YEAH more Christian Rise fans!! 🙏❤️
I?? YOU'RE CHRISTIAN TOO?????
AhHHHHhhh brOOoooo it's so hard to find genuine Christians anymore 😭😭 especially online. I've been too scared to say that I am one cause likeeee everyone always thinks that It's cringe or they don't agree with the same things as me so they might wanna argueee
No, but I got so excited when I found out that one of my favorite artists (Chiscribbs) was Christian too.
You can answer this ask privately if you want. I'm still not sure if I want people on my blog to know I'm Christian. It's been really bothering me though cause I'm not really supposed to be hiding the fact that I am just to fit in, but I already made mutuals with a lot of people who share opposing beliefs and I really don't want to stirr up conflict with anyone cause then it's not fun anymore. I feel like I should come clean about it, but at the same time, I don't want people to get mad at me or to think that I think I'm better than them or smth. I srsly regret making mutuals with those people now though. I'm trying to be more cautious with who I become mutuals with-
Anyways, sorry for likee dumping all this in your ask box. I just have a lot of respect for people who are openly Christian cause it just seems so scary to me lol
YOOOO! This is literally so cool finding so many awesome rise artists who are Christian too! And you don’t have to share on your blog if you’re Christian, but don’t be afraid to share yourself and Christ to others!
God says that yes, all Christians will receive hate one way or another, that’s just the sad truth. Like, I haven’t seen a single Christian artist out there pushing their values onto others who think differently; it’s usually the other way around, and I would know. But we can do our Best and share our art and Love to others, and ignore haters. Pray for them, actually. They don’t know it, bless them and love them as much as you can!! >:)
BLESSINGS!!! 💕💗

Pray before your travel and pray over your house every day 🙏🏾
"SAFETY FIRST" - EVERY WOMAN & PARENT MUST WATCH THIS VIDEO!! [WITH TEAC...
Because everybody is suddenly fixing their mouths to try (try, because they won't succeed) to defame one of the Lord's prophets.
I'm just sharing her YouTube so others can hear and prepare, because you have to know by now we're in the last days.
Instead of bad mouthing Celestial online, go to God in prayer for proof of her being the real deal. PLEASE don't live to regret calling her all kinds of names online.

Christians are always talking about God's Love and what God can do for us, but rarely about Repentance and how it's one of the things that we can do for God.
I didn't even know what exactly repentance was until last year and it's not just about feeling bad about what you did. You also have to change your ways and commit to that change.
It's difficult.
Do some more research into what repentance really is for yourself, and as always take your questions back to God.

If someone who believes in God with all their heart and soul can pray and it destroys whatever you, a witch has tried to put on them, I wanna know why you haven't fallen to your knees in fear and awe of the Living God yet.
Because He's very real and very powerful and you as a puppet of the devil (because all that 'magic' isn't from you btw) stand no chance.
You have to do all sorts of spells and rituals and wait for certain days and collect certain things.
All they have to do is maintain their relationship with The Most High and pray.
Who's really winning?

People always talk about God's Forgiveness, but they never talk about his Judgement.
Remember, he always warns before he brings down said Judgement. And it's no where near as pretty as my little doodle for today.

Don't you hate it when you think you've found a cool new artist, but then they're like "Hi! I'm an artist and a PSYCHIC MEDIUM"
I just want new artists to watch, not to get tangled up in witchcraft again!
The Strength of a Godly Woman | John Piper Clip
For those who think God put Woman, one of his precious creations, on this earth to solely serve men carnally 🤮🤮
Also for those who don't think there's any strength in womaness. You don't need to be a boss babe feminists icon don't need no man strong independent girl boss baddie b***h.
Put your trust, hope, happiness, fears and love in God first, foremost and above all. Everything else will fall into place as he intends.

Telling me that 'God is with you' when I'm struggling to be with him don't help any, my friend.
I know he's with me. I'm here and alive enough to be annoyed at your empty platitudes, Praise be the Lord.
We're supposed to physically help one another. God gave us physical bodies to interact so that we can interact!
If you can help, shut your mouth and help!

I'm curious, what do you think of 1st Corinthians 14:34-35?
What we think of it doesn’t matter; what I think of it matters even less; what it says is what matters. It’s the Word of God.
“The women are to keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says. But if they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in church.”
Everyone’s got a problem with that because it sounds like the Bible is saying women can’t ever talk in church at all. That’s not what it’s saying, though. You know why? Because this is two verses plucked straight out of a book that has 437 verses in it. That’s like if I read two sentences out of the middle of one of your emails to a close family member and took issue with whatever those two sentences said. Even though the context determines the meaning, so I have no right to get offended when I don’t understand the context. So what’s the context of 1 Corinthians by the time you get to 14:34-35?
The Apostle Paul is writing to a church in the Gentile city of Corinth in AD 53 or 54. That church was a blend of Jewish Christians and Greek Christians. Two completely different cultures were figuring out what the “assembly of the saints,” or “the first church services” were supposed to look like. And to make matters more complicated, they lived in one of the most morally bankrupt cities of that age. Literally, the Corinthian people had a Greek word coined to describe their immorality. So the people who lived there were generally all messed up, in terms of not knowing what was right and what was wrong. That extended to their church services.
The whole context of 1 Corinthians is “what is a church that glorifies the Lord supposed to look like?” The context of the specific chapter, 14, is “what should church assembly that glorifies the Lord look like? What should it not look like?”
How do I know? Read the verses that come before it. At the beginning of the chapter, Paul explains that spiritual gifts are for edifying other people. In fact, everything done in a church service, where the saints are gathered, is not for an individual. It’s for the edification of the whole group. So what might be okay to do in your own home or in private between you and God is not okay, because it’s not mindful, considerate, or edifying to other Christians when you’re in a church service.
Specifically, the Corinthians are all claiming to “prophesy” (get direct revelation from God) and “speak in tongues” (speak in known, but various and foreign, languages) all at once during the service. Everybody’s shouting over each other. Some people are shouting over each other “THUS SAYS THE LORD,” which is a huge deal. Because obviously if you’re going to claim that God has told you something, everyone should shut up, listen, and determine whether or not you’re telling the truth, because what could be a bigger deal than God speaking? But that’s not how the church in Corinth was treating it. Their services were helping nobody, least of all themselves, because it was loud chaotic pandemonium and nobody I was being edified. Everybody was shouting and judging. Including women. By verse 26, Paul is going:
“What is the outcome then, brothers? When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has a translation. Let all things be done for edification. If anyone speaks in a tongue, it should be by two or at the most three, and each in turn, and one must translate; but if there is no translator, he must keep silent in the church, and let him speak to himself and to God. And let two or three prophets speak, and let the others pass judgment. But if a revelation is made to another who is seated, the first one must keep silent. For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all may be exhorted. And the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets; for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.”
And then he adds,
“The women are to keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says. But if they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in church. Was it from you that the word of God first went forth? Or has it arrived to you only?
“If anyone thinks he is a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that the things which I write to you are the Lord’s commandment. But if anyone remains ignorant about this, he is ignored by God.
“Therefore, my brothers, earnestly desire to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak in tongues. But all things must be done properly and in an orderly manner.”
Do you get it? The point is, “what does this specific situation, which is a church service, look like if we’re trying to do things in a God-honoring, orderly manner? Here’s what it does not look like: women can’t just stand up in church and take up the role of judge over men who are shouting that they are speaking from God, and call certain men impostors and certain men prophets.”
The point is not “all women should never ever speak in all church services because that’s disgraceful, they only get to talk to their husbands and get told what to do.”
If it were, then explain to me why, three chapters earlier, when he’s talking about head-coverings, Paul writes that women can prophesy in public?
“But every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying, shames her head, for she is one and the same as the woman whose head is shaved.”
(if you want to talk about why the heck a woman has to have her head covered when she prophesies, blah blah blah, let’s talk about that too, but the answer’s going to be the same: context determines meaning, meaning is correct interpretation, etc.)
Additionally, why would Paul be commending the women in the church who have taught their sons and grandsons? How can they teach if they’re never allowed to talk in church, or if their only role in all contexts is “shut up and learn?”
Because that’s not their only biblical role. And that’s not what Paul was saying. Paul was saying, “in this specific context, here’s how a woman (among all the other people groups I’m also addressing) should conduct herself when the goal is to edify the believers in a church service, and not let anything get in the way of that goal.”
Now.
Guess what?
If the Bible did say, “all women shut up and listen all the time, let the men do the talking,” would you listen to it?
You, reading this. Would you have a problem with it? If that’s what God Sid to do, would you sit in judgement over God and say, “no, infinite Creator of all matter and life, You’re mistaken about how You should be worshipped and what these little creatures You made are for, let me correct and educate You with the judgement coming out of the three-pound lump of gray matter, which You designed and graciously allowed me to have in the first place, sitting inside my skull. Let me, the creature, tell You, the Creator, where you’re wrong and what ‘Being God’ should be like.”
I hope not. But I was super convicted reading this chapter for the first time and finding myself a) misunderstanding it and then b) having the appalling gall and arrogance to be outraged by it.
Who in the world am I? Who am I to be outraged, if God did say, “be quiet and spend your life listening to men?” If that were what He was saying, my response should be, “Yes, Lord.”
Why are we so concerned about being allowed to speak? What do we have to say that’s so great, that’s so necessary, that’s so devastating to have “removed” from us, anyway? Why do we care so much about being heard? Is it because we have something to say that could really help men, in the church services? Oh, really? And if we women don’t say it, God won’t edify the men? He’ll be handicapped because we were muzzled?
What’s so offensive about being told to stop talking and ask questions to learn, anyway? Why is that so infuriating, to us? We’re fools. The whole point of the Gospel is, “He (Jesus) must increase; I must decrease.” The best place in the world to be is at the feet of Jesus, learning. Humble. Not producing anything of ourselves, but absorbing everything He has to teach us. Who cares if it’s our husbands He plans to do that through? Who cares if we can’t teach men in church? What, we think God can’t handle that? We think He can’t teach them His own way, that His plan was flawed, that they’re “missing out” because God dropped the ball by telling us not to stand up in service and disrupt everything with this great ‘word’ we have, that nobody else has?
Ugh. God forgive me for ever even approaching a mindset that thinks I have something to say, and if I don’t say it, He won’t be able to accomplish His will. God forgive me for ever thinking my Western modern culture knows better than His divine plan. He designed human beings and men and women and what would best serve us before “culture” or “social frameworks” were ever even conceived of.
We all need to be a lot more humble. Me first.
I would encourage you to test what I said. If you read this, you should spend an equal amount of time studying the Bible for yourself and seeing if I was right, and if that’s really what God said and meant, based on the context, which determines meaning, because there is such a thing as “correct and incorrect interpretation” when the God of the universe meant something by what He said. And I could’ve gotten it wrong. And you don’t want to get it wrong.
Don't get it twisted. Jesus didn't hang out with prostitutes because He approved of their lifestyle. He engaged with them - He loved them! - because they were in desperate need of a Savior. Real love doesn't tolerate sin. Real love holds you in His arms and asks, "Child, why do you keep hurting yourself like this?"

I was watching one of her videos and what she said inspired this doodle. Prophets are alive and (sort of) well in the 21st century.
A reminder of this ends up on the wrong side of Tumblr: I don't 'debate' or argue on the internet! If you try me, you will be arguing with the wall, because I won't be here for you to 'debate' with.
God bless you, because we all really need some blessings in these times.

Women were NOT put on this earth to serve men, get married as soon as they turn 18 and pop out a hundred and one babies before 25.
Women were put on this earth to serve GOD and glorify him in everything that they do. Marriage and motherhood is one way, not the way.
I don't really talk about being a Christian on here, because ever since reading the Bible in full for the first time ever, I realised that I knew nothing about the faith that I was born into.
I don't want to be out here saying wrong stuff that would lead people to the devil instead of God.
So I'm just gonna stay quiet, read the Bible again, get back into daily prayer and like/reblog cool Christian posts on my blog 💁♀️
And make art of course. I have so many cool Bible-themed art ideas!

KJV Psalm 91 : 4
'He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler'
This is a psalm for protection that I keep seeing mentioned and I've decided to memorise it.
I stopped doing it, so I need to get back into it, but what I do is read the psalm out loud every morning, because the same way we memorise songs by hearing them over and over is the same way we can memorise The Word.

Getting Back Into Writing
I took a creative writing course in 2022 with my local university, because I wanted to get back into writing. I used to write every day when I was in secondary school and gave up the habit after graduating and getting busier with life.
Taking the course was a great decision! Our tutor was really cool and he gave us great tools when it came to planning out our stories. I tended to be all over the place with my planning and always got stuck.
These are the three stories that I wrote for my final assignment. I wrote part of one on my phone while waiting to take my picture for my new I.D. card, I wrote the other from a sliver of an idea that just blossomed flawlessly and the last was a story idea I had since I was 15 years old and was never able to get down on paper. I typed the bare bones into a document at 2 am and perfected it later in the day after getting some sleep.

Wow, another year already? Man, last year was crazy. Like, every month, there was something crazy.
But despite that, I'm sure some of you all had some wonderful times in 2024. What were they?
And what do you hope for this upcoming year?
Whatever it may be, may God bless you all and keep everyone in your lives safe this blessed year in His name we pray, Amen and welcome, 2025 in the year of our Lord.

You know, I think it's nice that the story of the Samaritan woman is in the Bible. Like, in those times, women were not often given very many freedoms, and not often mentioned in texts, so I enjoy it very much.
And also, I think it's very nice because Jesus is just hanging out at a well, vibing, as one does, and He offers this lady---whose people hate his people---the love of Christ. Like He is SUPPOSED to not like this lady because of her culture and her people; Jewish people in that time would literally WALK AROUND Samaria just so they didn't have to talk to the people there (That's also what the Disciples wanted to do)!
So Jesus coming to this woman out of the blue, forgiving her of any sins she had committed, and generally being kind to her in a time of sexism cultural dislike is AMAZING! Not only is He defying societal norms by going through Samaria and seeing the people there, He's also speaking with this woman because he wanted to! Because He cared!
Jesus doesn't care what your past is, where you come from, or if you've done wrong in your life. He loves YOU, regardless of what you've done in the past.
And I just
I like that.

hi all, this is oddly specific but a friendly reminder to check up on your queer/trans friends with catholic backgrounds today!
the pope is dead. there are varying feelings going around this, but many of us are scared because pope franics was honestly relatively considerate of the lgbtq+ community (for a pope), and the next pope is not super likely to be, which affects way more than you'd think in some religious communities and households.
