anti-Christian ideologies.

Maybe I am a simpleton that needs everything clearly spelled out.
Or
I think that @Landon Caeli is a conservative and conservatives are known for strongly believing in personal responsibility. Of course, if Landon Caeli finds it acceptable that 6 of the 8 billion people die, he will have no problem to take personal responsibility for it and stating so.
But above all, dear @Nithavela , let us not put words in other people's mouth. Let us not speculate. I am quite confident that Landon Caeli has been thinking this thoroughly trough and will astonish us with his insights.

Many Christian missionaries that come from the first world have a reputation of insulting the religion, faith, culture, and ways of life of non-Christians living in the developing world. This is one reason many people groups dislike Christians. In the villages we work in, missionaries have been known to mock the people's cultural practices, call their god a product of satan or a moon god, and tell them they have to give up their traditions in order to be saved. I have personally witnessed this, and worse.

Before any Christian goes into a village that is foreign to them to evangelize, they need to first take at least a year to study the religious beliefs, language, and culture of the people. They also need to spend time in the village and immerse themselves in the culture and participate in the daily lives of the people for a while before sharing the Gospel. Chances are the people that are going to be evangelized have already heard the gospel at least once, so a missionary who takes the time that is necessary to form a meaningful relationship with them shows that they truly love them and care about them. Going into a village and sharing Christ's love through action will go a lot farther in leading people towards Christ than rushing into a village spouting out a bunch of scripture and pointing out the people's errors without knowing much, if anything, about them and their culture beforehand.

I've shared the following on this forum in the past, but I think it is relevant to this thread.

Sharing the gospel is about planting, watering, and faith. When it comes to us sharing the Gospel, our job is to plant and water seeds. It's God who makes things grow.

"What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one. I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth. So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth. Now he who plants and he who waters are one; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building." (1 Corinthians 3:5-9)

It's the Holy Spirit that's doing the work of reaching the unbeliever, not us. We are simply the ones who share the gospel. In many cases the results may seem disappointing, but we should not be discouraged. God has not called us to convert people but to share the gospel. No one expects a seed to produce a harvest the same day that seed is planted, so in the same way, we should not expect to see immediate fruit from our evangelizing.

We can only do our part, which is to share the gospel and love the people as Christ loves us. We have no idea what God is doing in the lives of all the people we encounter and/or share the gospel with, and we may never know. Someone we share the gospel with today may or may not come to Christ, but they may share what we have told them about Jesus with someone else in the future, at which time the Holy Spirit convicts that person; a person we have never encountered or may never meet.

In addition to sharing the gospel, we need to also remember as personal witnesses to Jesus Christ and the gospel, living our lives in a Christlike manner and treating others with a Christ-like attitude is of utmost importance. The simple acts of showing kindness, love, and compassion towards those who are lost may be all it takes to eventually lead them to the Truth. Living by example is at the foundation and perhaps one of the most crucial components of our personal witness to Christ to others. Most everyone in the unbelieving world has heard about Jesus, some many times over, but they may not have seen Him in action even once.

Hi Brother, Thank you.

I checked your wall, and I knew you write through the context of Asia. Yes, our culture and context is similar to what you said.

First of all, I see you are living at Philippians, the Fung Wong Typphoon is badly hitting right now? Are you safe? Our prayer is to the safety of people there.

To get back to the topic, I totally agree to what you said. Sharing the gospel to the first take or the first hearers are the best to share about Christ. While I was in Bible school back to many years ago, as practical class for requirements we used to share about Christ every Saturday. When we asked them "If they ever heard about Jesus?" They replied, "We never heard the person name, Jesus, if a thing or person or male or female?". Sharing about Christ to these people, challenge about life, witnessing, showing kindness is the great achievement we ever had sometimes. They willingly wanted to hear us. They expect the next visit.

Sometimes when we were sent to the wolves as a sheep, we have to be be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves (Matt. 10:16). But sometimes the past missionaries did the wrong witnessing like they did as they wished and left with a bad reputation. Buddhist believers had idols or kind of worshipping at home. A missionary the past rented their home, and throwed their gods, as they considered their sacred god, at the street to bin. When they found out, they had some problems then chased him out of the village. A second time, a lady came to the village some years later. She act wisely, and taught their kids as preshool students, showed them kindness. Later, as she was also in a rent, she has some problem with the landlord, then had a mean to leave.

This village is another way that they don't like Christian that they did every kind of indirect way. Giving something with showing kindness is also considered that we persuaded them to become Christian. This is the biggest mistake that they did the past.

When I situated this village, they considered me as I would do the same. But to this day, I never give anyone but I tried to involved with community work like we are poor village, I helped them repaired the road, or help need of school tables or some other works. They acted weird before but when I slowly did some community works, they talked me or greet me.

As our country is in a bad situation, if they report in a bad way about me to destroy me, then military easily come to arrest or torture me. This is happening everywhere. So I am very carefully to take any step further. As far as the situation concerns, I need to show some kindness, like involving some help for the community, not to individual but a whole so that they knew our care, love and act of Christ. This required physical needs, but challenging my condition. I knew the Lord would do some transformation one day.

I would like to ask to pray for us. God bless you.

ABUJA, Nigeria — Fulani herdsmen on Thursday killed two Christians in Nigeria’s Nasarawa state and two others in Plateau state following the slaughter of 11 Christians in the latter earlier in the week, sources said.

In Nasarawa state’s predominantly Christian Sarkin Noma village, Keana County, herdsman invaded at about 11 p.m. while residents were sleeping in their homes, killed two Christians and abducted another, said area resident Dooshima Tse.

Musa Adamu, another resident, confirmed the killings and kidnapping.

How do you understand that phrase?

The Theotokos helps us in three ways - she prays on our behalf to Christ Pantocrator, and her prayers are known for efficacy, and also she points us to our Son and commands us to follow Him - we see both attributes on display during the Wedding Feast at Cana, and finally as the Mother of God, it is from her that Christ put on our human nature, facilitating our redemption, and indeed, the Gospel read at Marian feasts in the Eastern Orthodox Church it might surprise you to learn concludes with Luke 11:27-28, for indeed only our Glorious Lady Theotokos and Ever Virgin Mary, who is immaculate* managed to keep His commandments, but still required His salvation due to original sin, a salvation she obtained by virtue of risking her life to bear him.

Thus when we pray for her to save us, we are asking her to pray on her behalf, in recognition of the fact that she has pointed us to Her Son, our Lord, God and Savior Jesus Christ, commanding us to follow His instructions, and consequently those of the Father and Holy Spirit, the precious and life-giving Trinity, “ever One God” to use an elegant phrase from the Anglican hymnal, as is attested once more in the Gospel according to John, and the fact that she is the means by which the Only Begotten Son and Word of God became incarnate as the Son of Man for our salvation.

The efficacy of her prayers is demonstrated at the Wedding Feast in Cana, and also makes sense, in light of the fact that Our Lady had the most intimate relationship with God of any human, since the closest relationship any human can enjoy is with his or her own mother. Thus, the Theotokos is uniquely blessed, and will be held as blessed by all generations, for she as the Mother of God was and is closer to Him physically and emotionally than anyone else. This is also why on the occasion of her repose her body was assumed into Heaven on the feast of the Dormition - Rome may only have made this a dogma in 1955, but we Orthodox have regarded it as dogmatic since at least the fourth century, and likely much longer than that, for it has always been celebrated in our liturgy (everything celebrated in the Orthodox liturgy is dogmatic, on the basis of Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi, an approach also theoretically followed by the Anglicans, which is one of many reasons why historically there have been such good relations between the Orthodox and Anglicans, although one could argue varying degrees of churchmanship compromise this in Anglicanism by resulting in the same liturgical text having multiple interpretations depending on the churchmanship of the reader; I would argue that a prayer book is like the Bible, in that what St. Isidore of Seville said certainly applies - the meaning ultimately is in the interpretation, not the reading, since the right Scripture wrongly interpreted is still wrong, as demonstrated by the Arians for example, who managed to somehow read John ch. 1 and not interpret it as speaking of the Incarnation of Christ (a phenomenon we also encounter among some contemporary Christians, who usually are not Christologically neo-Arian but in some cases are, who seem to think that John ch. 1 is speaking about the Bible).

* The Orthodox do not deny that she is immaculate; we reject rather the immaculate conception, because this puts the Theotokos in a different ontological condition than the rest of the humanity and in our view this compromises the doctrine of the Incarnation, since we believe that Christ saved us by restoring our fallen human nature by glorifying us through His Incarnation, Baptism, Transfiguration, Passion and Resurrection, most especially on the Holy and Life Giving Cross where on the sixth day, he remade man in His own image, before reposing in a tomb on the seventh, thus just as the womb of the Theotokos once contained Him who is boundless and uncircumscribed, likewise the Holy Sepulchre contained Christ our God on the Seventh Day when He reposed - before His glorious resurrection, the true meaning of the Sabbath - also for this reason the Orthodox venerate the Theotokos and pray for our departed loved ones on Saturday. Indeed for us every Saturday is in some respects like All Souls Day in the Roman Catholic Church, but several saturdays throughout the year are dedicated as Soul Saturdays.

The Saturday preceding All Saints Day, the Sunday following Pentecost, which for us is a feast both of the descent of the Holy Spirit and of the Holy Trinity (this likely being one of several examples where the Western church took a compound feast such as the Epiphany and split it into two feasts, and more recently with the separation of Epiphany Sunday from the feast of the Baptism of our Lord in the 1969 Missal, into three; of course, everyone went along with the separation of the Nativity and Theophany (the feast of the Epiphany, the Baptism of our Lord) except for the Armenians, who alone continue to celebrate them together on the eve and the day of January 6th (thus the Armenians in Jerusalem who, like all Hagiopolitan Orthodox, use the Julian calendar rather than the Gregorian, are the last to celebrate the Nativity, on January 18th and 19th).

The wicked shall be turned into hell and all the nations that forget God. Psalm 9:17

streams shall become pitch and the dust into brimstone. Isaiah 34:9

Who among us shall dwell with the consuming fire, who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? Isaiah 33:14

(The wicked) shall be ashes under your feet in the day that I do this says the Lord. Malachi 4:3-4

If any man will hurt them a fire proceeds out of their mouth... and if any man will hurt them they must in this manner be killed. Revelation 11:15

The beast and false prophet will hurt them and therefore must be killed by the fire that comes out of their mouth. In this we can see the creation of the lake of fire, it is first kindled by the two prophets, then by the Lord when He returns, He also spews fire from His mouth Revelation 19:21, and then the final fire from the Father Revelation 20:9 destroys the whole world, 2 Peter 3:8-12 Rev 21:1 this world becomes hell, the lake of fire, just as the was said in psalms 9:17.

Having a creative hobby can bring you constant joy, even in adversity.
Cervantes wrote 'Don Quixote' while in prison, it would have been much more painful if he were not doing it.

Of course, the Christian faith & practices are the foundation of a joyful life.

I am reading in Isaiah, chapter 1. The people of God at that time, who lived in Judah and Jerusalem, were revolting against the Lord. They did not know God. They, as a nation, not necessarily including every individual, were a sinful nation, a people weighed down with iniquity. They were evildoers and those who acted corruptly; those who despised the Lord, who had turned away from him, and who were living in open rebellion against God.

And they were likened to being like the ancient cities Sodom and Gomorrah, the people of which were mostly known for being arrogant, complacent, idle, inhospitable, and unconcerned for the needy. And they were those who did detestable things which were morally disgusting to God, who engaged in sexual immorality and sexual perversion, including, and most well known for the abundance of their homosexuality, some or all of it forced upon others.

[Genesis 18:16-33; Genesis 19:1-29; Ezekiel 16:49-50; Jude 1:7]

Although they made physical sacrifices to the Lord as part of their religious rituals, their hearts were far from God. And so God was not pleased with their sacrifices, so he took no pleasure in them. For he saw their false acts of religious rituals as them trampling his courts. So, even though they spread out their hands in prayer to God, he would not listen to them, for he said that their hands were covered with blood (see Isaiah 1:1-15).


And do you know that the gospel of our salvation, under the New Covenant, repeats the same basic message as what this is teaching? For, as those who profess faith in Jesus Christ we are to be those who were crucified with Christ in death to sin, and raised with Christ in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin, but now as slaves to God and as servants of his righteousness in obedience to his commands. And we are to continue in obedience to our Lord and in putting sin to death in our lives, by the Spirit.

As those who proclaim Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are no longer to be those for whom sin is our practice and for whom obedience to God is not our practice. We are daily to be putting sin to death, by the Spirit, and walking in obedience to our Lord and to his commands, in holy and righteous living, by the grace of God, and in the power of God. And we should now be those who are doing good in the sight of God. But if we refuse, and so we rebel against God, then according to the Scriptures, we will not have eternal life with God.

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; John 10:27-30; Acts 26:18; Romans 1:18-32; Romans 2:5-10; Romans 3:23; 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; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; Hebrews 3:1-19; Hebrews 4:1-13; Hebrews 10:19-39; Hebrews 12:1-2; 1 Peter 2:24; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:3-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Revelation 2:1-29; Revelation 3:1-22]

Walking in The Light

Based off 1 John 1-2
An Original Work / November 16, 2011
Christ’s Free Servant, Sue J Love

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.

Well for me in my life I go by (Galatians 3:28) that we are all equal before God, there is no Jew or Greek. God appears passionate about though about trying to call the Israelites which I will support him with, some may wonder why given history how they left him but that is what it looks like in the Bible. I love the lion of Judah really as that represents Jesus and David line roots as well. I find geography interesting, especially how the world was shaped and where my parents descend from. I cannot claim to be an expert on all the other tribes. My parents come from a country with tribes and I am not into them.
I have read that some say that Jesus will not return until more take up the Cross which I find interesting to.

I like Romans 11 and the image of the Olive tree. I have changed it to God's Olive as someone wrote. Some people may want to claim it for themselves though and their own portion.

Click to expand...

We're one in Christ and equal before God (heart-to-God), but that doesn't mean there are not still different roles/responsibilities in this life. In Christ master and slave are one, but Paul still exhorts slaves to obey their earthly master, and masters to treat their slaves well and remember they also have a heavenly master. Man/woman are one in Christ but Paul and Peter still emphasise their asymmetric roles towards one another in marriage and in the Church. Being one in Christ does not mean we all have the same station or identical (earthly) obligations in life.

Israel is not an abandoned project by God.

Be blessed!
