The Butterflies That Live Inside My Stomach Gotta Die.

The butterflies that live inside my stomach gotta die.

where would you say is a good place to start off reading the bible? im kind of overwhelmed by just how much there is and im not sure if i should just start off from the beginning or not

Hey there lil brother/sister in Christ! Welcome to the spiritual family, I'm so excited to have you!

The cornerstone of our faith is Jesus Christ... because without His life, burial, resurrection and promise to return again... we have nothing. That being said, the Gospels are the best place to start. If you don't know, the Gospels are New Testament books called Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They tell the story of Jesus' life through the eyes of different disciples who followed him and tried to put his teachings into practice. I would say the book of John is where you should start; learn about how Jesus lived his life as our example in the flesh and learn about how much He loves you.

The Bible tells us to pray for the wisdom to understand, so it may be helpful to do this before beginning your studies!

"If any man lacks wisdom, let him ask it of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him."

James Chapter One, Verse Five

Please feel free to leave another ask or even DM me privately if you would like more thoughts, support or advice on your spiritual journey. I'm so excited for you!!!

Agreed. Pride flags shouldn't be in church for the same reason American flags shouldn't be in church. Anyone trying to pin their politics on my Jesus is missing the point of the Gospel entirely and is too caught up in worldly debates rather than the eternal Kingdom of God. Let's be real with ourselves; Jesus Christ would have been an ANARCHIST!!!

If I hear one more person telling me or any other Jesus loving, political rebel I know that it's their "Christian duty to vote right" I'm going to explode. And for that matter, if you're choosing to fly the American flag, or flag of ANY TYPE, over the Christian flag, you're commiting a blasphemous act. Happens way too often.

This shit goes all the way back to the Ten Commandments, people...

"Have no other gods before me."

I feel people miss the point of that commandment. When it says that, it doesn't just mean gods in Roman or Greek history. Anything can be your God: politics, sex, drugs, your country, your gender. Anything that you value over your faith is your God. Give it some thought. What flag do you fly above Christ's in your own life?

I’m sick of the American political machine and how it relates to Christianity today. I’m tired of Christ being wrapped up in culture war garbage. I’m over liberals insisting Jesus was some progressive lefty and conservatives claiming you’re going against the Bible by not voting for Republicans/refusing to worship at the altar of Donald Trump. I’m sick of lesbian priests and rainbow flags draped over churches and shaming towards married couples for not having 6+ kids and dunking on working moms. Where is any of this in the Bible? Where is God in all of this? How is participating in tribalism orchestrated by the Elites spreading the Gospel to the world? When did we start letting Fox News and random Twitter liberals dictate what “Christian values” look like?

naturally, i like the crazy ones

and a little crunchy from glaze too....remember to glaze your work folks

I'm tired of rebellion only being acceptable if you rebel in a politically correct fashion.

I'm tired of hate speech being acceptable as long as it's directed at the "correct group."

I'm tired of watching the church bow down to deranged elitists and corrupt government.

I'm tired of truth being manipulated.

I'm tired of cancel culture being normalized.

I'm tired of intolerance being tolerated.

I'm tired of skin color being a factor in judging and loving others.

I'm tired of equality turning into revenge.

I'm tired of gender defining identity, expectations and capability.

I'm tired of the "kill all men" twisted doctrine.

I'm tired of misogyny and chauvinism.

I'm tired of the boxes and the stereotypes...

With no space allowed to exist in between.

Let's start a proper revolution.

A revolution of love.

A revolution of proud existence, proud resistance and total disregard to what is considered "acceptable."

A revolution they can't dictate. They can't profit from. They can't control.

A revolution they can't stick in boxes of left or right or central or up or down or sideways.

Anarchy in its purest form.

Reblog if you see through the political mind manipulation games of the modern world.
