Proverbs 14:23 (NIV)
"All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty."
Galatians 6:9 (NIV)
"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
1 Timothy 5:1-2 NIV
[1] Do not rebuke an older man harshly, but exhort him as if he were your father. Treat younger men as brothers, [2] older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity.
Belief is significant to your life. Not belief in any one thing, but beliefs you hold that determine any one direction you take.
That said, with my utmost sincerity; Christ is King. The God of peace.
What a faith we have to follow, it brings so much joy and peace, more so than any other thing, person, or belief you could hold with you.
The significance and impact on your perspective it gives you is just.. insane.. So much so, that I'm willing to give my life here on earth away to tell you that it is the TRUTH, THE WAY, IT IS THE LIFE.
I was an atheist just over about a year ago. I too found these testimonies cringe. I just have nothing of more value to add here.
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye."
Read Matthew 7
I don't think those verses relate to judging another very well.
See: Matthew 7:1-2, Luke 6:37, Romans 14:10 and one of my favorites John 8:7
It's clear. Judging another is not our place
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." - Romans 3:23
"The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." - Romans 6:23
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." - 1 John 1:9
"God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." - Romans 5:8
"For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do." - Romans 7:19

Saylor early to cell phones, tech stonks and now megabullish bitcoiner. I reckon his story will be told for a while into the future. He's the Buckminster Fuller of the current day
And of his fulnesse haue all we receiued, and grace for grace. For the Lawe was giuen by Moses, but grace, and trueth came by Iesus Christ. No man hath seene God at any time: that onely begotten Sonne, which is in the bosome of the Father, he hath declared him.
John 1:16-18 GNV

For God loued so the world, that he yaf his `oon bigetun sone, that ech man that bileueth in him perische not, but haue euerlastynge lijf.
John 3:16 in Wycliffe Bible (1382)
Gooood morning.
When you pass on, your soul will separate from your body, and you'll find it was all just a short dream. You'll kneel before God and answer to him.
Pondering this brings to question what your purpose here is, and that is to love God and love one another.
So just have fun with it. Life ain't so serious. Live today and worry not. God bless you ✝
In South Africa, we keep coins for car guards, petrol attendants, and the unlimited wave of street beggers. If you have too many on hand, consider giving 💯
Too many brothers out here anxiously trying to make their own decisions for themselves, rather than trusting Him to lead ✝
Look at the birds; for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? Matthew 6:26-27
Proverbs 28 :13-14 “He who covers his sins will not prosper, But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy. Happy is the man who is always reverent, But he who hardens his heart will fall into calamity.”
The differences in alternate versions of the bible are worrying
Proverbs 25: 27 GNV
It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory, is not glory.
Proverbs 25: 27 NIV
It is not good to eat too much honey, nor is it honorable to search out matters that are too deep
...WHAT!?
I've still got Twitter... when I get angry at crypto people and need to bark it out or expose them, nostr isn't really the right place. My fruitless opinions might reach a normie or two on Twitter
"You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,"
Matthew 5: 43-44 ✝
"If a man steal an ox or a sheep, and kill it or sell it, he shall restore five oxen for the ox, and four sheep for the sheep.
If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, no blood shall be shed for him."
Exodus 22:1-2
Since learning of Jesus' teachings; my energy, work ethic and service for others has been renewed. My perspective of the gift of life and the abundance offered to us has manifest. My purpose has changed from a selfish to a selfless one, and not even death can overcome it.

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40:30-31 ✝
“When wisdom enters your heart, And knowledge is pleasant to your soul, Discretion will preserve you; Understanding will keep you, To deliver you from the way of evil, From the man who speaks perverse things,”
Proverbs 2:10-12 ✝
Book of Proverbs ❤️🔥
“The wicked man does deceptive work, But he who sows righteousness will have a sure reward. As righteousness leads to life, So he who pursues evil pursues it to his own death.”
Proverbs 11:18-19
Seek righteousness, brother. ✝
In the past the Church was used as a tool to control, and the people put their faith in it
Today money is a tool used to control, and people have put their faith in it
Personally I tell you, that the message of Christ has nothing to do with any of it. The message of Christ is salvation, and true love
God bless you, my brother on #nostr
Say curious. This is reality.
Wanna know something funny?
I was once an atheist, and I've just debated an athiest on whether there's a God or not. I gave the exact arguments I used to disagree with that make total sense to me now, but they didn't back then.
How does Cliffe do it?...
