Revelation 3:7....which is completely out of context and leaves out the rest of the verse "until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads." It makes me cringe when I see it.

But what I do love is that I can go on Instagram and be reminded of truth, that I can be pushed towards looking something up (in context) in my own Bible, that it can be a platform to encourage and remind people of the truth that does sustain when we approach it as our daily bread. I know often Instagram and the Internet can be more of my daily bread than his word, and I suppose there's grace showed in that his word can be found there too.

Not the artist or the T-shirt. The gospel is GOOD news...it should be shared as such and rejoiced in beauty.

My first-born (35 years old) is a pastor and I had a very similar conversation with him a couple of weeks ago. I can't wait to share this with him. As a mature (older) :+) woman, I love keeping up with you young women, amazing writers and speakers. Y'all are such a blessing to me. Thank you again, God bless you and your family.

Let's encourage each other to continue to dig deeper. But let us also dig deeper in our understanding of where other folks might be in their search for faith. An important thing I learned a few years ago is that not all folks are at the same place in their search or walk. Some are not there yet and may benefit from seeing a verse that encourages them to open the Bible and look deeper. All of our ministries have significance, but let's not degrade others ministry, they have purpose too.Under The Palmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14996442654734939346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892445584591819741.post-16460479500743398832016-10-04T15:49:17.678-07:002016-10-04T15:49:17.678-07:00yeahyeahmikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732468881914936026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892445584591819741.post-80244763963821588832016-10-04T12:58:53.696-07:002016-10-04T12:58:53.696-07:00I saw a graphic of a verse that implied girl power...I saw a graphic of a verse that implied girl power, and it made me very uncomfortable. <br /><br />"The Lord is within her, she will not fail" just sounded odd to me, so I investigated. <br /><br />There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day. Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts.<br />Psalm 46:4-6 NIV<br />http://bible.com/111/psa.46.4-6.NIV<br /><br />Read in context, it's not about a woman at all, but about the city of God. Context is so important. Using scripture for our own purposes is dangerous. God doesn't like it. <br /><br />“Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. Do not add to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar.<br />Eccles. 30:5-6 NIV<br />http://bible.com/111/pro.30.5-6.NIV<br /><br /><br />Let's strive to be those who rightly handle the word of truth. <br /><br />Thanks for pointing this out.
