FIFA World Cup positive report

I was really encouraged reading a prayer update from the church in LA on their website: https://www.churchinlosangeles.org/

During the period of the world cup at various events and locations, they distributed a total of 1,825 Bibles! Praise the Lord

Another thing I was touched with. One of the prayer requests says to pray "That the Lord may instill in all the saints a heart for the people in our city, and may develop in them a gospel living that is “ready in season and out of season” (2 Tim. 4:2)." This is really what the Lord is after. Although there is the need at crucial times and events, He doesn't want us just to preach the gospel and share His word as a part of some sort of campaign. He really desires to gain our hearts for those around us and get the gospel to be part of our daily living.

May the Lord gain this in all of us!

Tabernacle diagram

Does anyone know where to find a diagram on the tabernacle? I remember seeing it before in a crystallization study outline. But can't seem to find it easily on the internet.

Would you marry this couple?

For those of you who believe sex outside of marriage is sinful, would you marry a couple who refuses to abstain from sex during their engagement (a couple of months)?

Is it Christ-like to block people you disagree with?

I’ve been thinking about something and wanted to hear other Christians’ perspectives. Is it Christ-like to constantly block everyone you disagree with online especially fellow believers instead of talking things through peacefully and agreeing to disagree?

There’s a hostile user on here who is a believer who regularly posts strong opinions but then immediately blocks people who respectfully disagree or ask questions. It made me wonder where the balance is between protecting your peace and being unwilling to engage with other believers.

Jesus interacted with people who challenged Him constantly, and the apostles also reasoned with people patiently, even when criticized. At the same time, I understand there are toxic arguments that go nowhere.

Where do you think Christians should draw the line?

I was reading about trees mentioned in the Bible and realized there are more of them than I expected, and many seem to carry deeper symbolic meaning.

A few that stood out to me were the olive tree, the fig tree, the cedar of Lebanon, and acacia. Each one seems to connect not only to the natural world, but also to themes like peace, strength, blessing, judgment, endurance, and worship.

I’m curious which one stands out the most to you, and why.

Do you see any of these trees as especially important in the biblical narrative or symbolism?
