The Holy Bible, God's Word, is not a book of rules. He is an introduction booklet to the incomprehensibly loving Creator of All. He who was, is, and is to come, the resurrected Son of God, Jesus. Read the introduction to God himself with an open mind, and He will open your eyes.

If you're a Christian, you're an evangelist, a witness to the world. If you're a Christian, your every love, your every hate, your every forgiveness, your every grudge, your every action, either glorifies or demeans the Lord. Because you don't get to choose what the world gets to see. This isn't a checklist. If Jesus loved you enough to die for you, He loves you enough to keep loving you while He improves you. If He loved you enough to die for you, He loves you enough to shine through you. If you're a Christian, you're an evangelist.

(Separate from the divine anointing of being an evangelist in as in Ephesians 4:11)

This man has read all the major religions books and this is what he has to say.
THE HOLY BIBLE IS THE ONLY TRUE WORD OF THE ALMIGHTY GOD.
You need something in your life you'll prioritize above any amount of money. If you don't have one, choose something to love like that. It's okay if it is replaced later. It is very important that money is not everything to you. Having this principle is also quite attractive.

Christian Wives: It's okay to be a Proverbs 31 woman in the streets, and a Song of Solomon woman in the sheets.
Both books made it into the Bible, ladies.
Character, perspective, courage, and charisma are the four pillars of being a leader. However, there is a foundation below each of these pillars, and without it they will all fall & fail spectacularly in time. That foundation is Salvation's Cornerstone, Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

According to the Holy Bible, the Devil is on Earth, and rules over at least the sinful aspects of Earth, not in Hell or ruling over Hell.

Unregulated private data collection of unregulated citizen data, both of cars and of people walking on the sidewalk, is a continuous search without reason and without warrant. Furthermore, the method itself is callous, uncaring, and indifferent about who it is searching. This is a gross violation of the Fourth Amendment. All of this doesn't even mention reasons that have to do with the fact that the system itself has been shown to have significant error rates, which is horrible when they are being used for legal matters. Flock cameras in general just ought not be.

Find luxury in your godly purpose. Not from your natural purpose, and not purpose of either kind from luxury.
Supporting scripture:
Proverbs 19:21, Jeremiah 29:11, Matthew 6:19-21, John 15:5, Romans 8:28, 1 John 2:15-17, Philippians 3:7-8, 1 Timothy 6:9-10

Whenever you are about to decide on a course of action, you should ask yourself, "What series of steps does this course of action actually require, and what are the possible consequences of executing those steps?"

Duty of care standards apply to pregnancy. Yes, bodily autonomy is valid, but plenty of professions & obligations, both voluntary & non-voluntary, have a similar duty of care. The limit starts & ends with life. So, abortion without danger to the mother is murder of the vulnerable

I WISH someone had explained this to me when I was younger Christian.
Every commandment in the Bible and everything it calls a *sin* is actually a *warning* from God not to hurt yourself.
In other words, as it has been said before… When God says DON’T, what He's really saying is: DON’T hurt yourself.
Let me give you several examples.
Sex before marriage - It is a scientific fact that sex creates a neurochemical bond with another person, not just physically but emotionally.
In other words, sex is not just the union of two bodies, but of two souls. So when God says DON’T, he’s saying: you don’t want to be bonded like that to somebody you barely know.
Lying - When you lie, you eventually destroy the trust other people have in you. And the problem with lying is that one lie often requires another to cover it up, until eventually, you've built an entire life around pretending to be someone you're not.
Envy - Envy is resenting God’s goodness in someone else’s life while ignoring God’s goodness in your life. Instead of living a life of gratitude and joy, you live one of bitterness and anger.
Pride - Pride makes a person care more about BEING right… than making a relationship RIGHT. And you become incapable of learning, apologizing, or growing.
Gossip - Gossip destroys relationships… and if someone is gossiping TO YOU about other people, chances are they're also gossiping ABOUT YOU to other people behind your back.
Unforgiveness - This one is tough because you’re already hurt with something. But when you refuse to forgive, unforgiveness makes YOU a prisoner of your past, and a slave to bitterness, resentment, and pain. God says “don’t.”
Greed - Greed makes you believe a lie that if you only had “more” then you’d be happy. Not true. You’ll be miserable.
Lust - We live a culture saturated with lust. It always destroys your ability to experience true intimacy with another person. This is why our culture is terrible at marriage, intimacy, and relationships.
Here’s the point.
Deuteronomy 10:12 (NIV) says “Observe the LORD's commands and decrees that I am giving you today … for your own good."
When God forbids something, it’s not because he hates you and he’s trying to rob something from you.
It’s because he loves you and he’s trying to protect you.
When He says DON’T, He's not trying to keep you from enjoying life.
He's teaching you how to truly live it.
