🌿 Women’s Devotional — Day 81

“The Holy Spirit Strengthens My Faithfulness” 📖 “Your faithfulness endures to all generations.”—Psalm 119:90 (NKJV) Faithfulness is one of the quietest but most powerful marks of a Spirit-filled life. It’s not flashy. It’s not loud. It’s not celebrated the way achievement or success often are. But faithfulness reflects the very heart of God—steady, trustworthy, unwavering,…

for the last session this cycle we had a movie night which would be fun except for the fact that this is [medical industrial complex position] training and we are now responding to prompts like ‘how has politics influenced the development of the current american healthcare situation’ and I am literally screaming in my soul

I want to know what you think:

So my husband and I have been discussing our beliefs about where children/babies go when they die. This is a super emotional topic for a lot of people, but our emotions shouldn't control our theology. So I want to know what you all think.

Here's my dilemma. A lot of people say all babies go to heaven. A lot of people claim there is an "age of accountability" or something similar. The problem is that I don't see that in the Bible.

What I DO see is that the Bible repeats over and over that ALL men are guilty. ALL have sinned, and the wages for sin is death. It says that the wicked go astray from the womb and that we are conceived in sin. That we are by nature children of wrath. The Bible doesn't seem to support any claims that babies are "innocent".

Then, I read about how Jesus is the ONLY way to God. How His blood ALONE covers our sin. Yes, God is merciful, but He is also explicitly clear that faith in Christ is the SOLE means of salvation. If we were to say that babies go to heaven, we would have to conclude that Jesus' blood is merely one way to God.

So my question to you all is this: Where to babies go when they die? And IF you say they go to heaven, how do you reconcile the fact that this negates faith alone?

(Honestly, I'd love to go to heaven one day and see that God has given eternal life to babies and kids... I just don't see how the Bible supports this.)

People say the cross is a sign of how much man is worth. That’s not true. The cross is a sign of how depraved we really are, that it took the death of God’s own Son. The only thing that could save a people like us was the death of God’s own Son under the wrath of His own Father paying the price, rising again from the dead. Powerful to say, this is the Gospel of Jesus.

👧👦 Teen Devotional — Day 81

“The Holy Spirit Helps Me Stay Faithful” 📖 “Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.”—1 Corinthians 4:2 (NKJV) Faithfulness is one of the rarest qualities in today’s world. People quit easily. Promises are broken. Commitments feel optional. Loyalty fades when life gets difficult. But faithfulness matters deeply to God. It means doing what’s right consistently. It means…

I don't consider myself as a Calvanist (Whether it's a Three point Calvanist or a Four Point Calvanist). Or I don't even think of any denomination. What matters to me is The Bible and The Guidance of the Holy Spirit. I attend to a Baptist Church and when I can't find one, I go to a Lutheran Church if I go to any other city. When I indulge myself in reading the Word of God (which I should), I should be able to differentiate between the True Doctrine and Heresy. It's not about the Pastor or the denominations but it's in our Hearts. The wisdom to know the difference is in our Hearts planted by the Holy Spirit when we abide in Him. There are times when we get intimidated by the charismatic preaching or the high class fellowship of any Church, but remember that they're not the pathway to the Heaven. The pathway to Heaven is always narrow. You'll not feel good. True doctrine always makes you question yourself and breaks you down. It makes your heart heavy and it fills your mind with many questions about your salvation. That is when you should turn to Jesus and Pray. For He alone can bring you Peace and Lead you into Salvation. Amen.
