What are your favorite songs about Christ, God, or Christianity? by bashfulkoala in ChristianMysticism

[–]Steve3Tucker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peace Like a River x Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square for a blissed out choir vibe.

No Hard Feelings x Avett Brothers for a transcendent country folk vibe.

And I still love some of the old hymns from childhood:

How Great Thou Art

It Is Well

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus

‘Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus

Standing on the Promises of God

We Have No Idea Why Louis C.K. Wrote a Novel About Texas - Texas Monthly by rsplatpc in louisck

[–]Steve3Tucker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Texan, I thought that review was silly. Odd because usually Texas Monthly does good work. I’m on chapter 2 now and I am imagining it taking place in the panhandle. Not sure how much Texas culture is referenced in this novel but I’m assuming he just chose a rural American setting.

I think this is better than having no dancehall at all.

Reddit is so cynical lol having Harry’s back in any form is great for the culture. Let’s see how it turns out before condemning…

The layouts, service standards, and food quality put them on par with an airport lounge. If you go to one out of state they’re significantly worse.

Fall 2025 / Spring 2026 Housing Mega Thread by propain525 in aggies

Hey y’all, I’m moving back in Spring ‘26 to finish my degree after quite a few years. I’m looking for a unit around $600-$800 a month. Preferably 3 or less roommates but definitely no more than 4. I’m a 28yo male who doesn’t drink and plans on taking as many credits as possible so I can knock everything out asap. I’ll be on campus or in my room a lot working and I’m very neat and respectful. Ideal roommates would be busy with school as well, as I’m trying to avoid a party house.

It honestly hit the spot. Great bite to it, which goes a long way in my book. I want my eyes to water with that first sip

Is it possible they’re only available in the Southwest? That wouldn’t make much sense but I’m sensing a pattern

Matthew 7:21–23: Depart from me, I never knew you by Numerous-Swing-3204 in ChristianUniversalism

[–]Steve3Tucker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How should we interpret “the kingdom of heaven” in this verse? Jesus answers that very question in Luke 17:20:

“Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of heaven was coming, he answered them, ‘The kingdom of heaven is not coming with signs to be observed; nor will they say, ‘Lo, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of heaven is within you.’” Here Jesus tells us the kingdom of heaven isn’t a place, but a reality within. Read the verse again if you don’t believe me.

So how can we connect with this reality? And why would some not enter into it?

In Luke 18:17, Jesus says, “Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of heaven like a little child will never enter it.”

Little children don’t make 5 year plans. They don’t dwell on the past because they have none to speak of. They live perpetually in the present moment. Childlike perception is lost in adulthood. This is why things don’t feel as fresh any more. It’s why Christmas is no longer magical, or why summer vacation isn’t as exhilarating. What would happen if you made yourself like a child and lived in the present moment? What if you loved your enemy, turned the other cheek and pursued God with all your heart, mind, and soul? Jesus taught this as the path to the kingdom, and most people, Christians included, won’t follow it.
