What Was God Doing before He Created the Universe?
The first verse of Scripture tells us that God created the heavens and the earth. The question arises as to what God was doing before He brought the universe
I agree. Though why those iron agers told folks not to love the Earth is beyond me. Little did they know that would be the cause of the downfall of their house 2 millennia later. Love Thy/God’s Earth – obviously.
They have to do it or they will be ostracized from all their family and friends. It’s quite a tie, not all of us manage to escape without lots of pain. Why? Because to become like Him, we must know Him, we must understand Him, we must follow Him, we must trust Him, and we must put Him first in everything we do. The scriptures teach us that God is love and that “we love him, because he first loved us” (1 John 4:19)
The Lord desires for you to place Him first in your life, but He knows it can be hard with the worries of life. He wants you to come to Him and place Him first, for He is the One who ultimately establishes your steps.
“Anti-Muslimism” is the term Fred Halliday coined, which is a much more accurate description of what we have been seeing in the US since Trump’s Muslim Ban.

Pen pals can help bridge gaps between the most unlikely people.
While an AI partner might cater to your emotional needs, they can also dissociate you from reality, making it hard to form real relationships.
AI apps & chatbots might offer companionship, but many don’t have proper data protection features to safeguard your privacy.
Just make sure you are not cheating on your real partner with the AI one – it is still cheating.
Check out this website where you can create your own AI romantic partner.

“Anti-Muslimism” is the term Fred Halliday coined, which is a much more accurate description of what we have been seeing in the US since Trump’s Muslim Ban.
Contemporary anti-Muslim hate isn’t actually about religion. It’s cultural.
“Criticism of these ideas should never be confused with an animus toward people. And yet it is. I’m convinced that this is often done consciously, strategically, and quite cynically as a means of shutting down conversation [on] important topics.”
Correct! And it isn’t racist hate, just criticism of a bunch of ideas – YOU ARE ALLOWED TO HATE BAD IDEAS!

I think more popular would be the existing mission trips that treat Christians to a self-indulgent break from life’s difficulties.
