our obsession with pleasing the algorithm, and constantly feeling like we're supposed to create more and more content, is one of the most awful illnesses of our times.
and what's even worse is that we keep playing a game we can't win. there are a few people chosen to look like winners, because that's the only way to ...

i used to be really sad whenever i had to face any struggle (financial, sickness, etc.)
but since i have repented, been born again, and decided to do God’s will at all times, i realized that everything happens for my own good (romans 8:28)
thus, i started to “consider it all joy when you encounter various trials” (ja...
i carefully curated every book i read. i never picked one randomly.
every book was chosen because i believed it held the key to the information that would change my life.
but none of them changed anything and i got to the point where i stopped believing that a book could change a person at all. and then one did.🌹
i used to believe that just faith in Christ will save me, but: “for just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.” (james 2:26)
you can think about it like this:
body = faith
breathing = works
just as a body without breathing would be dead, so faith without works is dead.

to be saved we have to pay a price which is to die to ourselves
the price we pay may look enormous in our eyes, but compared to what we are predestined to receive, which is to become like Christ (Romans 8:29), it is nothing
dying to yourself means denying our own will and choosing to do the Will of God instead
for e...

right now there is a war on the verge of starting here in romania as in the past months a lot of russian/ukrainian drones have been testing our defense
i’ve never wanted to go to war because i didn’t want to die knowing i was going straight to hell, but i am no longer afraid
BUT God has filled my heart with such peac...
i encourage people to read the New Testament more than the Old Testament, first, simply because it is through the New Testament that we get to see the life of Jesus and learn how to walk the way He did
it is more important to receive revelation about that, because walking the same path Jesus did is the only way to ove...
Jesus and we have been born with a flesh full of sin (anger, pride), but He overcame all of them without sinning once (Hebrews 4:15), paving the way for us to do it like Him
Jesus' death saved us from the penalty of sin (BUT ONLY if we repent and are born again), and His life can save us from the power of sin
BUT we ...
i’ve been following God for some time now, and i've realized that i should’ve come to Him because of the kind of being He turns me into, rather than because i knew i was going to hell when i died
we are born with this flesh which is full of sin (anger, pride), and when we repent and decide that we want to do God’s wil...

apart from the fiction books i've read, which weren't a lot, i've always read because i wanted to have my life changed.
i always picked up a book because i thought it might give me the key to what i was obsessively looking for. and well, none of them did, until one finally did.🌹

the entire work of salvation was to save us from sin entirely. we stop just at Jesus’ death that saved us from the penalty of sin (BUT ONLY if we repent and are born again)
He came as a Man, with sin in His flesh (anger, pride), and was tempted in all areas exactly as we are, but He didn’t sin once (Hebrews 4:15)

Christianity has become more of a trend these days, and its entire connection with God has been lost
i am seeing people posting about handwriting the bible, “i have 38 bibles,” “i’ve read it so many times,” and other thoughts or questions that don’t bring any salvation
the only way to be saved is to repent, be born a...

Christ “has entered as a forerunner for us” (Hebrews 6:20), which means that overcoming sin in our flesh and doing God’s will all the time is something that we can do as well
a proof that we can accomplish it is that God “predestined [us] to become conformed to the image of His Son” (Romans 8:29)
anyone who decides t...

a while ago i wrote a short thought on the difference between quitting an addiction and being freed from it, in the context of smoking, as i've been freed from it this year.
i've decided to expand it a little more, and write an entire essay around it, simply because the way freedom feels is something i'd love for mor...

we have the chance to go to Heaven and be saved from the penalty of sin through what Jesus did for us but simply trusting in that won’t get us there
if we keep on sinning conciously (smoking, gossiping), refuse to enter the narrow path, and refuse to deny our will in favor of doing only God’s Will then we won’t get t...
