what’s the biggest miracle you’ve seen in your own life?

This may seem lackluster, but that He sustains me. That I keep coming back to Him over and over because of Who He is and what He has done in my life; His indwelling Spirit. There are things that sometimes don't make sense about following Christ, dying to yourself, obeying His Word and ways over what you "want" to do, what the world says, what your flesh says, and the fact that He has given me a deep love for Himself in me. This is a miracle: that He loves me and won't let me go. I love Him so much I could cry, I want to be with Him, and He is my Lord, God and King; this is my miracle. His grace in my many imperfections and rebellings. Why is He so good to me? His grace.

Do you know why the debate about if the earth is round or flat is a big deal to the Christian community? I’ve been seeing people talk about it, but I don’t know why it’s significant.

I don't think this is a big deal to Christians, I haven't seen this discourse personally. The earth is round. I think we should be more careful to obey God's Word with what we do know (to make disciples, to love our neighbors as ourselves, to bring glory to Him with our lives, and so on) than pondering something that means nothing compared to the importance of salvation and sanctification.

It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain and spreads them out like a tent to live in. Isaiah 40:22

Scripture is superior to all human wisdom.

–John Calvin

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 1 Corinthians 1:25

"and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are," 1 Corinthians 1:28

“The gospel has never moved through history, filling the redemptive plan, by relying on the prestige of influential personalities. It moves, for the most part, with us—the unimpressive, impotent, nothing, nobodies.”

— John MacArthur, Hard to Believe, p. 42

Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

Galatians 1:10

Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path. Psalm 119:105

To walk safely in the woods at night we need a light so we don't trip over tree roots or fall into holes. In this life, we walk through a dark forest of evil. But the Bible can be our light to show us the way ahead so we won't stumble as we walk. It reveals the entangling roots of false values and philosophies.

Study the Bible so you will be able to see your way clear enough to stay on the right path.
