Look like X is having problems. This is what I'm seeing on X; I'm thinking this on the app as well.

🤣

I want to get back into writing, but because it would be such a huge commitment, I decided to try to learn to write poetry. After researching books, I think these four will give me a good head start. I doubt what I write will be good, but I just have some emotions that I want to share

Since I know that my writing skills are garbage 😅, I decided to purchase books on both nonfiction and fiction writing. There are also the poetry books I bought. After studying, I might practice writing fiction again by creating an alt account on Royal Road.

If you're a fan of the French Revolution, you'll probably not enjoy or even agree with this book.

I wasn't expecting how scathing the author would be towards those who would try to remove Christians from society in an attempt to create a hyper-secularized society--describing how such efforts would remove the moral guardrails that protect against totalitarianism.

It often starts small like "don't talk about Jesus in a professional environment" or "be more considerate of other beliefs." Then it'll slowly escalate when you don't comply.

As I learn more about Christian history, I'm understanding that Christians are being manipulated and shamed into condemning a history that they don't understand. I say manipulated because how often those critical of our history stay quiet of the countless death under systems hostile to Christianity.

I couldn't help but get emotional, reading that prayer. 😢

I think nonbelievers struggle with the idea that (as Christians) we don't think we're good people. I imagined it's hard to imagine people thinking they deserve eternal punishment because of something they did.

I think I prefer Christian morality. 🙏✝ • 100,000,000 people killed by atheism over just a few decades VS • 500,000 people killed by theism over 500 years Normalized: • Atheism (assuming 30 years) = 3,333,333 deaths per year VS • Theism = 1,000 deaths per year

Being on social media, if you're prideful, you'll inevitably encounter those who will try to use your pride against you. We're not here to win. Jesus has already done that. We need to focus on softening hearts.

As a nobody, I think it's important to rely on those who have more experience and wisdom than I do. The Holy Spirit will help with discerning what's right and what's wrong, but this is contingent on us building a relationship with the Father. Be cautious and try not to desire to be an authority. ✝️

If you think that your life can be divided between times when you're allowed to follow Christ and times you're part of the world, you never gave your life to Him.

Reading this helped reinforce the need for me to better understand the Trinity. While I won't understand even a fraction of the Trinity, I want to get to a point where I could walk someone through what the Trinity means for Christians.

I want to caution Christians who want to be full-time (or are full-time) on social media that our goal shouldn't be to "win" against those who don't believe in salvation through Jesus Christ. God is already victorious. ✝️ Our aim should be to soften the hearts of nonbelievers.

Please read what's on these 5 (total) images. ❤️✝️ Even those who follow Christ struggle with the understanding that our professional accomplishments that we've been taught to value by the secular world is ultimately meaningless--especially if God isn't the focus Part 1 of 2

The question I ask God every day. 😢🥺❤️🙏✝️

"...If I live, I live with Christ, and if I die, I also live with Christ." ❤️🙏✝️

Please be encouraged that your hard work IS being recognized. God sees the effort you put in and the tears you shed from the stress and anxiety of your tasks. Remind yourself each day that God is eternally proud of you. He understands our circumstances of being in a cursed world. 🙏❤️✝️

I hope that sharing these images, talking about the consequences of sin entering the world, will better equip Christians to better convey why we think the fall was such a traumatic historical event.

I can't help but feel humbled after reading this profound statement going over the fall as described in Genesis.

When we talk about the resurrection, I think about the burden of proof often demanded of us. Some skeptics expect a level of proof that isn’t even required in our justice system or throughout the study of history. This expectation seems both inconsistent and unfair.

This is great for explaining the different perspectives of each of the gospels and what they're focusing on.

It's crucial to take in information and make a sound decision. You shouldn't accept what others tell you just because you believe they're smarter/wiser than you. The only one you can rely on is God. 🙏❤️✝️

Bringing it to 🦋 by request: People hate their own art because it looks like they made it. They think if they get better, it will stop looking like they made it. A better person made it. But there's no level of skill beyond which you stop being you. You hate the most valuable thing about your art.

I need to read this each day. 🥺❤️🙏✝️ It'll remind me how I deserve none of God's love.

Amen. ❤️🙏✝️

Please pray for my health. 🙏✝ My throat is getting messed up from all the dry coughing.

Gunning down CEOs is not the answer—nor can it ever be.

When people mention a contradiction being found in the Bible, it's important to remember that such ideas are spread for clickbait reasons. A paradox and mystery isn't the same as a contradiction. Calling something a contradiction is to drive traffic and cause doubt amongst believers.

I watched this video on TikTok and thought this would be great as a learning example of how those who don't believe often present a problem, but it's only due to how they intentionally frame it. ✝ The TikToker talks about John 18:4-5 and Matthew 26:48-49. This is part 1 of 4 of the video.

When you realize the World has nothing to offer you, other than heartbreak. Only Jesus can offer what we need. ❤️✝️

While we need to proactively defend our faith against those who spread hate (while aware of their position actively harming society), we also need to defend those who don't believe (merely ignorant or misunderstanding Christianity) from our own who have fallen into rage and go against Christ. ✝️

I can't help but feel frustrated, knowing there's so much information I need to learn and would not only strengthen my faith but also help others as well when I share what I find, but the restriction for when I'm able to study is limited due to working a full-time job. Then there's my intelligence.

I treated myself to a fresh pot of egg drop soup for breakfast this morning!🍲 😋 No judging, please—food is food, right? It's a bit chilly outside today. ❄️ 🥶 #goodmorning #yum #eggdropsoup #breakfast #food #chilly

Made me think of the books I got that talk about negative emotions.

Honestly, I question whether I'm smart enough to understand the content in this book--especially not having a teacher and doing self-study. But, it's important for me to be able to convey my thoughts in an organized and strong manner. Regardless of where you work, understanding logic is important.

Those who doubt events described in the Bible, reading this and similar pages that support what occurred feels vindicating as a follower of Jesus Christ. Nonbelievers frequently demand extrabiblical sources/evidence, not realizing the sheer number of evidence supporting the contents within the Bible

Whenever I talk to someone who identifies as being Christian but doesn't recognize the Trinity is a jarring experience. Also, I can't help but feel deeply concerned as to how they read the Bible and arrive at such a conclusion.

I am excited to announce the charity event I will be holding for @gamersoutreach.bsky.social!!🎄 Come watch our Gingerbread Building Competition where our participants will answer trivia questions to be able to start their building tasks, get special bonuses and sabotage their competitors!!

Maybe I should to a fanfic of DanMachi, where there's a follower of Christ living in Orario. While the main story is moving along, in the background, side characters notice a man who doesn't appear to be connected to any Familia. The individual is often seen just eating a loaf of bread.

The fact that there are Christians who doubt the divinity of Christ, we should be moving away from seeker-focused churches and focus more on strengthening the faith of those who have a minimum foundation of what it means to be Christian. Clearly, churches are underestimating the world.

I'm not happy when I anger those at the church I've been visiting each week. But when specific topics are mentioned and the contentious core issue isn't clearly addressed, I can't help being direct and try to gently guide them back. We must directly address issues before they become normalized. 😢✝️

As you prepare for the day, this video will help remind you of the dangers in the world. Keep your focus on God. ❤️✝️ youtu.be/zz7ixO4D8_w?...

I can't help but feel that the Church has dropped the ball with single guys. Instead of encouraging guys to turn towards God and reassure them, many church leaders will shame them for not being married, despite there not being scripture to support such thoughts.

If you're new to being a Christian, I think these two textbooks are a great choice to help you develop a strong foundation of your faith. They'll help you understand what it means to be a Christian as you make your way through your study Bible. You can always dive deeper, but this is a good start.
