About this listen
“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
—Matthew 19:14
Jesus' invitation to children seems unconditional, yet He often spoke of the kingdom belonging to those who are like children—not necessarily children themselves. This raises questions: Is innocence a prerequisite? Must one embody childlike qualities to be accepted? In a world where children are vulnerable, how do we interpret this in the context of faith and salvation?
Reflect on the children in your life and community. Consider how you can support and nurture their spiritual journey.
Kickstart your morning with a shot of sacred irony. Subscribe to ‘Holy Contradictions’—one bold Bible twist in under a minute, faster than your coffee kicks in.
"Holy Contradictions: ❤️ Love, 😡 Hate, ✝️ Faith, and 🙏 Forgiveness in the Bible" is a compelling podcast series featuring the voice of Samuel Hollingsworth. Each 1-minute episode delves into the divine dualities within scripture, challenging listeners to rethink their understanding of love, hate, faith, and forgiveness through provocative theses and ironic twists. Every quote comes with a little sidekick explanation that even ten-year-olds can get.
The series also touches on other significant biblical topics such as wisdom, justice, humility, hope, obedience, salvation, courage, community, repentance, and peace. With vivid imagery and thought-provoking content, "Holy Contradictions" offers a unique and enriching exploration of how these divine contradictions shape our faith and everyday lives.
We get it – some folks see irony as the devil's plaything. But think of quoting common prejudices as just a sneaky way to spark interest in God's Word. After all, even the smallest of sins can sometimes serve a higher purpose. Remember Joseph's story in Genesis 50:20: "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives." Let's keep the curiosity alive, explore the deeper meanings together, and approach each other with tolerance and indulgence. 🌟📖 Let's foster understanding and grow in faith as a community!
