David Fasteson @davidfasteson.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Obey God and not men or women. "We must obey God rather than human beings!" Acts 5:29 This purifies our faith. We mature and rejoyce in the Lord. 000
David Fasteson @davidfasteson.bsky.social · 12/10/2026We generally don't like testing but it refines our faith. Diamonds and gold are refined and purified. Testing leads to pure faith that is refined, genuine, and longer lasting than diamonds and gold. Watch out for the love of money. Judgement Day! 000
David Fasteson @davidfasteson.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Tests are from God and temptations are from the Devil our pastor said today. Jesus was tempted in the desert. The Devil tried to lead Jesus away from his father. God refines and strengthens with tests. 000
