What Bible do ya'll read from? I bought a study Bible which has been pretty insightful. Also, just learned of a few apps called The Bible app and Daily Bible Devotionals. Haven't tried them yet, I'm sometimes skeptical of apps like this, because they turn into more entertaininment than a learning tool. But, thought I'd share if you want to check them out.

[John Prophet]

"For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall." 2 Samuel 22:30

good workout imagery

December is here, and we're inching towards Christmas. This Scripture is on my heart this morning:

For to us, a child is born...And he will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. - Isaiah 9:6

Happy Monday

This song really moves me, because in the ''crushing'' and ''pressing'' of the difficulties of the world, Jesus asks that we trust Him, so that he can bring ''new wine'' from us.

Sooo...does Hillsong ever make a bad song? lol

I am thankful to God that I am healthy and can lift and enjoy the endorphins. Enjoy the constant new limits. That I can sustain 4000 calories a day of whole foods.


We are all gonna make it brahs.

What's spending 0.00001% of spending your day to be thankful and recognize God for his reckless love. Also having an extra set of morals.

[whatevergirl]

I like that...''reckless love.'' ^^


Just wanted to share with ya'll an app that I recently got, and love. It's called Abide, and there are 2,5,30 and 60 minute meditations based on Scripture for each day. It also has a sleep section to listen to different Biblical stories as you fall asleep. There is music, and nature sounds to put in the background, too. It's $9.99 monthly - which isn't too bad for all that it gives you.

Have a great week!

This song is so awesome, I just love it. Wish I could find a church that worships like this.

Happy new year!

God makes all things new.

How's everyone's new year going so far? Mine has started off great. Waking up earlier and using the time to pray longer before work. It's been pretty amazing.

[farsikal]

Same as always: far above and beyond anything I could ever deserve!

I need to take a pointer from you and carve out more time to spend communing with the Lord, though. So many days, the only time I pray is when I eat. Thanks for what you posted. God bless!

[pastorpritch]

Going through a trial and steadily using it to draw closer to God ... as usual Developing better habits and new good habits and hopefully moving into new things and new relationships

I’ll be praying for you. Hoping that you’ll feel His peace and strength through whatever you’re going through.

It’s ironic you posted this because I was just about to post this:

2 Corinthians 12:9

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect through your weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest upon me.

Are you still pastoring this year?

Yea, it’s hard sometimes to “find” time but buying a journal to write down for example what you’re grateful for, prayers, things that are on your heart, etc can really help you set aside time. Ever since I started keeping a journal, I look forward to that time; we hear Him most when we are still, I’ve found.

Thank you for that
I am. Going through a divorce so it's been difficult (of course). Church folks are incredibly supportive and my mindset is starting to get back on track

Sorry to hear that. It's great that you have a support sytem available. I know you know this, but it bears repeating...surrender all of it to God. He fights our battles, even when we don't think so. Sometimes, it feels like God's not around, not listening, not caring...we don't 'see' any changes happening. But, He's working all things for our good. I have learned this, through my own trials. Praying that you find peace and joy, in the midst of it all.

I found this video recently, it's from the recent Passion 2020 conference. Sadie Robertson is from the show Duck Dynasty (I've never watched one episode of that lol) but her ''testimony'' is real and inspiring.

It's long, but worth the watch, when ya'll have time.

I read something insightful this morning that caught my eye. ''When fear trumps following Jesus, then you're being self-centered.'' Sometimes, it doesn't seem like fear is a self-centering thing, but I guess it is. I've struggled with fears and worry, and it seems that was the thing Jesus talked about the most in the Bible - that we shouldn't be afraid.

[whatevergirl]

Happy Friday, ya'll - hope you had a good week.

I found this song recently, and she sings about ''exalting'' God. That's a word we don't say much in our culture, but it's a life changing experience when you start exalting God. (and not yourself) It truly is a ''revelation.''

[BlackJack619]

Just wanted to say Im happy to see this thread!! God Bless you all!

Me too

[JessicaBaby2020]

I don't claim to be a bodybuilder or anything as spectacular as that, I'm just starting out my journey on here and looking for advice and support. However it is great to learn and see people on here are spiritual and have thoughts going on about the wider world very positive

[whatevergirl]

Hey! It's nice to see new people checking in.

Ran across this passage today, thought I'd share.

Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment in accordance with the fath God has distributed to each of you. - Romans 12:3
