“Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test!”
2 Corinthians 13:5 ESV

Yes, indeed I am an extremist who happens to believe that crushing a child's skull and sucking his/her brain out should be illegal across the nation.
The teachings of Scripture--not unlike millions of other books--are clear to all who read it.
In the same way that two people with the same recipe will bake the same cake, two people with Scripture will end up believing the same core truths about salvation and godliness.
You cannot be Christ's disciple while you continue holding onto your sin.
You must loosen your tight grip and throw your sin away--kill it--before you can make any valid claim to being a true disciple.

As recipients of grace, we understand (and possess) what the world around us needs: the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
People don't need to hear your story, your opinions, your way of your life, etc.
People need Christ, all that he has, all that he is, and all that he has done for us.

"Salvation is of the Lord."
God not only provided the Way of salvation, but he also decreed the end of salvation--who would be saved.
God is not sitting in heaven, wishing and hoping for sinners to accept Jesus.
Jesus has not atoned for the sins of those who will not be saved.

Please pray for me and my two friends. We three are very close, and one has embraced sin, and now our trio is breaking down because I obeyed God and rebuked her "in a spirit of gentleness" (Gal. 6:1).
Sides are being taken, God's Word is being spurned, and my heart is broken.

Because Twitter seems to fill up my feed with posts and likes from random people that I am not following, I found it helpful to empty my following list.
(Sorry, but this is better than deleting my account for now.)
It feels good to have a completely empty feed.

Story time!
3 years ago, at age 17, I was saved out of false conversion, and my life began to change... as well as my tweeting.
Naturally, I began to post Scripture and theology because that's what I began to dwell upon.

Yet, on the other hand, many of the people I met here who greeted me into the Family of God are no longer supporting me.
Some went crazy (literally), some simply lost touch, and others were seduced by the world.
God used them for my benefit, but it is still bittersweet.

Pretty burnt out on Twitter... in case you couldn't tell.
I miss the days when theological controversies, Scripture, and the Gospel were discussed.
Now it all seems to be about politics, censorship, and things of that nature.
My feed is just full of distractions at this point.

Christians, can we please stop saying "accept Jesus into your heart"? This isn't biblical language. Just about everyone "accepts Jesus" in their heart. Even people who hate Jesus often accept him in some way.
Instead, let's say "Repent and believe in Jesus," like the Bible says.

Life is too short for you and your family to sit under unsound doctrine.

So many people open a Bible and they are being taught to listen for the voice of God-to try to hear what God is saying to them through their Bible. I will tell you what He is saying to you.
'Put your head down, look at the words and read them'- that's what He is saying!
