10 Comforting Bible Verses To Post On Twitter During The COVID-19 Crisis

March 15, 2021March 15, 20210

Inspire someone on Twitter during this dark period in history.

One post on Twitter can go viral on social media. Words make a difference in someone’s life.

So, why not post a comforting Bible verse during today’s COVID-19 crisis?

Why post comforting Bible verses on Twitter?

We are always looking for inspiration and social media is a great way to communicate globally during times of social distancing.

The potential of death and the fear the world faces at the prospects of losing someone they love open the hearts of everyone.

People are searching desperately for a kind word, a thought that inspires or to reach for the faith and the great beyond in hopes of finding answers.

There are so many questions swirling around on social media when it comes to the COVID-19 crisis.

From what it looks like, feels like and what to do if you suspect that you have caught it.

But, one question that many people have in their hearts also involves a question about their faith — why would God allow something like this to happen.

A post on places like Twitter informs the world and gives them a reason to think deeply.

When people go on Twitter, they want to find poetry in life.

Social media fuels our motivation (or demotivates us) for living, working and loving others during times of hardship.

What makes Twitter so powerful is its ability to make a point in a concise way.

It’s because we generally want our inspiration and comfort to come in a few short words.

During this COVID-19 crisis, we have heard celebrities give us their point of view.

They help us to change our perspective and to see light in the darkness, too.

When people post on Twitter, they turn to poets and philosophers to retweet their words, but sometimes a hashtag may lead someone to you.

But what we don’t realize is some of the best one-liners can come directly from the ancient texts, such as a comforting Bible verse.

It may seem like the Bible is too old or out of date to apply to our lives in modern times, but I encourage you to give it a chance.

Regardless if you are a religious person or not, these stanzas provide comfort to us all.

Here 10 best Bible verses to use as comforting quotes as posts on Twitter.

1. Nothing is impossible.…

15 Uplifting Bible Verses For When You’re Feeling Sad

March 5, 2021March 4, 20210

Powerful quotes for when you’re feeling down.

There are moments in our lives where we feel sad, excruciatingly down and out, and a comforting quote or uplifting Bible verse helps.

There is no desire to go out and smell the roses because the emotions are so heavy, that you mope instead unsure how to shake off this uncomfortable feeling.

What should you do when you feel sad?

Life doesn’t go the way we paint it in our minds, and it can feel disappointing.

We have all felt drained out of our minds from work-related issues to family ordeals. Sometimes in our moments of loneliness, things can get dark really fast.

We have all planned certain moments of our lives, but they haven’t always gone the way we envisioned.

We prepare for the good but does everyone really think about the bad that can happen?

Things may be hard for you, and for that, I want to extend a sincere apology. I know what it feels like to feel defeated in every aspect of life.

I would like to encourage you all to open your Bible and flip to these scriptures to encourage you in your moments of uncertainty.

God tries to tell us that He will always be here for us whenever we need guidance and love.

However, we can be stubborn and try doing everything on our own.

From experience, I can assure you God will bring you to a point where you’ve lost all gas to drive forward and need to stop at the nearest station to ask an attendant for help.

Even though you don’t want the help, it is always best to have someone by your side through troubling times.

Here are 15 comforting bible verses for when you feel sad.

1. When sad, move forward.

“We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken;

struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.” — 2 Corinthians 4:8-10

2. When sad, trust in the process.

“Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.” — Psalm 34:19

3. When sad, stay strong.

25 Famous Karl Barth Quotes Every Theologian Should Know

January 20, 2021January 20, 20210

One of the most influential theologians of all time

Karl Barth was a famous theologian who wrote many books including theological summa Church Dogmatics.

Why is Karl Barth one of the greatest theologians of all time?

He grew up in Switzerland and came from a religious household. From a young age, he was passionate and determined to study theology.

Barth met a man named Martin Rade and joined a sect of German liberal theology. He served as a pastor in Geneva for a couple of years, and in 1911 he returned to Bible studying it and analyzing text.

He later met with Christian socialist and started to develop a sympathy to the industrial workers that he felt were exploited by the textile owners of the factories, many of them go to his church.

Karl Barth not only helps them but preaches it at mass which leads him to lose people and support in the congregation.

During the outbreak of World War 1 many theologians in Germany sided with the Kaiser (King) which left him shocked, he couldn’t see why they would support someone like that.

He starts to see it as an immoral action and starts to think about what is leading these theologians to believe war is necessary. He felt that the foundation of their beliefs is the root cause of their support for the war.

He decided by writing his most notorious edition of the Epistle to the Roman (1919). He decided in the summer of 1916 to write a commentary on Paul’s Epistle to the Romans as a way of rethinking his theological inheritance.

He attempted to restructure Protestant theology. His work included saving the grace of God and humanity’s inability to know God outside of God’s revelation in Christ.

Many read into Bart’s books and see it as negative but in large part, his readings do portray God as acting in graciously ways in the world.

In honor of his teachings and philosophy lets go over some of his most noteworthy quotes. These are the best Karl Barth quotes of all time.

1. God chooses for us to be free

“The doctrine of election is the sum of the gospel because of all words that can be said or heard it is the best: that God elects man; that God is for man to the one who loves in freedom.” — Karl Barth

2. Don’t get …

15 Afterlife Quotes That Describe The Wonder Of Heaven

January 16, 2021January 16, 20210

Some people fear death. Some people choose it.

What happens after death? Is there an afterlife? J.K Rowling wrote in her book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone that “To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.”

Is there a verse or quote in the Bible that talks about death and the afterlife?

The Bible has verses and quotes about God and Heaven as a place where you go when your spirit leaves your body.

Whether you are religious or not, everyone is familiar with the concept of heaven. In some way shape or form, you’ve imagined what it would be like.

We have all said things like, “Heaven for me is going to be just an endless vat of Bacon that I can eat all day and never get fat.”

Or maybe you’ve said, “Heaven for me is going to be just watching the fight scenes from every season of The Real Housewives”.

There are movies and TV shows about what heaven COULD be like. For instance, there is Miracle Workers, a show where Steve Buscemi plays God, and you watch as the angels fulfill jobs and duties just like humans on earth.

There is the Good Place which makes us question the idea of morality and its effects on our afterlife status, leaving us on the edge of our seats to finally see what heaven could really be like.

Or there is What Dreams May Come, a movie starring Robin Williams, where he sees heaven as a blank canvas that is his to paint, but his loved ones aren’t guaranteed a place there next to him.

We all want to believe that there is a beautiful afterlife waiting for us. But the idea of it is still quite abstract to us. The most commonly used descriptor in the Bible is paradise.

But Paradise is so subjective. And if you consider that the Bible was written over 2000 years ago, are we to believe that heaven is 250BC’s version of paradise?

Or does it age with the times? Or did people who died in biblical times, get dropped into modern-day heaven? Perhaps Heaven is something completely different entirely.

Here are some Bible verses and quotes from scripture about death, the afterlife and heaven.

1. Make heaven your goal.

“But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not …

10 Encouraging Bible Verses For Peace Of Mind During The Coronavirus Pandemic

April 8, 2020December 12, 20200

Bible verses to learn during this COVID-19 pandemic.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed at times. When you feel like things are spiraling out of control you need an encouraging word to bring back your peace of mind.

Perhaps you’re feeling overwhelmed or confused about the recent world pandemic COVID-19?

If so, you are not alone. Coronavirus has impacted our lives across the globe in an interesting, yet frightening way.

We are more isolated by social distancing from one another and the fear of contracting this virus is real.

We have all had to uproar and change our lives within these last few months to ensure our health is protected.

As with anything in life, we all need encouragement, perhaps an encouraging verse from the Bible.

Encouragement found in scripture helps to give that extra motivation that helps us push through the worst times in our lives.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, prayers and reading the Bible will give us even more strength and encouragement to continue and to believe that this will all end soon.

We all want answers to why this is happening. We want to know when we will find a cure to save lives before more are lost.

But if we continue to encourage and help each other by applying to tools and information given to us by our governments, this too shall pass.

As we adjust to this new reality that we are facing, hearing words of hope and inspiration can help us feel more empowered.

As we adjust to the new norm of social distancing, words of encouragement and motivation will keep you in a peaceful mindset.

What are some of the struggles that you have endured during this recent outbreak? What are some of the feelings and emotions you have regarding the COVID-19 pandemic?

I know for me, I am hopeful that we will find a solution that will end this current world tragedy as soon as possible.

I am afraid of the lives of the human race — for all people, regardless of the country they are from.

I believe that this will impact lives to believe that life is short. When we finally do return to our regularly scheduled programs, I hope that people will begin to spread love and not hate.

Hopefully, we will be too busy enjoying the simple things in life that we have been deprived of during the COVID-19 …

Bible Verses For Lonely Singles Who Are Tired Of Social Distancing

April 4, 2020December 16, 20200

Think of it as a prolonged me-time.

Social distancing is hard for everyone, and if you’re single it can be lonely at times.

Spending time alone is not always a bad thing, but when you’ve been away from your friends for weeks at a time, you start to feel the impact more.

A part of you may think that if you had someone social distancing would be easier than it feels right now, and you wouldn’t be so tired by loneliness.

At least then, you’d be tired of being home with someone (perhaps) than having no option at all.

It can appear that someone who is in a relationship, living with family members or single at home with kids, has an easier time being distant from others because they have people there to help fight against loneliness.

When you’re single, and if you live alone, you do not have that option.

Social distancing can mean weeks before you get a hug or hang out with a friend, see the mom or dad you don’t live with in-person, with the element of human touch included.

Now at the moment, I’m not single but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to tell you to enjoy this time.

Also, I’m not going to tell you that you won’t find love again, cause whether you’ve never been in a relationship, or you’re a newly single, we all run our course on the single life.

You really need to not take this time for granted, especially because you don’t want to have to miss it.

When you meet the right person it could make you never want to go back, cause being with them is better than being alone.

I will say my first experience with the single like most of us was when I was younger, but I personally feel you really appreciate it when you’re fresh out of a relationship.

That’s when you involve yourself in the world of dating and start realizing how dry your phone actually is.

Now I get that you’re possibly going through a tough time right now being single and don’t feel the best with your current situation.

I don’t want to push the, “You’ll meet someone” button because you will but right now you need to be happy on your own and find out what’s really lowering your spirits at the moment.

So overall being single is …

15 Inspirational Quotes & Best Bible Verses About Love

February 20, 2020January 3, 20210

I LOVE love because HE LOVED ME!

Many verses in the Bible celebrate love. You don’t have to be in a relationship with someone to find a reason to share an inspirational quote or to show that you care.

Don’t let being single make you feel lonely or not enough because you aren’t in a relationship.

In a relationship or not, you are loved and valued! Your worth is beyond measure.

It does not change based on your status.

Loving God and others is the most important commandment.

God’s love is unfailing, there is nothing we could do to make him stop loving us. Our self-worth is based on feeling loved and valued. Everyone wants to feel appreciated.

But sometimes we fall short trying to please others. Instead, we should love God first because He is love. He will give us better insight on how to love ourselves and others.

We’ve all had those moments when we love ourselves a little less because of what we’ve done, but God doesn’t have those moments. His love for us is unwavering and perfect.

Having God be the foundation of your self-worth keeps you from seeking validation from others who are hard to please.

Once you love God, you can love yourself. Loving Him is knowing and believing that you were created in his image for a divine purpose. If you’re wondering how you could do that try checking 1 Corinthians 13.

The verses in this chapter tell us what love is by giving us the characteristics, so ask yourself if you treat yourself with those qualities.

For example, for Corinthians 13:4 ask yourself “Am I patient with myself?” and “ Am I kind to myself?”.

We won’t be able to love others properly if we don’t love ourselves. The way we love ourselves is reflected in how we love others.

Don’t forget to love others! Loving others is so important, not just romantically either. We are called to love one another as we love ourselves.

Jesus was the perfect example of love. He sacrificed his life so that we could receive salvation through him.

I’m not saying go on the cross like Jesus, but I am saying that loving others does take sacrifice. Loving another person requires you to be selfless and compassionate. You have to invest time and resources into your relationships for them to flourish.

That is why we celebrate …

15 Faith Bible Quotes For When You Feel Distant From God

January 6, 2020January 12, 20210

Help me to believe.

“I do believe. Lord, help me overcome my unbelief,” is a faith quote and Bible verse found in the gospel scripture Mark 9:24 — a person believes in God but at the same time doesn’t.

What causes unbelief and how do you regain your faith and believe in God again?

It’s a strange thing that happens in your teens and early 20’s. Sometimes when you try to claim your faith as your own, and not the one your parents laid out for you, there is an internal shift.

You start doing things that not only your parents but also the church would not approve of. You are introduced to things that were sold to you as immoral and abominable, but they become important parts of your life. As you learn to trust yourself and how you fit into the world around you, sometimes your faith will fall by the wayside.

It is a strange thing, reclaiming your faith as an adult. I was raised in a very religious household. My parents are both very VERY Catholic. My mother ran the first communion program in our church, and my grandmother was in charge of the music.

I have four brothers, all of which served as altar boys, and I was recruited to sing in the choir. We attended mass every week, sometimes more than once.

My mother had a rule which was often recognized where if we misbehaved, we would have to repeat mass. Sometimes we would have to go weekday mornings before school if we attended the last mass of the day.

Now as an adult, I haven’t been to a church service (weddings aside) in over 3 years. I have been struggling with my faith, and I don’t even know if I have any anymore. I am too uncomfortable going into church with my family, having not been there in so long, not wanting them to know of my uncertainty.

The one aspect of religion that stays with me through all of this is prayer. I don’t know who I am praying to. Do I think it’s God or the Universe, or is it just comforting to say what I want or what I need out loud? Truly, I don’t know.

It’s a strange thing but, I don’t know if I even want to believe anymore.

For those of you who are struggling, here are …
