If the intent behind your prayer is focused on the self (money for a holiday) rather than aligning with the will of Christ, you aren’t praying to God.

If morality is just subjective, then nothing: —slavery, genocide, oppression— Is actually truly wrong. Without God, ‘wrong’ becomes nothing more than an opinion.

Jesus didn’t come to affirm you. He came to transform you. The Gospel isn’t about staying as you are. Rather becoming who you were meant to be.

Denying God doesn’t make Him go away. It just leaves you with ungrounded ‘truths,’ arbitrary morality, and an empty universe. A foundational being is the only explanation for why anything makes sense.

Atheists say, ‘I don’t need God to be moral.’ Sure, you can act morally, but where do your morals come from? Without God, ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ are just preferences, not truths.

Jesus didn’t just teach love. He showed it. Jesus didn’t just preach sacrifice. He lived it. Christianity isn’t about what you think or say; it’s about what you do.

You want to be great? Embrace the grief. You want to be smart? Carry the sorrow. You want to be strong? Endure the struggle. You want to be free? Accept the sacrifice.

Read the Old Testament as a perpetrator. Has the Spirit of God called you to stand against the crowd for what’s right? If so, did you answer the call?

Christ didn’t come to make you religious. He came to set you free. To show you the truth. If you reject Him because of Christians, you’re looking in the wrong place. Look to Christ, not the flawed people who fail Him.

If you’re mad at Christianity because of hypocritical Christians, congratulations, Jesus is mad at them too. Don’t reject Christ because of people who fail Him.

‘I don’t discuss anything except religion and politics.’ Okay so all you care about is doing what you want. Sacrifice the self, follow Christ. If you’re a loser who doesn’t know how to initiate normal conversations just say so.

The original translation of ‘believe’ in Christ is closer to a deep trust or allegiance. Even Satan ‘believes’ in Christ, what he rejects is His plan, His truth, and the ultimate good manifesting as self-sacrificial love.

Romans 7:19-25. I want to do what is good, but I don't. I don't want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway. But if I do what I don't want to do, I am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.
