The Naked Isaiah

@Torncurtainorg Prosperity is the fruit of the Spirit and intensity of and intimacy with the presence of God. Everything else is circumstantial blessing.

The Prosperity Gospel is no Gospel

@autocorrect2_0 Oil in your lamp and ways to extend it assumes it is consumed and must be filled constantly from an external supply?

@jefflintz I did.

The parable of the 10 virgins- practical application As we watch for Jesus returns how do we stay ready and occupy and redeem the time? In the Bible, keeping your lamp trimmed and filled (Matthew 25:1-13) symbolizes maintaining a ready, spirit-filled life for Christ’s return. This requires daily dedication to prayer, studying Scripture, repentance, and actively nurturing faith to keep the "oil" (Holy Spirit) full and the "wick" (life) clean and bright.   1. Keep Your Lamp Filled with Oil (The Holy Spirit)  Daily Devotion: Consistently spend time in prayer and reading the Word, allowing the Holy Spirit to fill you (Ephesians 5:18). Active Obedience: Serve others and live in repentance to keep the flow of grace, rather than letting your love grow cold. Personal Responsibility: Oil cannot be borrowed. You must cultivate your own personal relationship with God (Matthew 25:9). Fellowship: Gather with other believers to strengthen your faith (Hebrews 10:24-25).  2. Keep Your wick trimmed Remove "Charred" Parts: The charred wick creates smoke instead of light. This represents removing sin, pride, and selfish desires through repentance and confession. Focus Your Vision: Keep your focus on Christ's glory; this "trims" the inner being to allow a clear, steady light, ensuring the flame is bright. Manage Your Focus: A high, unruly wick burns oil too fast. A "trimmed" life is controlled, avoiding the "high" of arrogance to produce a consistent testimony.  The Lamp: Represents your life, testimony, and witness (often within ministry). The Oil: Symbolizes the Holy Spirit, grace, and inner life of God in the believer. The Wick: Symbolizes the human spirit or heart.  Ultimately, the parable of the ten virgins highlights the need for continuous readiness, maintaining both the internal reservoir of the Spirit and the external purity of life, to remain ready at all times.

@Old_SchoolEddie @autocorrect2_0 Great post. When alone, turn to God!

Have you ever thought about the big difference between Judas and Peter in the Bible? Both men failed Jesus in terrible ways. Yet their stories ended very differently. Judas betrayed our Lord for thirty pieces of silver. When he realized what he had done, he felt deep regret. But instead of turning to God, he fell into despair. He tried to give the money back, but then he went out and took his own life. Peter, on the other hand, denied even knowing Jesus three times on the night of His arrest. When the rooster crowed, and Jesus looked at him, Peter wept bitterly. His heart was broken. But Peter did not stay in his guilt. He repented and turned back to the Lord. Later, Jesus restored Peter and even used him to build the early church. The Bible tells us there is a difference between worldly sorrow and godly sorrow. Worldly sorrow, as Judas had, leads to death. Godly sorrow, like Peter's, leads to repentance and life. Friends, when we mess up and sin against God, we have a choice. We can let despair take over, or we can repent and receive the forgiveness that Jesus offers. His mercy is always there for those who turn to Him. Let us choose repentance as Peter did.

@RevivedThoughts Fruit>Doctrine

Can you be bad at theology but still a great Christian?

@TheMuppetPastor Are you smuggling Bibles into China again?

Guys, I just found out I’m Chinese.

@peterpeccavi April Fool!

Joel Webbon is a faithful minister of the gospel.

@PoupartNFL @AquaCoralRep Roush is better than Delp for Dolphins suspected offense.

@KingOfPhinland 😂😂🤬

The Dolphins are bolstering the OL by bringing back a familiar face. Jesse Davis was in the building this morning to sign his new 2 year $12M deal. JES on the signing: “We saw how strong his tape was when he was in Miami & thought it’d be silly to let him play anywhere else.”

@NickQuient If God can slow manipulate time by making the Sun appear still in the sky (he certainly didn’t stop the rotation of the earth else everything not tacked down would fling into space), he can make a day however long he wants it.

Tell your intern to stop rage-baiting.

@KyleCrabbs @AtoZSportsNFL In Dolphins draft, Ione at #15 a C+? Concepcion at #30 a B? Something’s wrong with your grading.

The month of the #NFLDraft is here and I'm celebrating by hopping onto the brand new @AtoZSportsNFL draft simulator to run through a few 7-round mocks. First team up today is the Baltimore Ravens. 🔗⏬

@NickQuient LOL

Wesley was right about everything* *except for some of that latent RC stuff that isn’t scriptural. 😉

@NickQuient Ah, the Calvinist model. But the Quadrilateral is tight!

Wesleyan Theology is the Gospel.

@DavidFurones_ Compensating

What exactly is Patriots social media trying to do here? 🤔

@freemarketeer1 @NickQuient People fall away because they effectively haven’t surrendered to the seal of the Holy Spirit. Our salvation is linked to the inner witness of our helper. Intellectual assent is insufficient for eternal life. “Depart from me, you who practice lawlessness. I NEVER knew you.”

@NickQuient The problem is that “eis” in Acts 2 is used to convey that baptism is purposeful in granting some form of grace. Is it sufficient for all life to have you sealed forever? No, people can fall away, but its purpose is for instituting more than just personal obedience

I think this is lacking. I don’t think these texts are concerned with baptism. Washing/ cleansing imagery isn’t always about baptism. Sometimes washing is a simply metaphor. Either way, calling it “extremely fragile” is extremely fragile. 😉

@JustinM_NFL @Jason_Sarney All of these are excellent but the one I’m most hoping Dolphins target is Roush.

@NickQuient Here is the problem with “Protestant”. Its identity is not in itself but in a response to something else that is its source. Protestantism will forever be shackled to Catholicism.

QUESTION: which is a better term? Comment below

@CherylSchatz Cessationism for 1. OSAS that minimizes the witness of the Holy Spirit for another. The warnings against falling away are significant and severe and must be considered. When any doctrine is intellectualized without its meaning being a collaboration with the HS, it’s problematic.

@jefflintz Do you have a particular doctrine that you see as being upfront in controlling the Holy Spirit's transformation and fruit?

There are so many things that Paul would be exposing if he was alive on earth today. What do you think some of those things would be?

@LosTalksPats @minakimes @Patriots Re-education? What?

#Patriots HC Mike Vrabel on TreVeyon Henderson’s controversial post: “I love TreVeyon… He cares deeply about his faith… I want them to be able to express what they believe… But, I also wanna make sure that they’re educated. We want to be inclusive.” (🎥 @Patriots)
