Nothing Jesus Christ ever said is common sense. His words are revelation sense; they reach the shore where common sense fails.” - Oswald Chambers

Common sense isn’t faith, and faith isn’t common sense. They stand in the relation of the natural to the spiritual, of impulse to inspiration.

“Faith in antagonism to common sense is fanaticism; common sense in antagonism to faith is rationalism. The life of faith brings the two into a right relationship.

Though storms rage and trials press upon us, fix your gaze upon the Lord. He alone is steadfast and unchanging. In every trial, let your heart rest on His promises, for He will not fail you.

Step into this week with courage, knowing God shapes us in the smallest tasks. Seek strength to fulfill His purposes. When we face trials, He offers grace and power. Trust Him with the unknown; let His will be your anchor. Faithfulness now shapes eternity. #MondayMotivation

“We ought to propose to ourselves is to become, in this life, the most perfect worshippers of God we can possibly be, as we hope to be through all eternity.” -Brother Lawrence

@SEP01286 @DatelineNBC @JoshMankiewicz I came here to say the same thing. It was boorish and unnecessary to the story for @JoshMankiewicz to crush her like that. He seemed almost giddy about it. Gross.

@DatelineNBC @JoshMankiewicz Valerie and the text messages was brutal to watch.

Who would want Ildiko dead? An investigation into her love life revealed several possible suspects... @JoshMankiewicz reports in “Death at the Spa” – which is available now, wherever you get your podcasts. #Dateline link.chtbl.com/dl_deathatthes…

@DatelineNBC @JoshMankiewicz @JoshMankiewicz you didn’t have to nail Valerie like that at the end. Save that gotcha style garbage for the daytime talk shows. She was naive and as you said “foolish”, but watching someone’s heart shatter isn’t entertaining.

He alone stretches out the heavens and treads upon the waves and high places of the sea. Job 9:8

“Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.” 1 Cor 16:13

“True lowliness in the earth that simultaneously gives its life up for others is seen as great and prominent in Heaven. Heaven looks down and sees prominence in lowliness, greatness in humility, importance in selflessness”

My goal for 2024 is to know Him. In all tasks, responsibilities and leisure I desire to know Him. “…speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ.”

@IamRickJoyner @elonmusk

One of the exciting developments of the year is Elon Musk starting a university. Universities have been key to building our nation, but now they're obsolete and are teaching our future generations more about hate than preparing them for the future. There is a new breed coming!

But it also thinks that a great many things have gone wrong with the world that God made and that God insists, and insists very loudly, on our putting them right again. — CS Lewis From Mere Christianity

For Christianity is a fighting religion. It thinks God made the world —that space and time, heat and cold, and all the colours and tastes, and all the animals and vegetables, are things that God 'made up out of His head' as a man makes up a story,

David said in Psalm 36.9 “For with you is the fountain of life;
    in your light we see light.” Drink deep from the fountain. Live free in the light.

His grace is sufficient. May we be a people without mixture. Washed clean of the love of what this world has to offer, our eyes fixed upon Him and Him alone. Singular in our affection desiring only to please Him…

We can do this. Together. And it’s going to be fun. A lot of fun.

Open our homes and (more importantly) our hearts to those we are given. Deepen connections through breaking bread and sharing our stories. Be kind.

This will be a year of manifesting the nature of DIVINE KINDNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Romans 2:4
