Does anyone know if something is going on with Highlighter? I went to post my longform post and the website won't even load for me. #asknostr

I was just reading Romans 8. There is so much good information in that one chapter. If I could have only one written chapter of the Bible, I'd pick Romans 8. Of course there are so many good chapters in the Bible. What about you pick if you could only have one chapter in the whole Bible #Jesus, #Christian ,#Bible ,#biblestr, #christianity, #BibleStudy,God

I’ve heard a lot of people question how they can be happy in heaven knowing that friends and loved ones are experiencing eternal torment in Hell. I’ve not had a good answer, but was leaning to believing that when we experience God’s absolute majesty and holiness, we will agree 100% with His judgment and the feeling of righteousness will overwhelm the feeling of sadness. Although I think there is some truth to that thought, this verse has made me think that isn’t the whole story. “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former things will not be remembered or come to mind.” (Isaiah 65:17) Scripture says that “he former things will not be remembered or come to mind.” It looks like one reason we will not be sad is because we won’t remember our sin, hardship, loss, and those who are not with us in heaven. Keep reading the Bible. There is always more to learn #grownostr #biblestr #Bible #Jesus #jesus #christian #christianity #heaven #EndTimes

I just ordered a proof book for my second book "Joy in the Storm: Growing my faith in a very good God." I've had the book written for a year, but editing and formatting took a long time since my editors are working for free and I've been too busy, for the past 6 months, to do the formatting. When I finally did, I had some major problems. There must have been some ghost character that was locking up my book editor. It feels really good to be at this point. I'll let everyone know when the paperback and when the ebooks are available. If anyone DMs me their email and zaps 100 sats, I can email the .mobi or .epub version to you. Offer good July 2025. (at least good for the first 10+ requests. I don't want to get a massive quantity and cause myself too much work, individually emailing everyone.) #biblestr #Bible #Jesus #Christian #christianity

Too often we are given the false dichotomy of faith or logic. Faith in our Creator is logical and factual. It doesn’t require blind faith. It can be rightly defended logically, factually, and even scientifically. “And he entered the synagogue and continued speaking out boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading them about the kingdom of God.” (Acts 19:8) Science and logic can’t conclusively prove God, but they do actually agree with and support the Bible. Those that say otherwise are either working hard to disprove the God they don’t want to submit to or they are starting with false assumptions and therefore coming to false conclusions. #grownostr #biblestr #Bible #christian #christianity

Like many things in our Christian life, we can error to multiple extremes. Most people seem to be worried about arguments between Christians. I’ll admit some of them get ugly and that should never happen. On the other hand, we aren’t supposed to just let error continue, but should correct lovingly using Scripture (not our opinions). “25This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he was speaking and teaching accurately the things concerning Jesus, being acquainted only with the baptism of John; 26and he began to speak out boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.” (Hebrews 18":25-26). When a Jew named Apollos was speaking using the Jewish Scriptures, two godly Christians, Aquila & Priscilla, pulled him aside to explain Jesus to him more accurately. They didn’t try to embarrass him in front of people. They didn’t try to beat him at an argument. They gently pulled him aside and explained the truth to him. By correctly him privately and in a loving manner, he became an amazing preacher that defended the faith boldly and correctly and brought people to Christ. Ignoring error is as bad as browbeating the mistaken. All believers should be searching for the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. We shouldn’t be trying to look more righteous or to embarrass those who may be less mature or misled. #grownostr #biblestr #Bible #christian #christianity #apologetics

Too often people assume knowledge and education equate to wisdom, but they don’t necessarily have much correlation. A rough definition of wisdom (or at least how to attain it) is: Wisdom = God + knowledge If a person has only knowledge, but rejects God, He is the greatest of fools. If he has God without knowledge (especially knowledge of God and the Bible), then does he actually have faith in the God of the Bible or is it only faith in a god of his own creation and likeness? We all need God and knowledge. Reading the Bible is one of the best ways to gain both. #grownostr #biblestr #Bible #Christian #christianity #God

On the way home from work today, a pronghorn antelope tried to kamikaze my car. Luckily I didn't hit him. Unfortunately, I couldn't get out my phone fast enough for a picture. This is the second time in a week that antelopes got very close to my car.

When I was reading Hebrew 7 last night I noticed that Moses spent 40 years in the Egyptian Palace, 40 years as a shepherd in Midian, and 40 years leading the Israelites through the wilderness. We all go through stages in life that prepare us for the next. Sometimes those stages last a lot longer than we think they should and others don’t last as long as we’d wish. I can also see the hand of God in 3 forty year periods. #biblestr, #christian, #christianity, #Bible, #grownostr

Just under 10 years ago, we lost our house in a 60+ mph wind fueled grass fire. My two biggest losses from the fire were the Bible & letter my husband gave me when he proposed and my great grandmother's chemistry thesis paper and graduation announcement for her masters in chemistry in 1913. I was talking to my parents today and my Dad told me about cleaning out some old pictures and stuff. Him and my niece threw out my great grandmother's masters in chemistry diploma this summer. If I'd only known they had it, I could've rescued it and hung it on my wall. I'm super bummed.
