Fire Skip.

I redid the classic Greek prepositions with mice and cheese illustration, with some inspiration from Richard Scarry and help from AI.

Church Father Tertullian on male grooming: “…to cut the beard too sharply; to pluck it out here and there; to shave round about (the mouth); to arrange the hair, and disguise its hoariness by dyes; to remove all the incipient down all over the body; to fix (each particular hair) in its place with (some) womanly pigment; to smooth all the rest of the body by the aid of some rough powder or other: then, further, to take every opportunity for consulting the mirror; to gaze anxiously into it: -while yet, when (once) the knowledge of God has put an end to all wish to please by means of voluptuous attraction, all these things are rejected as frivolous, as hostile to modesty. For where God is, there modesty is; there is sobriety her assistant and ally.”

“May the church in this city and the wider region have peace and continue growing in the word. And as we walk in the fear of the Lord and comfort of the Holy Spirit, may you multiply your people.” A prayer for our churches, based on Acts 9:31

The devil still thinks he can stop the church. 😂😂😂 He cant’t.

Wartime ministry courage: “But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.” - Acts 20:24 #Dubai

A friend sent me this battlefield encouragement from Stonewall Jackson: "My religious beliefs teach me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time of my death. I do not concern myself with that, but to be always ready whenever it may overtake me. That is the way all men should live, and all men would be equally brave."

This is the way.

So, friends, be strong; fear not.

“Say to those who have an anxious heart, ‘Be strong; fear not!’ Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God. He will come and save you.” – Is 35:4

On fear (the kind you feel when missiles are exploding over your house), a 🧵: “In God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me?” – Ps 56:11
