@Deleted User what’re the topics of your Bible study tonight? I’d like to join the voice, but I can’t tonight.

1. Early in Acts Peter and John are found causing disturbances with their preaching and healing in Jesus’ Name and on numerous occasions are brought before the Sanhedrin in an attempt to silence them. Read Acts 5:12-42. Missionaries are often called into hostile territory, requiring a willingness to sacrifice. Among those sacrifices are:
• Culture shock
• Language difficulty
• Government resistance
• Often not wanted where they are
• Identity confusion - where’s home?
• Financial and career
• Stress disorders
• Grief and loss
• Re-entry/reverse culture shock
What do you think would be the hardest thing to give up?

2. Missionary work requires a courageous faith and you can read about such faith in Hebrews 11. Throughout Scripture (e.g. Col 3:1-4; Heb 12:1-3) we are reminded that through the struggles and trials of this life we need to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus and the life to come. What comforts of this life do we give up now in preparation for the resurrection?

3. “I can do all this through him who gives me strength” (Philippians‬ ‭4:13‬). And yet, often even the most faith-filled are afflicted by fear. How much can we miss out on by being afraid? What could life be like without that fear?‬‬‬‬‬‬

4. Missionary work takes a team approach - Read Exodus 17:8-13. Victory was assured as long as Moses held up his hands, but he needed help from Aaron and Hur to support his hands as the battle was long and his strength finite. Missionary work is not just about the one sent, but also the team who sends and supports. What support can you give to hold up our missionaries?

https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2018/04/25/this-soldier-just-got-authorization-to-wear-a-beard-because-of-his-norse-pagan-faith/

when you start making exceptions to law to accomodate religion, you open many doors for abuse

They should just allow beards, period, instead of making it a religious thing

religion should be a private, personal matter... not a political agenda

I agree with that Ragnarok

Maybe a standard of "the religion was not invented yesterday and not by you" can cut down on the silliness

Else everyone can say, oh my religion says I can't mop the floors, my religion says I can't wake up before noon

well... I can get behind the church of cannibis... but shit like sharia law that is embedded in the muslim faith... fuck that

I am all for personal prayer and ceremony... but once it starts affecting someone else around you, that's taking it too far IMO
