True Love

Image
mylastnameisbaker : I love this cartoon so much, can’t even explain :’) Ephesians 5:21-33 New International Version 1984 (NIV1984) 21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives and Husbands 22 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing[ a ] her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the chur...

Loyal Service

meatandsarcasm :    Philippians 4:3 Yes, and I ask you, loyal yokefellow, help these women who have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.

Children and Parents

Image
fireladyswag : Ephesians 6:1-3 New International Version 1984 (NIV1984) Children and Parents 1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— 3 “that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”[ a ] Colossians 3:20-21 New International Version 1984 (NIV1984) 20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. 21 Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.

Stay Forever

missturdle : windyasylum : I saw this in theaters when I was just a kid.  …  I lol’d so hard at this line… Giggling still, even after we got in the car.  Best. Ever. Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm. For love is as strong as death, its jealousy as enduring as the grave. Love flashes like fire, the brightest kind of flame. (Song of Solomon 8:6 NLT)

Change of Heart

Image
fireladyswag : 1 Samuel 10:9-10 New International Version 1984 (NIV1984) Saul Made King 9 As Saul turned to leave Samuel, God changed Saul’s heart, and all these signs were fulfilled that day. 10 When they arrived at Gibeah, a procession of prophets met him; the Spirit of God came upon him in power, and he joined in their prophesying.

Born?

Image
fireladyswag : superayang : Born: Yes John 3:3-8 (New International Version) 3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.[ a ]” 4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!” 5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[ b ] gives birth to spirit. 7You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You[ c ] must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”[ d ]

The Next Chapter

fireladyswag : Genesis 19:16-18 (New International Version) 16 When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them. 17 As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!”

Jesus Calls

Exile

missturdle : seinemajestat : ljdsbgkdfng;kdfg THIS CAME UP WHILE I WAS PLAYING “ONE OF US” 2 Kings 17:27-29 (New International Version) 27 Then the king of Assyria gave this order: “Have one of the priests you took captive from Samaria go back to live there and teach the people what the god of the land requires.” 28 So one of the priests who had been exiled from Samaria came to live in Bethel and taught them how to worship the LORD.

Little Child

Image
meatandsarcasm : Luke 18:15-16 (New International Version) The Little Children and Jesus 15 People were also bringing babies to Jesus for him to place his hands on them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them. 16 But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

Submission Mistake

Image
meatandsarcasm : kermitthefrrog : So i’m submitting my paper to my teacher on the submission website and i clicked the wrong file to send her.  I sent her this gif on accident. Acts 19:11-13 (New International Version) 11 God did extraordinary miracles through Paul, 12 so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them. 13 Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed. They would say, “In the name of the Jesus whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out.”

The best way to deal with a Norse god

gingerhaze : the best way to deal with a Norse god 2 Chronicles 34:33 Josiah removed all the detestable idols from all the territory belonging to the Israelites, and he had all who were present in Israel serve the LORD their God. As long as he lived, they did not fail to follow the LORD, the God of their ancestors.

Internet Friendship

fireladyswag : dreamcreek : Personal feelings on a certain matter. May offend people.  Read More In no way do I feel offended because I fully agree that internet friendships are real. It's so hard to find friends with common interests in real life these days, unless you participate frequently at conventions. And when you do find these like-minded people, it's special. 1 Samuel 20:41-42 (New International Version) 41 After the boy had gone, David got up from the south side of the stone and bowed down before Jonathan three times, with his face to the ground. Then they kissed each other and wept together—but David wept the most. 42 Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, for we have sworn friendship with each other in the name of the LORD, saying, ‘The LORD is witness between you and me, and between your descendants and my descendants forever.’” Then David left, and Jonathan went back to the town.[ a ]

Beautiful Clothes

missturdle : closetcosplay : ladiesmakingcomics : Modern-day Fashion Princesses by *viria I would like Pocahontas’s top, Tiana’s boots, and Anastasia’s hair, pls. And Ms. Ridzel on a hypothetical Batgirl Corps books. Very cute outfits! I think I like Snow White’s and Anastasia’s best. Isaiah 61:10-11 (New International Version 1984) 10 I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. 11 For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign LORD will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations.

Black Bearer

Amidst the various shades of red adorned by the people present, in celebration of the Chinese New Year, sat a lone soul dressed in black, out of place and inauspicious, blasphemy emblazoned on a T-shirt – me. I hate to be a bearer of bad news, but I don’t believe in superstitions. I believe in Jesus Christ. “How’s the harvest?” That was the trick question of the season. I was about to reply “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.” when I realised that the question was referring to amount of red packets I had collected over the new year. I would be in trouble no matter how I answered it: reply “Great!” and gloat about the number or amount of money I had collected, earning envious looks.  reply “Poor.” and get side-eyed by people who think I’m an ungrateful brat. In my dumbfounded state, I somehow managed to return a pathetic but neutral reply, “Ok lah.” Of course, I may have given off the wrong impression but that’s beside the point. In truth, I had gained a decent am...

Mindless Talk

Image
fireladyswag : serenaiam : this is relevant. Is it mean that I laughed? Proverbs 16:27-29 (New International Version) 27 A scoundrel plots evil, and on their lips it is like a scorching fire. 28 A perverse person stirs up conflict, and a gossip separates close friends. 29 A violent person entices their neighbor and leads them down a path that is not good.

Overcome the World

meatandsarcasm : John 16 (New International Version) 1 “All this I have told you so that you will not fall away. 2 They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God. 3 They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me. 4 I have told you this, so that when their time comes you will remember that I warned you about them. I did not tell you this from the beginning because I was with you, 5 but now I am going to him who sent me. None of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ 6 Rather, you are filled with grief because I have said these things. 7 But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 8When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 about sin, because people do not believe in me; 10 about righteousness, bec...

The moment when you start obsessing over something and you want to talk about it all day but can't because other people don't understand.

mylastnameisbaker : yourfictionmyreality : asdfghjkllove : Mark 16:15-20 New International Version 1984 (NIV1984) 15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.” 19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. 20 Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.

Kind of lonely

Image
mylastnameisbaker : Woman: Excuse me, you look kind of lonely, my friend and I we’re wondering if you like to join us. Jane: I’m sorry… I’m married. Romans 7:1-3 New International Version 1984 (NIV1984) An Illustration From Marriage 1 Do you not know, brothers—for I am speaking to men who know the law—that the law has authority over a man only as long as he lives? 2 For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage. 3 So then, if she marries another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress, even though she marries another man. Hebrews 13:4-5 New International Version 1984 (NIV1984) 4 Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. 5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and...

Sunrise

fireladyswag : Habakkuk 3:3-4 New International Version 1984 (NIV1984) 3 God came from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Paran.                                          Selah [ a ] His glory covered the heavens and his praise filled the earth. 4 His splendor was like the sunrise; rays flashed from his hand, where his power was hidden.

Little Steps

fireladyswag : Proverbs 14:14-16 New International Version 1984 (NIV1984) 14 The faithless will be fully repaid for their ways, and the good man rewarded for his. 15 A simple man believes anything, but a prudent man gives thought to his steps. 16 A wise man fears the LORD and shuns evil, but a fool is hotheaded and reckless.
