LISTEN BEFORE YOU ACT!
The enemy does certain things through the operation of a familiar spirit that studied and learned your pattern of thinking, just to see how you are going to react. Don't fall into such deceptions again.
Learn to wait and listen to the Holy Spirit's voice before you jump into action. Listening and responding to the voice of God is a learned art that pays off in the end.

The Importance of Humility in Overcoming Conceit
In our journey towards spiritual fulfillment, understanding the balance between conceit and humility is crucial. Each of these qualities plays a significant role in shaping not only our personal growth but also our relationships and worldview.
Overcoming Conceit: A Guide to Spiritual Discipline Ecclesiastes 1:13; 1 Corinthians 8:1; Romans 12:16; Genesis 8:21 In a world where self-promotion often takes center stage, the challenge of balancing humility with conceit is more pressing than ever. We often find ourselves grappling with the idea of how to acknowledge our own achievements without slipping into vanity. Biblically speaking,…

What it Means to Be Spiritual
True spirituality involves daily dependence on the Holy Spirit and applying God's Word, leading to a life that glorifies God and reflects Christlike character.
The Christian’s salvation is seen in three phases. Because we have trusted Christ as our Savior, we have been saved from the penalty of sin (John 5:24; Rom 8:1, 33-34; Eph 2:8-9), are being saved from the power of sin that we might live righteously (Rom 6:11-13; Col 3:5), and will be saved from the presence of sin when we leave this world and enter heaven (Phil 3:20-21; 1 John 3:2, 5). These…

Ways to Remind Her She is Your Submissive
Make her kneel at your feet at least once a day.
Give her daily tasks she must complete. We use the Obedience app.
Bend her over a chair or table at your discretion and fuck her. Your pleasure is all that matters at the moment.
Make her give you blow jobs whenever you’d like.
She must serve you first and wait for you to take the first bite.
Have her always address you as Sir or Master or Daddy.
Weekly maintenance spankings
Punishment spankings when needed accompanied by a lecture
Have her wear a collar at all times.
Around the house she must wear as little clothing as possible and always be available for sex with easy access.
Dresses are worn without panties.
Have her wear an anal plug at least an hour everyday because anal is always an option.

i suppose that one of my most unpopular opinions is that christianity - in it’s most liberating & progressive forms - does require a lifelong commitment to self-sacrifice. you are called, like Christ, to burn yourself in order to keep others warm.
i’m not a fan of the modern idea of “cheap grace,” which scoffs at things like undeserved forgiveness. you are called to forgive the worst people you know, even if it takes a lifetime.
while grace is abundant, free, and gentle - we find the example of Christ condescending himself to live among the “least of these,” suffering and dying - and calling his followers to do the same.
christ’s mercy never waned for those followers who walked away, but many did walk away once the calling became difficult.
while a lot of the language of “discipline” and “discipleship” gets misapplied by conservative christians to tie heavy burdens onto others, i think it’s a mistake as a progressive/leftist believers to ignore the fact that following Christ can certainly require intense levels of personal discomfort and difficult work.
yet, we don’t suffer alone.

My child, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by Him. For the Lord disciplines the one He loves...God is treating you as His own children. Who ever heard of a child who is never disciplined by its father?
Hebrews 12:5-7
When God allows something that makes your life hard, remember “the Lord disciplines the one He loves.” A loving and wise parent knows their child will benefit from such disciplining.
God is your heavenly Father and when He disciplines you, He is treating you as His precious child. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline?” God loves you. And when He saved you, He began to teach you His ways, at times this means disciplining you, refining you and developing your character. Today, He is working in you through your trials—for your good and for His glory. One day you will reach a point where you will be just like your Saviour, Jesus, conformed to His image.

The desolation will certainly come. Prepare for it, not only by laying up a store of comfort, but also by laying up a store of strength to carry you through the dark hours of the storm. Train yourself now to a rule of life, to exactness in prayer, to good methods of performing your several duties, to patience and charity, so that when the storm breaks, you may gather in all your sails, pull your ship together, and hold on bravely and faithfully through darkness and dryness and disgust and despair. Fidelity is the great virtue of the time of desolation; fidelity to God, fidelity in faith, fidelity in hope, fidelity in charity, fidelity to your own good resolutions of the time of consolation, and fidelity to prayer, the sacraments, and all the outward helps of a holy life.
George Porter, S.J., future Archbishop of Bombay, in a letter to a young nun dated April 27th, 1882

pretty much everyone positions modern AU philip wittebane as a hyperconservative westboro baptist style cult leader for obvious reasons, which i think he 100% could be, like. that's not a stretch.
HOWEVER.
in my heart of hearts. if you REALLY want to preserve the Horror that is belos and How He Is in the canon....
....then. modern AU philip wittebane is a christian psychologist.

The "Go" of Renunciation
Responding to Jesus' call requires decisive action. It challenges individuals to leave behind past attachments and embrace a new path, despite the fear of the unknown. This journey demands courage and introspection to identify what truly holds us back.
Renunciation is a key aspect of the Christian journey, focusing on personal growth and healing. It involves letting go of attachments that hinder progress, particularly for those facing addiction, co-dependency, or family issues. This process is not about losing oneself but about finding a better version of oneself through faith. The biblical foundation of renunciation highlights the importance…

Ribbon12 is Spanked for Lying Part 1
It was hot downstairs, so Tiler volunteered to get a fan that she claimed she saw upstairs. While I was waiting downstairs for her I noticed she was taking a long time to come back down. So in the end I found out that she was using that time as an opportunity to hide my implements and there was not any fan in the house. So I punished her for lying to me. In part 1 I use my hand only.

idk I just think that sometimes you need to focus away from the injustices around us. you have to sit and listen to that grief and ask yourself ‘what is it telling me that I feel this way? what is it that I really want? now that I know this, why do I want it? can I envision it? what does what I want really look like?’
often the first step to believing change is possible is simply this: it’s one thing to realise that things are wrong, but it’s another to propose a solution that actually works. none of us can see solutions automatically, it’s a creative skill and you have to cultivate it. you have to cultivate the discipline of being like ‘this thing is wrong for (list of reasons) and it is of priority for me to do something about. so I will start by imagining what it would look like if things weren’t wrong’ then go down your list and be like. does what I’m proposing solve all of these problems or does it just create more? how can I come up with a diverse range of ways to solve as many of these problems as possible? because the more things you come up with, the greater chance just one of them will be partially or fully able to be implemented
we desperately need more people to be doing this instead of only yelling on the internet. because we want to fill up the internet with solutions that don’t take a gazillion years to find because everyone buried them under (rightful) complaining. everyone deserves some hope in their lives and really badly needs it!! and we can have a lot more hope when we’re like. okay. this solution did not work but we can problem solve around it and maybe if the next one includes meeting the needs of more people. it’s more likely to happen.
