Saw both theories in the comment section on Instagram and I'm DYING to know which one y'all believe

Did Adam and Eve

not have belly buttons because they weren't born?

have belly buttons because God cares about aesthetics?

Has anyone else noticed that pastors/church workers have a weird tendency to touch everyone??

Like, every time I talk with my pastor, he finds some reason to touch me. He'll lightly grab my arm or pat me on the back randomly

Also, the greeters and volunteers who help people to their seats like touching my back as I walk past

And it's not just with me. They all do it to everybody

There is no such thing as personal space in my church 😔

And I am very uncomfortable with physical touch, but I don't feel like I can even ask my pastor to stop. Cuz who am I to ask a pastor to stop doing something that is essentially harmless??

But yea, tis a little thing I noticed

Is this a common thing in your church, if you attend one???

Dear God,

I don’t know why I do the things I do. I don’t know why I keep choosing sin over You so many times. I sometimes see sin as a giant bubble bath. I would jump into the water and splash around in what looks like clean water. Yet, it’s just the devil’s illusion. Instead of clean water and bubbles, I am actually splashing around in mud. Dirty, goey, smelly mud. I know I hurt You each and every time I sin. I know I am playing with my eternal life each choice I make that goes against You and Your will. But…Father…I ask from every fiber in my body that You forgive me for my sins and tresspasses against You and Your kingdom. I want to change. Sometimes I think I do, until I fall back into that same cycle all over again. Thing is, I am trying in my own strength. I am fully aware now that only You can break this cycle. However, this is the part that gets confusing. I want the cycle to end, but my flesh doesn’t. My flesh has a mind of its own and wants to do the very things You command us not to do. I am sinful. I am broken. I am lost. But, I can be made holy, I can be fixed, and I can be found. Only in You, Jesus. I am aware You are coming soon. My heart skips a beat at the thought of not being ready for Your return. However, I know I am in my own way. I am the only one stopping my growth by relying on my own strength and understanding. I am hurting myself by relying on my own expectations. I expect You to leave me, I expect You to give up on me. Yet, You remain faithful each and every time. You just want to heal me. Deliver me Lord, please. I am growing weary.

We can all relate to this letter. We all may feel stuck in our walk with God. We all may choose sin over Him. But I need someone out there to know that He loves you. Forgiveness is found in Him. The time to turn from your wicked ways and repent is now. Accept His love and mercy. Let's do it together, friend.

It's Good Friday. And now that I'm back from Church, I'm sitting in a virtual workshop about social media.

And it's one of the weirdest and most hypocritical things I've ever experienced. Supposedly, this is a 'Christian' Workshop, geared towards Christian Entrepreneurs. So far, none of the social media teaching or advice has been any kind of unique, and I've heard exactly the same techniques and theories from secular coaches and creators as well. There's been a few interesting things, but none of the actual content actually speaks to being a Christian, it's all social media, business, and podcasting info. The only difference is opening and closing the workshops with a prayer; and a bunch of talk about these business somehow forming the Kingdom of God and making everyone (rather, everyone they agree with), wealthy. The attendance for this thing is like, 99% USians, and, it shows.

But what's really baffling me? The hypocrisy of holding a supposedly Christian conference over Holy Week, holding live workshops on Good Friday, which, uh, is the most sombre day for the Christian Faith. . . and the opening prayer today didn't even mention Good Friday. It hasn't been mentioned once. Not even a single mention of Jesus' death on the cross, which, simplistically, is what makes Christianity what it is?

But instead, opening prayer was a plea to Prosperity Gospel God to please make them all wealthy. Of all days, -that- is what they choose to focus on? This makes my skin crawl. Did . . . did all these people who profess to be Christian forget the importance of what happened on the cross -- which is commemorated today? (Sadly, if we look at the actions of may people who profess to be Christian, the answer to that seems to be yes, they have forgotten.)

I want to cry, but it's also like watching a train wreck, and I'm dementedly curious to how this keeps going and if Good Friday gets mentioned by -anyone- today. I'm staying tuned in out of a sick fascination, and will update further.

There may be tears later.
