SRW Thankful Christians!

Believe with me November 8, 2026 Jesus didn’t say, “Repeat after me, and I’ll see you when you die.” He said, “Follow me.” The gospel is the announcement that Jesus Christ is Lord. The promised King came, died for our sins, was buried, rose from the dead, and reigns today. That news calls for a response. Repent. Turn from your sin. You’ve been running your own life. It’s not working out so well, is it? Believe. Put your trust in Jesus, in who he is and what he accomplished through his death and resurrection. Be baptized. Publicly identify with him. Become part of his people and learn to walk in his ways. Can that begin with a prayer? Absolutely. Call on him. Ask for mercy. But understand who you’re calling on. He’s the risen Lord, and his invitation is to follow him with your whole life. You don’t earn his grace by getting your act together. You come because you need his grace, and that grace begins changing you. Your money. Your mouth. Your relationships. How you treat people when you’re tired, angry, or convinced you’re right. He can help with all of that. And when you stumble, you return to the Savior whose mercy brought you here in the first place. The King who calls you to surrender is the King who gave himself to save you. He’s worthy of your trust. Follow him.

You’re not allowed to sing or show your face or have an opinion or be happy or be proud of anything. Your micro-bladed brows, makeup, and fake lashes are anathema. 74 lashes for you. Your social media and travel is now banned. Up to 15 years in prison and a hijab clinic. Pay two million rials. Now go read “Law on Protecting the Family through the Promotion of the Culture of Chastity and Hijab.” Oh yeah…you’re not allowed to read.
