Just a couple of days ago I was in conversation with someone who grew up in a pastor's household but fell away. She is now thinking of returning to God, but finding it hard to accept that Jesus is the only way to God, especially thinking of all the different religions people follow in the world. As our friendship develops by God's grace, I'm so thankful for this timely word that I might speak to her in encouragement & challenge. All the other gods are idols, but the Lord made the heavens. Jesus IS this same Lord! Only He, God come in flesh, can resolve the sin situation of our souls. No other religion solves this actual problem, because no other religion has Jesus, the Lord, in truth. Thank you for your labours of love, Desiring God & John Piper ❤️

John 13:34❤-35❤
And Romans 8:28-30😊❤Revelation 10:1-11( The Angel and the Little Scroll)
Revelation 10:1-4
"10 Then I ( John) another mighty angel coming dowm from heaven. He was robed in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head; his face was like the sun, and  his legs were like fiery pillars.
2 He was was holding a little scroll, which lay open in his hand. He planted his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,
3 and he gave a loud shout likw the roar of a lion. When he shouted, the voices of the seven thunders spoke.
4 And when the seven thunders spoke,   I was about to write;  but I hears a voice from heaven say, " Seal up what the seven thunders have said and do not write it down."
5 Then the angel I had seen standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven.
6 And he swore by him who lives for ever and ever, who created the heavens and all that is in them, the earth and all that is in it, and the sea and all that is in it, and said, " There will be no more delay! 
7 But in the days when the seven angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets."
8 Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me once more:
" God,   take the scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land."
9 So I went to the angel and asked him to give ms the little scroll. He said to me, " Take❤ it ❤and eat❤ it❤.  It ❤ will turn your stomach sour,
but 😊❤in your mouth will be as sweet😊❤ as ( like) honey😊❤."
10 I ( John ❤) took❤ the little scroll❤😊 from the angel's hand❤ and ate it❤. It ( The little scroll❤) tasted as sweet❤ as honey❤ in my mouth❤, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour.
11 Then I was told, " You❤ must ❤prophesy❤ again❤ about many peoples
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤, nations, languages
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
and kings
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤."( Revelation 10:1-11 Zondervan NIV Study Bible. All parenthesis parts and symbolsa are meant for and in Christ learning purposes in Christ Jesus😊1st❤. In Jesus'name, i pray( Revelation 19:16😊❤). Amen.

Let the prophets speak two or three and the other judge. Covet to prophesy and forbid not speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance.

[robynahgreen]

One ting brother, *God* and *foresee* cannot Truely go together in a sentence. *Foresee* gently takes control out of His hands and that's a lie. God preordains, pre-plans, predestinates: *foresee* puts God in subjection to the ordinance of time/events. He is sovereign, how can this be?

[Mando-dk]

“Therefore, Christians communicate a falsehood to unbelievers when we act as if policies and laws that protect life and freedom are more precious than being a certain kind of person. The church is paying dearly, and will continue to pay, for our communicating this falsehood year after year.” (Piper? Really? Churches aren’t supposed to protect life? Didn’t Jesus say He came so we could have LIFE more abundantly? That is one price I am more than willing to pay. If your "church" is unwilling to do that it isn't worth a bucket of warm snot.)
