Some personal tips for evangelizing Jews from my own experience: firstly recognize that the Jews come in a few categories. Jewish atheists are not relevant to this thread, they should be dealt with as any other atheist. Some Jews will view Jesus as a wise rabbi, most who oppose you will view Him as a sorcerer (this should not surprise you as we see much the same division between the unbelieving Jews in the gospels). Some Jews will be more or less informed about their religion and ours, but the ones to watch out for are those (typically orthodox but probably at least conse

Thread for discussing and sharing literature relevant to the Christian faith.

I bought a copy of The Pilgrim's Progress, I read it years ago in high school and I really wanted to go through it again without staring at a PDF, and it makes for good reading before bed. I had no idea there was a part two in the story as well, where after Christian makes it to the Celestial City his wife and children go on their own journey to it as well. Apparently in high school we only ever read part one.

What have you been reading lately?

I have had acid reflux, chronic kidney disease, lymphoma, shingles, and probably a circadian rhythm disorder and probably IBS, and all of my male paternal ancestors including my father and grandfather have died of heart attacks. What's more, the treatments for these conditions themselves have come with severe complications, including agonizing pain and frequent infections, and even neurological complications culminating in a vegetative state for a few days. And all of this by the age of 25. And I call all of it a blessing, for the foolish godlessness of this generation is caused in part because men have forgotten death, and grown complacent, and supposed that the arrows of God's wrath no longer find their targets, but the shadow of death has hanged over my head since I was a young child which, I think, has enabled me to think more about eternity than others my age. But I do not suppose my life is wasted or worse than theirs, because my only comfort in life and in death is that I am not my own, but belong, body and soul, in life and in death to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ.

I will keep this short and to the point: I will be resigning my position as board owner (hopefully) by the end of next week.

There are many reasons for this, but rather than go into excessive detail they essentially come down to:
>Too many other things going on in my life to be a responsible owner
>Personal failures of mine that leave me unfit to be owner
I will not elaborate further on the latter.

In the 2+ years I have had this position, we've been through a lot, the most important being the migration from anon.cafe to zzzchan (again, thank you Sturgeon for your patience and assistance in getting us here). However, I have not done my due dilligence in maintaining an active board. There have been more than a few anons making good threads/posts and I am very grateful for their help in keeping the board active. But most importantly, it is my own personal shortcomings that ultimately led to this decision. I have not been the ideal owner that I should be.

With all that being said, I seek to handover the board to someone else by the end of next week. If you are interested in the position, you may send an email to [email protected] and I will evaluate you based on your past post history.

Thank you, and God bless you all.

Glory to God in the highest heavens,
My Lord, my Saviour, my Redeemer,
Manifest Your mercy upon me,
Show me Your joyful pathways,
Lead me according to the pleasure of Your Spirit,
Purify my soul, clarify my intentions,
Shelter me with respite from anxieties,
Lord Christ, Almighty King,
I am not worthy of Your consideration,
Yet You heed me, and abide by me,
What am I to You, miserable in my offenses,
What do you see in me that was worth dying for?
You are wonderful and perfect, I terrible and misshapen,
Yet You opted to impute the glory of Your salvation upon me,
A superluminous light in a devouring darkness,

Brothers and sisters, rough night. Ended up stumbling into sin — gave into an old habit — and the guilt is heavy. Honestly, looking back, I was running on absolute fumes... physically and mentally drained.

As I was wrestling with the guilt tonight, the story of Jesus in the wilderness (Matthew 4) hit me differently. Think about it: 40 days fasting. He was literally in the most physically weakened state imaginable, utterly vulnerable. That's when Satan showed up with the big guns. And yet... He stood firm. Scripture was His strength, His anchor.

It hit me like a ton of bricks: My own exhaustion wasn't just an excuse, it was an open door. I wasn't tending to the "temple" (this body/mind God gave me), and it made me a sitting duck spiritually. Jesus showed it's possible to overcome even in extreme weakness, but His example also screams that our physical and mental state matters in this battle. We're not disembodied spirits fighting sin; fatigue, hunger, stress – they're real factors Satan exploits.

Feeling convicted but also... weirdly encouraged? Like I need to be way more mindful of not just praying and reading, but also resting, fueling this body right, and recognizing when I'm in a weakened "wilderness" state. It’s not just about willpower in the moment; it's about stewardship beforehand.

>"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet witho

>John MacArthur, the California-based Bible teacher, pastor and author known for his polarizing theological stances and defiance of ongoing COVID-19 lockdowns, has died at 86. 

>Grace to You, the teaching ministry of MacArthur, confirmed in an X post on Monday evening that MacArthur had passed away not long after being hospitalized with pneumonia. 

>"Our hearts are heavy, yet rejoicing, as we share the news that our beloved pastor and teacher John MacArthur has entered into the presence of the Savior. This evening, his faith became sight," the ministry shared on its social media platforms. 

>MacArthur is survived by Patricia, his wife of more than 60 years, as well as four children, 15 grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren.  

>"Rest in peace, lion of faith," tweeted theologian and author Owen Strachan in response to the news. "It is already strange to live in a world without MacArthur's steady convictional presence. Pray for his family, his church, and the many who mourn him."

I think it's important for us to start thinking about worldview. Let me begin by stating what the Christian worldview is: that all things whatsoever, whether they be the privacy of our internal monologues or clusters of galaxies billions of lightyears away, were made by and for an ancient Jewish peasant, who still lives to this day having risen from the dead, and whom is your rightful King to whom you owe absolute unquestioning obedience. Given how radical this message is you should not be surprised-indeed, should anticipate- to encounter nothing but hatred and death from those currently in open insurrection against said King. 

False systems of thought are not mere philosophical mistakes but acts of rebellion against the God they know and hate. Since Jesus made the rock, and owns the rock, any attempt to explain the rock without taking Him into account will fail and constitutes an attack on the crown property rights of Jesus. His sin is foolishness, and he sins foolishly by raising up his lofty opinions against the knowledge of God. And we obey our King when we take every thought captive to Him, both our own and those of the rebel guy in a dress that's ranting about how monkeys are his ancestors.

At the advanced age of 10, having been raised by an espoused atheist father and a nominal Roman Catholic mother, I developed a most Cartesian fascination with proof of my own existence and the establishment of certainty. I always engaged with these philosophical ruminations (an
