Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever believes in Me will also do the works that I am doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. John 14:12
Consider Jesus Christ.  His was the greatest life that was lived on the earth. Everyone who has ever been called great pales by comparison to the greatness of Jesus. Greatness in God’s eyes has nothing to do with pomp or being famous in the world’s eyes or having a lot of money.  Being great in God’s sight is to do what God called you to do.  The only greatness in life is what is done for Christ, even in the midst of humble circumstances.
We cannot have greatness in ourselves, but only as God works through us.  We can do great things for God as we are led by Him.  Let the Holy Spirit work in you and lead you to do something great.  That’s the amazing thing about knowing Jesus Christ.  Every day you can do something great with Him and through Him.

“God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, and the insignificant things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are, so that no human may boast before God. But it is due to Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption, so that, just as it is written: ‘LET THE ONE WHO BOASTS, BOAST IN THE LORD.’”
1 Corinthians 1:27-31

Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where, death, is your victory? Where, death, is your sting?

Why yes, I did immediately redraw the one from last week. The design and composition here was what I was originally going to do, but then that didn't happen. So now I have drawn it as it was supposed to be.

For those still thinking that you can be pro-LGBTQ or a gay Christian and still be a bible believing Christian, you literally can't.
You're either one or the other; not both. Homosexuality is still a sin. It doesn't lead to any amount of human flourishing. Doesn't contribute to the 'survival of the fittest' or any other materialistic naturalistic arguments that could be cropped up.
Sin is still sin regardless if its accepted in the society or not. Do I hate lgbtq folk? Nope, but I know people will call me every evil name under the sun because I point out that they live in sin which so happens to be apart of their identity. Ergo, that makes me look like I hate the person. But I don't!
I just see sin and call it as it is. Do I struggle with sin in my own life? Of course, all Christians still struggle with our out of place desires and selfish quirks but we fight. Not by our own strength but by the strength of God Himself; we do not have the power to resist sin on our own. Even in our own sanctification depends on the Spirit of God; not us.
But at the end of the day, you gotta love one or the hate the other. Which one will you choose? Hint: it's not both.

I will say to the LORD, “You are my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Surely He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly plague. He will cover you with His feathers; under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and rampart. Psalm 91:2-4
Assuredly no subtle plot shall succeed against the one who has the eyes of God watching for his defense, we are foolish and weak as poor little birds, and are very apt to be lured to our destruction by cunning foes, but if we dwell near to God, He will see to it that the most skillful deceiver shall not entrap us and no plague will come nigh our dwelling.

Nearly everyone believes God is loving, but there is considerable debate over the width, length, hight and depth of his love. For many, God's love is limited and conditional, offered to some but not others... Grace is God's commitment to love us regardless.
If God is Love by Philip Gulley and Jame Mulholland

This world is a very odd place. I just want to make it perfectly clear. This blog is ran by a Jesus lover. 🤍

"Glory follows afflictions, not as the day follows the night but as the spring follows the winter; for the winter prepares the earth for the spring, so do afflictions sanctified prepare the soul for glory."
