Do not simply keep the hordes of evil at bay, but actively wield the sword to gain ground for the Kingdom
The sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God

Fellowship service will now be a monthly gathering
New podcast name: Weekly Verses

More of God’s word
Less of my words
Episode 1:
If Jesus stayed in the tomb, Christianity would matter very little
It would be yet another religion led by a wise teacher with good morals who died like all the others
But Jesus didn’t stay in the tomb
He conquered death and walked out of that tomb
And that historically validated fact changes everything
It means death lost the fight, the debt of sin was paid and it proved that the tomb could not contain what God chose to raise
If Christ didn’t walk out of that tomb, our faith is empty and we remain trapped in our sin
…..but Christ was raised, so we are liberated
#ChristisLord
Worldly freedom: I can do whatever I want
Biblical freedom: Through relationship with Jesus Christ, I become liberated from the power of sin and death
The myth of worldly freedom leads us to sin and damnation
The reality of Biblical freedom leads us to righteous living with purpose and Love
Choose wisely
The consequences are eternal
God bless you ✝️
Thoughts on Christian fellowship
✝️
A means of perseverance
A source of encouragement, accountability and support
Protection against spiritual decline
Bearing burdens together reduces the acute suffering
Excellence is a team sport, not a solo endeavour
A shield against the deceitfulness of sin
Isolation creates an easy target for satan
Sharing of burdens and resources creates resilience
‼️ Fiat currency is deceptive
It uses the illusion of utility to distract us from the reality of theft via inflation
One cannot use deceptive currency and serve God
⚖️ Bitcoin is honest money
By adopting bitcoin as our money, we gain the ability to use money that pleases God to serve God
“Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end.”
Hebrews 3: 12-14
