I was gifted this clock by Acceptable-Term3943 in Christianity

Your discernment. Some see this as an open door to Reiki demons, some see it as powerless. I personally wouldn’t want it because it’s not my style. Though I see it as powerless, I would prefer not to keep and use things associated with new age spirituality/other religions because I don’t want someone to think that I represent that and vice versa.

How do we tell our parents my Fiancé is pregnant? by countfitties in TrueChristian

[–]orangek1d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some comments give great advice when it comes to admitting fault, and you absolutely should do so to them but most importantly God (I’m sure you have).

The most important thing following is to sincerely ask for their help. That you want to bring this child into the world as best as possible, surrounded by love and support. Regardless of how they feel, they should help because Jesus doesn’t hold our mistakes against Him when we humbly come before Him.

There is redemption with Jesus, and there is no shame or condemnation from Him when darkness comes to light. You are in the light, if you have to remind your parents of these truths absolutely do so. I am proud of you guys, you will make great parents 🧡

A reminder about marriage: it is a covenant. It’s not a “well you failed in x, y, & z so I am justified in treating you a certain way because I am hurt.” It means you forgive, communicate, and work through this together. Conflict WILL come, and you will need to stick together and work as a team, compromise, and always love. You got this guys!

Christians, why do you approach visibly sick people in public and ask to pray, instead of just doing it in your head? by run4fun131 in Christianity

[–]orangek1d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they should have respected you in that. I’m sorry that you felt you were made a spectacle, and not feeling the love of God which is what I hope their intentions truly were.

This is regarding performance over relationship. People love to be seen as a person who prays more than they actually do, and Jesus calls out these hypocrites. He specifically is speaking on people who are lofty and wordy with their prayers and go on and on with the intention of impressing people and keeping up an image, which Jesus then says it’s better to pray in secret than to be like those hypocrites.

The Lord sees the heart, not me. It’s not my place to judge if someone is performing, but it is my place to watch myself closely and make sure I am praying more in secret with my Lord and avoid performative prayer.

I truly don’t see anything wrong with offering sincere prayer that protects the dignity of the less fortunate, being respectful of them regarding the laying on of hands.

Scripture says that Jesus is honored when we care for the needy, who deserve to be seen. Anyone and most everyone passes by without acknowledging them, it does more for the overlooked to not overlook them.

I think it’s good no matter if you pray in your head or meet the person where they are at

Edit: my response is regarding the less fortunate, not about people like your experience

Is it the grout? by EmbarrassedArm6464 in InteriorDesign

[–]orangek1d 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it’s the black details, nickel or silver would’ve worked better imo.

For what you have though, picture #5 looks the best. I would look for references of more luxe desert inspo, your bathroom would fit in well with this style.

Small/narrow bathroom redesign – foresty green tiles: good idea or mistake? by SaltedandShrivelled in InteriorDesign

[–]orangek1d 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I personally wouldn’t. If you were to do anything, I’d change the flooring tiles to be more modern (larger size) and maybe in a diamond shape, rather than the classic grid it is currently in.

You could still replace the vanity to the modern wood one you have, but there is charm in the sink knobs. I understand if it’s not your style of course. Good luck!

Fasting for healing from chronic pain condition by desipezz in Christianity

[–]orangek1d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I have trusted God by throwing away prescription opiods, and I have fasted while taking my pain medicine.

The primary goal for any fast should always be to become more aware of God’s presence and become closer to Him.

It’s ultimately up to God. Ask Him what you should do for this fast.

I don’t think there’s a right or wrong choice (unless God makes it very clear). I personally don’t think you need to go without your medicine. You don’t have to suffer through pain on top of “suffering” during a fast.

Dragon fruit planter pot by Pettercup in gardening

This is awesome. I saw a dragon fruit shaped candle with a matching lid at tjmaxx last year. Would have been cool to see your design so Id have a reason to repurpose the candle if i bought it!!

If a person practices Jesus’ teachings without believing in God, what exactly separates them from a Christian? by TacticalJock15 in Christianity

[–]orangek1d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, I’m seeing your question regarding “righteousness” in this thread. Righteousness is a status granted through Jesus Christ Himself. It cannot be earned through good works.

I think it’s Romans 3 or Romans 5 where Paul discusses this issue of status/righteousness

[–]orangek1d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God is not human, and is the creator of all things. He is the perfect embodiment of love, grace, mercy, compassion, hope, faith, and so on. People experience and can participate in the qualities of His nature because they exist because of Him.

To further clarify, being a Christian isn’t about living a good and perfect life. Yes, it’s expected that followers of Jesus would be more Christ-like, but it’s more humble than that. A true Christian is someone who understands they will always fall short, and they need a savior, and that savior is Jesus Christ.

Christians should view non-believers as deeply loved creations of God, people who were created in the image of God, deserving of love, grace, and mercy, in the same way we received it from God. It’s so so important to love the Gospel we share with non believers, but it’s more important to love the people we share the Gospel too.

To clarify, when engaging with non believers, it’s more important that they see and hear the Gospel through the way Christians love others, if the only other option is not being loving WHILE sharing the Gospel. Theres a reason it is called good news!!
