#Roman's 15:13

[w0ls-den]

I am Pentecostal Christian and I can wholeheartedly say the same.

There is more scripture in His Word protecting those of diversity and differences and welcoming them into his arms all the same. All scripture that is against those of diverse beliefs/cultures/etc. Are INTERPRETTED AS SUCH BY THOSE WHO WISH TO WEAPONISE HIS WORD AGAINST THOSE THEY SEE AS UNWORTHY

HE DOESN'T DISCRIMINATE, FAKE CHRISTIANS DO

And Im tired of saying that. Of looking st my "Brothers and sisters" and knowing we are ALL hated because they think they are worthy decide the fate of those no better than they.

Christian's who think they can decide the fate of re worshipping themselves, they're no brothers or sisters or mine. They are no Christians.

A true Christian is one of warmth and unconditional love for all who will accept it in a spiritual sense. We are seed planters, not purifiers. We spread the word, not kill those who dont agree. But hope they can find happiness in their life with or without the one we call God.

I could preach for hours but I'll stop for now.

I’m an atheist. I despise evangelical christians. That said, if more christians were like this guy, I imagine there would be a lot less misery in the world.

Romans 15:13 (NIV) - May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 14:13, 15, 17 (NASB). “Therefore let’s not judge one another anymore, but rather determine this: not to put an obstacle or a stumbling block in a brother’s or sister’s way. For if because of food your brother or sister is hurt, you are no longer walking in accordance with love. Do not destroy with your choice of food that person for whom Christ died. for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.”

“Joy in the Holy Spirit” By In Touch Ministries:

“Abiding with our Lord brings gifts that money can't buy.”

“In today’s passage, the apostle Paul writes, “[Do not] put an obstacle or a stumbling block in a brother’s or sister’s way … For if because of food your brother or sister is hurt, you are no longer walking in accordance with love” (vv. 13, 15). God’s kingdom isn’t about what we eat or drink—or any other “rule” we think we must follow. Rather, it’s about the transformative work of the Holy Spirit within us.

When we align with God’s righteousness, seeking His ways and His will, joy blossoms. The Holy Spirit, our Comforter and Guide, brings it to life within us. He reminds us of God’s love, assures us of our salvation, and empowers us to live in harmony with those around us. This is not some superficial or temporary happiness; it’s the fruit of the Spirit dwelling in us (Galatians 5:22) and transcends our circumstances.

Take a moment to reflect on the joy that comes from knowing God and seeking Him. This profound sense of stability and strength cannot be bought or manufactured—it flows from our connection to the Source of all joy and is a taste of the eternal pleasures that await us in God’s presence (Psalm 16:11).”

Hope Floats…..or Not?

Many of us are tired and lackluster with our hope. Tired of negativity, political rancor, grumpy and whiny people. Tired of trying to make changes in our lives. But we’d better make some changes because Proverbs 13:12 says: “Hope deferred makes the heart sick.” Yikes! Who wants a sick heart? When we lose hope, we lose our health, our determination, our dreams, and our desire to face another day.…
