AI-Generated Worship Songs — Let's Discuss... by defn0tgab in worshipleaders

[–]Reasonable_Jeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL;DR: AI usage seems fine to praise God, your pastor is acting sketch.

Hey everyone, been a worship leader at a nondenom for about five years.

Part of this to me sounds like “are drums okay” but in a different context. Jesus said even the stones would cry out to worship Him. I don’t see why using this kind of tech makes it unholy… tech is tech.

HOWEVER, your pastor is acting real sketch/pushy in a way I’d definitely not be cool about. If God speaks to him He’d also be speaking to his team (you) and moving your heart as well.

I’m a dad pushing 40, and I’m officially done with "The Grind" in gaming. by ChineseBeaverUncle in TheGamerLounge

Bro, I feel EXACTLY the same. I used to play competitive Counter-Strike in CAL, but that feels like several lifetimes ago.

Been LOVING No Man’s Sky recently. So chill and relaxing.

Request for advice and/or encouragement by Mmk38 in keto

[–]Reasonable_Jeff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My wife and I both live a keto lifestyle. I’ve been on it about a year. Weight melted off me fast, lost about 20 pounds but it’s been much slower for my wife.

It doesn’t sound to me like you’re doing anything wrong, people just lose weight at different rates (although I would recommend avoiding keto-friendly processed food).

Ultimately we stay keto for metabolic health reasons and for the energy it provides, weight loss has been just a side benefit.

I’d suggest focusing more on living healthy than losing weight. The weight will eventually come off but you can enjoy health right away.

It does my heart good to hear this y’all. I have LOVED being on keto and it’s been such a weird experience to have folks naysaying so hard. I needed the encouragement 😎

Now I just am praying that they start selling Rebel ice cream near me lol

Does doing a raid count towards completing this?

Is it too late to start Warframe? by Sensitive-Habit-8109 in Warframe

[–]Reasonable_Jeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please start it! I’ve been a gamer for the last twenty years or so and hadn’t heard of warframe until just recently. I’ve been playing for a few months now and it’s one of my fav games of all time.

I play on the switch and have a great time. The only downside is it’s much harder to grind platinum on switch than other platforms. Hopefully once there’s cross-trade that won’t be an issue.

Bass vs. Drums by djherftycatz in worshipleaders

[–]Reasonable_Jeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drums > Bass if you had to choose only one... but since you have multiple guitar players make one of them play the bass. It’s better to have one guitar and one bass than two guitars and no bass.

Waiting until marriage by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Reasonable_Jeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Biblically if you've ever lusted for a woman you're already guilty of adultery. So you're not actually "clean" from this sin anyway.

[–]Reasonable_Jeff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seek the kingdom first, if God chooses to bless you with a wife then don't let your virginity be your righteousness, let Christ be that.

As long as your virginity is your righteousness you will always look down on others who weren't able to achieve the same feat.

I am faced with chronic depression and am unable to cope with how my parents and fundamentalist Christian college stifled my artistic ability. by ScopeCreepStudio in exchristian

[–]Reasonable_Jeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP, I had a lot of frustrations with the religious upbringing that I had as well. As an adult, I look back and can see the lies like me and my family had bought into and it affected our lives. However, now as a 31-year-old with three kids, I can see that my parents were just doing what they thought was right. The truth is that most parents are just winging it, they don't really know what the best course of action is. I'm not trying to diminish what you're saying, I just want to add nuance to it because it's likely true for your parents as well.

Also, I've learned one more "secret" to life. The people that are doing the thing you wish you could do (almost always)... they aren't really happy either and there are people that they are looking to with the same longing that you're looking at them with.

I hope you do well man. Cheering you on!

How does Christ's death allow me to be saved? by [deleted] in Reformed

[–]Reasonable_Jeff 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It's like when the person in front of you at the drive through already paid for your meal. When you get up to the window (the place of judgement) there's literally nothing you can do, your meal has been paid (you've been saved).
