#peace testimony

[theinwardlight]

[The Quaker] testimony to peace is deeply rooted in our experience of God over time, and we needn’t hide that. The earliest Friends testified in the first person, not counterfactually. This was grounded in worship, not a calculation of consequences. It was part of a God-saturated life, not a policy proposal... Jesus wasn’t much of a strategist; he just loved his enemies. Maybe that’s a lesson for us.

Silent Reading Everyone has a chapter of their life they'd rather not read out loud, times and testimonies they share humbly with an appropriate few, and a wisdom that only stems from a fool's experience. As tempted as we are to let those pages define or derail us, we have to remember that our story does not end there. If we repented, learned, and grew from that chapter - that's where many of our spiritual journeys began. Not a single page was a surprise to God. He used our broken pieces to not only get our attention but also to create something even more beautiful. Turn the page, keep going, and find peace in knowing that it's your plot twist that aligned you with purpose. your story is far from over, and there is no better time to revise it than now.

apparently people at the local quaker meeting are upset that some of the homeless people who live around the meeting house have been urinating on the porch. & it’s like well maybe if Friends would unlock the fucking bathroom

NOT FORGETTEN

As I listened to “Amara Onyewem ft Pastor Jerry Eze,” the song resonated deeply within me, serving as a powerful reminder of God’s faithfulness in my life. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when circumstances and situations threaten our peace and faith. However, in those moments, I am challenged to hold onto my faith, knowing that God is always in control. He sees and hears us, even in our most…

Dear Friends,

It's my sincere belief that my story is far from unique. If my experience resonates with you, I want you to know that you are not alone. If, like me, you've struggled or are struggling with intense insecurity over your salvation, fear of being left behind, not having been sincere enough, not having meant it enough, and on and on, this is the blog for you. You'll find encouragement, understanding, hope, and resources.

I love making mystreet Joh and Hayden old friends of Zianna who’re about to feed Garte to their pigs. The only reason Joh doesn’t hit Garte with his cane is because Laurence asked him not to, otherwise he’d concuss the man the second they were in the same room.

YAAYYYY mystreet joh and hayden as gay southerners could literally vaporize garte with a single glance but they hold themselves back for their son's peace of mind

''Painting The Impossible'' by Akiane Kramarik

This video is a testimonial of the artist Akiane from young childhood to adult, and the extraordinary path The Lord Jesus Christ put her on. Truly one of the most beautiful testimonials I have ever seen that I enjoy rewatching from time to time.

Saw a post ranting about liberal Christians and basically saying we're changing our beliefs to fit in with our secular friends and what not and how that's going to blow up in our faces and

Honestly kind of laughing because I was raised Christian, I'm fairly liberal, and none of my beliefs have been 'changed' to fit my friends?? And most of my friends are Christian or were raised Christian anyways. (And in elementary school where that wasn't the case, no one really cared.)

No, I believe different things because I genuinely believe them, thank you. Because I studied the scriptures, prayed, had thoughtful discussion with people of opposing viewpoints, etc. Not due to social pressure. (If anything, despite social pressure.)

At the end of the day people are going to have different beliefs than you whether you like it or not! Most people that disagree with you aren't misguided or bad! And that's just ✨ how it works ✨

No one will hurt or destroy on all my holy mountain. For the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.

Also, last night God was walking with me in a garden 🪴💐🌻 (I love gardens and this was the Garden of Eden)

🥰🤩😇

He was SUPER TALL probably about 8-9ft and he was wearing a white linen robe 👘 I couldn’t see his face. We had a conversation. I felt so peaceful ☺️ He told me “It was ok” lol 😂 I say Ok frequently so I KNOW he is listening and he knows I love gardens…..AND he knows I needed him 💕 How amazing. What a way to comfort and reassure me babes 😭

I love him so much 😭😭🥲

This is the second time I am seeing this scripture. It reminded of the time the LORD first spoke to me. He gave me directions and instructed me to turn right.

Thank you Father for reminding me that you are with me, guiding and protecting me. I called on you and you came without hesitation.

I LOVE YOU 🥰

Psychological and social impact of terrorism.

Terrorism is a unique threat not because it kills the most people, but because it has the greatest potential psychological and social impact.

Dorothy C.

Today, Dorothy speaks to us about Job’s faith, the purpose of marriage and God’s presence and peace in a dark season. Dorothy shares about the beauty of surrender. Thank you for your vulnerability, Dorothy. Tell us a bit about how you grew up and your childhood: I was born and raised in Hong Kong to a Korean mother and a Chinese father. They are both devoted Christians, which I’m very thankful…
