Even in our sins. Even in our failures. God deserves all honor, glory, and praise. Turn to God in those times, not away from Him. Praise Him all the more. He promises that when we ask for forgiveness, He will forgive them. Ask Him to help you not to do it again. Praise Him always

Stop filling your timeline with political influencers who also talk about Christianity as if they're authorities on faith.
Being outspoken about Jesus doesn't make one spiritually mature; a large following doesn't make you wise.
Be careful who you let disciple you.

It’s easy to be more humble than the average person, or at least convince myself that I am.
But, when Jesus is seen as the standard for humility, I get humbled.

Do you know that drinking coffee is a sin according to the Bible?
Yes, the Bible says in Hebrews 3:16 (KJV):
“And the Lord spake, saying, Thou shalt not drink of the bitter brew, for it stirreth the flesh and maketh the heart depend upon the morning cup.”
Hold up!
Before you start throwing away your coffee, please open your Bible and look for that verse!
This is exactly why you must learn to study Scripture for yourself. Don’t believe everything someone tells you simply because they attach a Bible verse to it or quote it with confidence.
Some people will confidently preach from books that don’t even exist, and if you don’t know your Bible, you’ll be saying Amen!
The Bereans were commended because they examined the Scriptures daily to verify what they were being taught (Acts 17:11).
Don’t just listen to sermons. Study the Word. Test every teaching against Scripture.
If you don’t know what is written, you can easily be deceived by what someone claims is written.

Did you know that some people believe that the apostle John never died and is hiding somewhere in the world today?
It will seem like a great irony that the reason they believe this is verse 22 in the passage below. I've talked to someone who holds this view and it was impossible to get them to take seriously not only that verse 22 was a hypothetical point and not a prediction but that verse 23 directly refutes their belief that John never died.
John 21:20–23 (ESV)
20Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them, the one who also had leaned back against him during the supper and had said, “Lord, who is it that is going to betray you?”
21When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?”
22Jesus said to him, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!”
23So the saying spread abroad among the brothers that this disciple was not to die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he was not to die, but, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you?”
Why share this? Just to show that even when the Bible is abundantly clear you will have humans who point to what refutes them as if it is proof their position is biblical. It's a human problem, not a Bible problem.

This!! A lot of people are really misunderstood about this, but I hope that they can come to see just how beautiful, loving, selfless, and compassionate God is, and how amazing what He did for us is. He died so that we could be saved from our sins and the result of our own sins/actions, simply by accepting the free gift of salvation by trusting in Him.
John 3:16-17
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
There’s a reason these are some of the most popular verses in the Bible, because it perfectly embodies Gods character, His love, redemptive plan, and the gospel in one short and sweet message.
One of my friends…He goes, I just can’t believe in a God that would send me to hell just because I don’t believe in Him.
I said, Why is that?
And he goes, Because that’s an ultimatum. Believe in Jesus or go to hell. That sounds manipulative.
I said, Let me ask you something. If a building is already on fire and someone kicks the door open and says, Come out, this is the only way, is that an ultimatum, or is it a rescue?
He said, What do you mean?
I said, Well, you were already going to hell. I was already going to hell. That’s not God being cruel. That’s humanity choosing sin, and that’s justice.
God does not send innocent people to hell. The fact is, there are no innocent people. The standard is perfection. Not better than your neighbor. Not mostly good. Perfection.
I asked him, Have you ever lied? Have you ever lusted? Have you ever hated someone? Have you ever been prideful?
He said, Yeah.
I said, Well, then you’re guilty. I said, To be honest, I have too. We’re all guilty.
And he goes, So you’re telling me it’s believe or just burn?
And I said, No. It’s guilty but rescued. You weren’t standing on neutral ground and God came up and just shoved you toward the fire. You were already falling, and He caught you before you hit the ground.
Jesus didn’t come to threaten you. He came to take your sentence. The Cross was not an ultimatum. It was a substitution.
Justice says the wage of sin is death, but love says, I’ll pay it for you.
A friend asked me, But why make belief the condition?
And I said, Because love can’t be forced. Salvation is not a hostage situation. It’s a gift. If someone pays your debt, you still have to accept it. If you refuse it, the debt doesn’t disappear.
God is not saying, Believe in Me or I’ll torture you. He’s saying, You’re already dying. I made a way. Take it.
Hell is not proof that God is cruel. The Cross is proof that He’s not.
And if you’re wrestling with that same question, it means the door is still open.
