Charlie Kirk was assassinated for being a civil rights leader. We are all really bothered by his murder and the increasing violence in society. Many folks, even those who followed Charlie, did not know he kept the biblical sabbath. If his death has moved you to look into Christianity or the biblical Sabbath, please reach out. And our reaction to his murder needs to be one of love, mercy, and understanding for each other.
You've heard people say they are dying to have something they really like. So I turned the expression around to relfect what scripture tells us to do in that we crucifiy this flesh. Hence the name, I'm Dying To Live!
Wisdom has built her house; she has hewn her seven pillars.
Proverbs 9:1 ESV
The woman Folly is loud; she is seductive and knows nothing.
Proverbs 9:13 ESV
Wise people and fools can be identified by their behavior and attitudes. If you want to know who someone is, let them speak and act. They will reveal themselves in time.

Does not wisdom call? Does not understanding raise her voice?
Proverbs 8:1 ESV
Wisdom is available for anyone with the determination and initiative to find her, but you won't find her in books or meditation. True wisdom is the application of knowledge through the fear of YHWH.

God truly healed me on the inside. He healed my emotions and made me emotionally strong. Life has been a journey for me and it has been a good one serving Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah.
There's nothing wrong with money or making plans for the future, but if your plans are all about you and your own pleasure, you're not aligned with God's plan.
There's nothing wrong with making plans for the future. In fact, all of Scripture encourages planning ahead! However, the needs of the Kingdom must always come first. Make sure that your plans are aligned with God's and always be willing to pivot if it turns out that God has something different in mind.

Selfish ambitions create conflict within ourselves, within the body of Christ, and between us and God. The key to powerful prayers and spiritual victory is humility and putting the needs of the kingdom of God before our own.

If you were accused of being a Christian in a court of law, would the evidence of your life prove it? Please figure out who God is before you end up in an ambulance or on life support. Before it's too late.
How to hear the cries for help in this increasingly disturbed and violent world.... and then what to do about it.
Typical Christian doctrine treats covenants like a music playlist. When one song is done, the next one starts. But that's not how covenants are portrayed in the Bible. The Sinai Covenant didn't replace Abraham's, which didn't replace Noah's, which didn't replace Adam's. Instead, covenants are like a symphony in which one instrument after another is added to create a synergistic whole.

There's a really big reason for Christians to keep God's diet as outlined in Leviticus 23 that has nothing to do with health.
Wisdom doesn't come from isolation and philosophy. It comes from interacting with the world, meditating on the Word of God, and living out his commandments.
Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
James 3:13-18 KJV

Whether you are Catholic, Protestant, or wear some other Christian moniker, please learn about your faith, where its practices come from, and then either be comfortable with it or make a change. Learn where the key doctrines of Sunday, Christmas, Easter, and the Trinity came from and contrast that to the first century church.
