Christian. Reformed Presbyterian. Pilgrim. Sub-creator. Weightlifter. Furry. Flee from sin to Jesus, find rest in His boundless grace. Fight the good fight.
Jesus Christ is the only way for eternal salvation.
You cannot be a Christian and identify with sin.
Lifestyles contrary to Scripture are sinful.
There are two genders.
Abortion is murder.
Racism isn't exclusive to one ethnicity.
We are all sinners in need of God's grace.
There are no gay Christians.
There are no murderous Christians.
There are no thieving Christians.
There are no prostitute Christians.
Scripture is clear in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11. You can be a Christian who struggles with same sex attraction, idolatry, lust, envy, pride,
Please pray for me. I am struggling mentally and emotionally right now. Primarily struggling with discerning if this new job is truly something I am equipped and want to be doing with my life. If not, I am overwhelmed with the unknown factors of what to do instead.

Is having children good? Yes.
Is being married good? Yes.
Is being married and having kids ultimate? No.
Brothers and sisters, it’s not bad or wrong to be single, nor is it necessary for you to have kids to have a fulfilling, Christ honouring marriage.

When the Lord brought me out of my sinful, prodigal state, I stepped away from all things “furry” for a time. But then God began to burden my heart for those whom were Christians engaging in the hobby and for those whom were finding their identity in it and sinful things. But I
As you mature as a Christian, God shows you just how great your sin truly is. This isn’t to beat you over the head with your flesh. Rather, it is to show just how great the grace of Jesus Christ is, that it covers even the worst and most inherent of sins. Jesus is full of grace.
“You’re gentle, quiet, and soft spoken and not a culturally normative man so you must be a woman stuck in a man’s body,”
“You’ll never find a woman who will love you, so just be gay and find love that way.”
These are the foundational cores of the lies men are being told
This world is not our home, and that’s not just okay, it’s wonderful. Because it means there is light at the end of the tunnel. That there is purpose in the pain. And that our King is guiding His pilgrims to their true home.
Don’t get caught up in the noise and madness.
I thank God for my life.
I thank God for the ministry opportunities I have.
I thank God for the joy and refining from those whom are my friends.
I thank God for His boundless Grace.
I thank God for Jesus, that He looks at all that is not sinful and says, “this is mine.”
Not saying this to complain, but to deflate any impression I have it all together. Its been a bloody hard week. Emotionally and mentally I'm weary and battered, I've sinned in frustrating ways, and the aches in my soul sting especially. I am not home yet, and this week has been
Talking with one of my best friends tonight, and he said something that hit me.
Essentially Christian furries are a canary in the coal mine of the culture. Yet they still miraculously live because God’s work amongst the fandom is not done. His Gospel is going forth and He is
As someone who struggles with same sex attraction, there is a frustrating and dangerous thought that comes to mind when I’m particularly lonely or depressed. “If no woman will have you, there are plenty of men with good qualities whose only difference is that they are a man.”…
There is an Elephant in the room, or maybe one might say a Bear. To some folks it has four legs, to others it has two. But, regardless, its time to deal with it.

Hey, everyone. I’ve decided to step away from Twitter indefinitely. I need to discipline my energy, time, and emotions better.
While I am not sure if I will be back… I will still be active on Discord, Telegram, and even Instagram somewhat. If you are on any of those platforms,
Please pray for my dog. He’s been sick for the past two days. If there isn’t improvement by tomorrow morning, I will need to take him to the vet. And I fear what they’ll say. This is the last thing I want or need right now… but whatever my God ordains is right.
Good morning, folks. Happy Tuesday! I wanted to write a few words about things on my heart. The goal isn't to be mood-killer, but a hopeful reminder. I pray you see His strength in my weakness.
It is not a secret no one on earth has a perfect life. We live in a world pockmarked
Good morning, friends and fellow heirs with Christ. Praying you guys can rest in the reality that not only is God faithful to His own, but in spite of sin and struggling, He loves you and will sustain you to the very end. He is not fickle like us.
Our God is in no less control over the universe today than He was yesterday. He is good. He is glorious. He is perfect. Nothing happens apart from His command, so rest in the reality you are held in His loving hand, fellow co-heirs with Christ. God loves you like He loves Jesus.
Thank you for your prayers, folks. My dog is on the mend it seems. Since last night, everything has been working normally in terms of bodily functions. Praising the Lord for His generosity and for your kindness. Thank you!
I see folks decrying, “the effeminate church.” You do know that the Church is the bride of Christ, right?
For the record; strength, beauty, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, and humility aren’t limited to one gender.
I don't have the bandwidth to reach out to everyone personally, but I wanted to say thank you nonetheless for your prayers and kindness. I hope you see this and you know that the Lord answered your prayers for peace.
Not all the problems are solved, but good encouragement and
Not all Protestants are saved.
Not all Catholics are saved.
Not all Orthodox are saved.
However, all whom are Christians are saved by the work of Christ alone, regardless of doctrine secondary to the faith.

My discernment radar goes off when I hear people talking about, “tough love.” In my experience it’s an excuse for abuse of one variety or another. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 does not list tough as one of the things love is… but it does say love endures all things.
Whether we talk often or have never talked at all, I want you to know I am here to listen and encourage you as needed. I may not be a counsellor, but I want you to know you are not alone and to ultimately point you to Christ. I care about you.

“And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”
-Philippians 1:6
Take heart and rest in the finished work of Christ as He finishes the work of sanctification in your life. He is good!
Few things are more joyous than realising you’ve made a true friend. Yet one of them is seeing said friend face to face and foreshadowing eternity in heaven together for a time. Conversely, few things are sadder than seeing those very same friends depart because it’s a reminder
Blocking people for the sake of one’s mental health isn’t weakness, it’s wisdom. Just because you are on the internet with free access to info doesn’t mean you have free access to people. And if you mock someone for blocking, it just shows how shallow you are.
After a rough day yesterday, I woke up like a kid on Christmas morning today unexpectedly. Excited to drive to ATL this evening for FWA, and see friends and co-heirs in Christ, and even have some new adventures this long weekend.
Thanking the Lord for uncommon mercies!
Grieving missed opportunities, lost friends, times past, and mistakes made tonight.
Somehow, someway, Jesus will redeem these broken pieces and use them for His kingdom.
I cannot wait for eternity, to be worshipping at the feet of the Saviour with my brothers and sisters who were drunkards, revilers, adulterers, slanderers, thieves, murderers, homosexuals, liars, and God-haters just like me. To glory in our redeemer who saved us from our sins.
Taking a day to do lame jokes and act like fools kinda loses its edge when our culture has been a daily slow motion train wreck of idiots for the past few decades, and these last couple years especially.
The desire to Blackpill post feels strong right now.
However, remember this if nothing else: Christ has won. Christ is not done with you. Christ will come again.
“It's like the great stories, Mr. Frodo, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad has happened? But in the
Today is one of those uncommon days where the gloomy skies above reflect the disposition of my weary, aching soul. So much darkness, death, despair, and discord this week.
Clinging to the promise that, behind this present frowning providence, is God’s smiling face.
I talk a fair bit about Scripture, theology, and geeky things here... For my mutuals, how would you feel if I started sharing some of the story things I've been working on, too?
Not looking for affirmation, but feedback and accountability if possible!
Our sin is strongest when we don't talk about it.
God's grace is weakest when we don't talk about it.
Cause and effect. Drag sin into the light and show how pathetic and futile it is, because that is when we see the power of God's grace in that it can cleanse you from such sin.
God is still on His throne. He raises up and topples kings at His will. His mercies are new every morning. By the Holy Spirit, His grace is sufficient for our every need. Our enemies are not of flesh and blood. Stay focused on the Gospel of Grace of our glorious saviour, Christ.
“Our God is in the heavens; He does all that He pleases.”
-Psalm 115:3
God is not surprised or taken off guard by what happens in the world. In fact, He is orchestrating it for His glory and our good.
Good morning, fellow heirs!
Remember, He who began a good work (Justification) in you will see it to completion (Sanctification).
He will not let you go, give up on you, or get angry with you. Rest in His grace and peace, knowing He is faithful to His own, even when we fail.
Don’t you love in Scripture when the Apostles and Disciples used lists of dirty laundry, threats, and “cancelling” to get Christians whom were in sin, or even flirting with sin, to see their error and repent?
Oh wait… that’s right, they didn’t. Those are the tools of a
I know His grace is made strong.
More than anything or anyone, Jesus is what I need. He is the truth the lie wants me to forget as my heart looks for rest. His grace is sufficient and He is faithful.
Comfort my weary heart.
This weekend was far more of a blessing and encouragement than I ever hoped. I love Alec and Aqua far beyond what words can convey. Their passion, love, humility, and robustness is convicting. And it was an utter joy to hang out with Quincy as well. Thank you for being family. 💙
Also, side note as I am waiting in lines…

I do not deserve a friend and brother like him,
Christians who are outraged over women not fitting into stereotypes, can you stop and think how your graceless, biblically unfounded rigidity is going to push gentle brothers and tough sisters into the open arms of the world and it's lies about gender and sexuality?
"Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit

I am thinking of getting out of technology and just throwing myself into construction/remodelling again. I’ve chased the satisfaction and joy I’ve had from my time doing it, a decade ago, for years now. My brain loves hard physical labour with purpose but hates tech work. Buh.
Two for two on meetings where I’m berated and told I am not doing my job in spite of simply trying to offer solutions to problems that existed long before I was there.
On a pleasant note, I got the achievement unlocked, “You wasted my time.” Booyah!
It’s not on the Christian to prove God exists. We are all made in His image. The law is written on our hearts via our conscience. We live on a planet, though stained and groaning with sin, fashioned by intelligent and beautiful design. Everything points to the existence and

I'm going to be in a unique season of life until the beginning of September. And in an effort to redeem my time, and challenge myself, I am going to be doing a little "event."

I may be late to the party, but by the grace of God taxes are done and I didn't walk away too bloodied due to what I owed. God is good and I couldn't help but praise Him for His provision and generosity to me in spite of my failings.

If you need constant validation for what you are doing, there is a good chance you attempting to bury the nagging disquiet of what you are doing ringing out from deep in your soul. That is called your conscience. And no matter what sin is protected or paraded, the Lord gives that
Holy cow… John Piper saying that loving Jesus is Eros love, the Greek word where we get erotic, simply because we are to find pleasure in Christ was not on my bingo card for this year. Talk about unbiblical and dangerous.
This thread is a grace filled reminder of why we need to speak the truth in love and let Scripture be the stumbling block rather than us.
Christians, you represent Christ poorly when you celebrate someone taking an issue with you. Christ never gloat over “being right.” In fact,
If you need the government to keep Resurrection Sunday special for you to celebrate our risen and reigning Lord, Jesus, who conquered our sins, you're essentially the same as those with mental illness screaming to be validated by the government.
Ignore the noise. Press on.
God doesn’t want you to make good and beautiful things to take over the culture.
God wants you to make good and beautiful things because you’re made in His image, it’s worship to Him, and because it points to the Gospel.
I’ve got so much to learn myself, but it’s neat seeing my dear brother grow in his arting skills by leaps and bounds. I have some catching up to do!
Thank you, Mook! 💙
Grace is sin’s most mortal enemy.
It’s why we struggle to confess our sins to God.
It’s why we struggle to seek forgiveness from a wronged brother or sister.
It’s why we struggle to rest in the finished work of Christ.
It’s why we struggle to live as we now are: Co-Heirs.
Oh, to see the dawn
Of the darkest day:
Christ on the road to Calvary.
Tried by sinful men,
Torn and beaten, then
Nailed to a cross of wood.
This, the power of the cross:
Christ became sin for us,
Took the blame, bore the wrath:
We stand forgiven at the cross.
Oh, to see the
The Lord knows I want a family, I want to love my wife well, I want to raise children in the knowledge of Him. My heart cries out for a family to invest in them and grow old serving them. And in as much as those are good things, they’re not promised for me. It’s hard…
"Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed."
-Peter 4:12-13
Doug Wilson being on Tucker Carlson was not on my bingo card for 2024. But it is a clear sign that unbiblical teaching being called biblical and going mainstream stream isn’t just a liberal thing anymore. Be as wary as Bereans, always seeking to discern what Scripture truly says.
Sometimes the Lord gives you a fleece, a star in the sky, a hand writing on the wall, or even just hearing the hearts of those around you aching for something more than what we have. To that end, I am creating a space (Discord server) for Christians to congregate, encourage, and
The role of the law is twofold:
To show our need of grace when we are dead in sin.
To give us guidelines how to exercise the grace given to us when we are made alive in Christ.
The law does not save.
I am ninety percent certain my ex girlfriend, a Christian, broke up with me because I told her my struggles and she didn’t want to deal with that baggage. It’s valid. But it’s left me terrified every woman will be like that, and in turn, I will be alone for the rest of my life…
He gives me hope… not for a life that I want, but the life that He has for me that’s better than I deserve and better than my dreams. It’s a life in Him. It’s a life of being content in Him. It’s a life of serving in my church, my spiritual family…
Until the Lord calls me home or returns in glory, I will grin and bear up under this thorn in my flesh. I know all my tears are being kept in His bottle. He hears my cries. But I know His ways are not my ways. And in this weakness I groan and weep at…
Just got home from church and I see I hit 100 followers. Wow. Thank you, guys. Not sure how so many of you can put up with my cringe, but hopefully you see the Lord in spite of it!
In honour of that number, I will be posting a verse a day for 100 days starting tomorrow!
One of my oldest friends is about to get engaged. I was there when his ex fiancee essentially left him on the altar, and I’ve seen how the Lord has grown him in years of waiting and heartache. So excited for him!
I have friends who disagree with some of these things. That is okay. Disagreement is not hatred or a desire for another's destruction.
As a weak, struggling sinner saved by God's grace, I want to point to Christ as being far better than anything sin or the world offers.
Scripture is clear that if something is not sinful in and of itself, or leads you into sinning against a brother or sister, then it is to be used to glorify God and to worship Him with. Paul finishes a heavy 1 Corinthians 10 warning on sinful deeds with this grace filled charge.
And so I grapple with the fear of loneliness, the bitter stab of seeing others find and forge families, and this growing dread I am damaged beyond repair. But that’s if I stay focused on me and my worries. Jesus knows my struggles. He knows my pain. And in spite of my sin…
As a Reformed Presbyterian, I find it funny that R.L. Dabney, for all of his evil and twisted theology, is being used as a means to be like: HURR DURR PRESBYTERIANISM BAD.

I struggle with same sex attraction. I know how alluring sin is daily. I feel its burden, have tasted its forbidden fruit, and have suffered under its consequences. But there is forgiveness and grace in Christ for any sin, no matter how heinous. Repent and believe in Christ.
In the midst of so much conflict and turmoil, I was encouraged by my time at church this morning. I am officially and fully a member. My pastor glorified Christ and pointed us to worship and love Him more through constant repentance and taking hold of the Gospel. And I connected

I made bread again yesterday. Different recipe. However, I foolishly thought I could use the olive oil I had on hand… not realising it was infused with lemon.
