LISTEN UP. It takes discernment to recognize real love. You’ve heard that love is an action? Not exactly true. You’ve heard that love gives, therefore giving is proof of love? Not true either
Selfish people could be momentarily generous for future gain. #thread#Pstirensaid
Paul says:
“If I give away all I have, nd I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing” 1 Cor 12:3
So you can give all your money and not be walking in love. You can surrender your very body for buffeting but for sheer heroism and not love #Pstirensaid
Love is a motive. It’s not just in the what, but in the why.
Without the right motives, religion becomes dangerous and I dare say destructive. Once love is no more the motive, devotion becomes the destructive opium of the masses. #Pstirensaid
Whatever else you are or you do, if you don’t “love”, you are nothing.
And as a Church, if we forget our WHY, we’d be dedicated but dangerous. Devoted but fruitless. Committed but without real transformation. Let’s rediscover our WHY. #Pstirensaid

You prolly imagined God making the soldiers freeze involuntarily (like Lot’s wife turned pillar of salt). Or rain down fire (like in Sodom and Gomorrah). The Bible is replete with such stories, therefore such faith is not unfounded. So then Why didn’t such happen? #pstirensaid
1.“God is not SLACK...but is LONGSUFFERING..., not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to the knowledge of the truth. 2 Peter 3:9
Simply put, when God doesn’t judge wickedness instantly, don’t call God slack when He is being longsuffering #pstirensaid
Well first, I already preached a sermon on this topic. So if you're interested, check out ccing.org/sermon/can-a-w…. Or you can just check your favourite podcast platform.
Let's get the thread started!
The first thing to note is that 2 Timothy 2:15 says that there is a right way to divide ‘the word of truth’ and it must be done diligently.
One way to be diligent in understanding Biblical truth is to understand the rules of biblical interpretation.
PEOPLE STILL BELIEVE THE BIBLE FORBIDS WOMEN WEARING TROUSERS? Such a pity.
Misinformation has done way more harm than ignorance.

So I dropped my car for repairs yesterday and had to BOLT everywhere.
Beautiful thing about using Cabs is that I get to engage the drivers on a number of topics...especially salvation.
Turns out driving your car May affect your evangelical “drive”, lol. Okay, back to d point
The first guy (Muslim) told me that Jesus categorically promised in the Bible, that Prophet Mohammed was coming. He claimed Jesus actually mentioned the name “Mohammed” specifically.
I have promised to give him 5k if he finds the text. It’s been 12hrs now but...guess he’s busy.
