#Romans 1:22-23

[biblequotesdaily]

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

Romans 1:22-23

[walkswithmyfather]

Romans 8:11 (NLT) “The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.”

Galatians 5:22-23 (ESV). “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, [23] gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. ”

Acts 1:6-8 (NIV). Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

“The Power Within” By In Touch Ministries:

“The love we give will always have more impact in our world than the words we say.”

“If you’ve received Jesus as your Savior, then the One who raised Him from the dead—the Holy Spirit—resides within you (Romans 8:11)! Just think about the unsurpassed power needed to bring about the resurrection. And now God’s Spirit pours His energy into producing godliness in all who follow the Lord.

In Galatians 5:22-23, we read about the “fruit of the Spirit”—the character and conduct produced by the Holy Spirit. These are qualities that we can’t generate consistently on our own. Especially in this Christmas season, the most powerful message we can give isn’t a testimony or sermon; it’s the way we live our life. The world doesn’t need more festive decorations or empty songs. Instead, it needs to witness godly families loving one another, businesspeople working with integrity and frugality, and believers serving their neighbors.

By showing peace instead of anxiety, or patience instead of frustration, a Christian bears witness to the beauty of God’s good news. The strongest gospel message doesn’t necessarily come from a pulpit; it comes from wherever you work, live, and relax—because of Jesus Christ in you. During the next few weeks and on into the New Year, be mindful of the message you preach through your words and actions.”

A Different Kind of Kingdom Would Result in a Different Kind of World

There are many political systems and rulers in this world. One list shows that there are still 43 monarchies ( https://www.infoplease.com/world/social-statistics/kingdoms-and-monarchs-world ), although many of them are merely ceremonial or cultural in function. But kings and other rulers are instrumental in defining what goes on in their countries. If you look at the shape our world is in, what…

The scarcity of flour in 1795 and the introduction of a hair powder tax saw a screeching halt brought to the fashion of men's wigs that were so prominently in style throughout the 18th century. In protestation to this tax the Duke of Bedford abandoned his wigs in favor of a cropped and unpowdered hairstyle. And with that, short hair came back into fashion for men! Thanks to the influence of classical antiquity on fashion many of these hair styles were inspired by the tresses of the Greeks and Romans, and several of them were named for notable men of those times - the Brutus, the Titus, and the Caesar. Other cuts included the Bedford (named for the Duke of Bedford), the Cherubin, and the Frightened Owl, which in contrast to the rather neat style of the shorter cuts was a wild and untamed do.

After a century being out of vogue facial hair was back in style, this time in the form of sideburns. Moustaches and beards however were still on the outs, and we wouldn't see those return until the 1830s. As ever hats were an essential part of a man's wardrobe, particularly for outdoor activities such as walking, promenading and riding. Shoes were just as simple and practical as what was happening in women's footwear, with boots reserved for day wear and pumps being worn for afternoon and evening occasions.

2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

* (Romans 8:15) The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by Him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.

* (Romans 8:14) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

* (Acts 1:8) But you shall receive power, after that the Holy Spirit comes upon you: and you shall be witnesses to Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

* (John 16:13) When He, the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth.

* (Galatians 5:22-23) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance..

Prayer: Holy Spirit, oh how we long for You, come and liberate us, empower us, lead us, guide us, and transform us from glory to glory, so that, we can live that abundant life You have for us, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Roman Reigns x Male Reader (ABO)

[ancientcharm]

History and evolution of the Roman calendar

In early Rome the calendar had 10 months. January and February did not exist. The year began on March 1st, according to tradition Romulus and Remus was born on the 24th of that month.

 Romulus calendar

The first four months were given a specific name.

Martius (March) The first month of the oldest Roman calendar. It is named after Roman god of war, and ancestor of the Roman people through his sons Romulus and Remus. It was the month of the army. From Martius comes the word Martial.

Aprilis (April) derived from aperire, which means to open, because in this month the earth opens its bosom to begin to produce flowers and fruits; it was under the protection of Venus and has been represented as a man dancing to the sound of an instrument. In later times, in Ancient Rome, this month was celebrated to honor Ceres, the goddess of agriculture. According to Roman tradition, Romulus founded the city on the 21st of this month.

Maius (May); month dedicated to the elderly, who were honored for the work they had done for Rome. Much later, this month was also dedicated to the goddess Maia (originally from Greece). For the Romans, Maia embodied the concept of growth, since her name was related to the Latin comparative adjective maius ("greater" or "elder").

Iunius (June). The queen of the gods, Juno, honours the name of this month.

The rest of the months were named after their numerical position:

Quintilis (Fifth) Sextīlis (Sixth)

September (Seventh) October (Eighth)

November (Ninth) December (Tenth)

Numa Pompilius Calendar

After the death of Romulus there was an interregnum (a year without a king) after which Numa Pompilius was elected by the Senate. According to Roman historians and Roman tradition, the Senate was created by Romulus.

The calendar was reformed beginning in the Kings Etruscan period (7th-6th centuries BC), although Roman historians attributed the reform to King Numa Pompilius. In this reform, the length of the months was modified to last 29 and 31 days alternately and two months were added after December: Ianuarius and Februarius.

Ianuarius (January) related to Janus (Ianus) the god of the portals, the beginnings and endings.

Februarius (February) in honor of Februus, god of the dead and purification. During this month the Romans dedicated themselves to rites and religious functions to purify the body and spirit and propitiate the arrival of the new year. Februaris comes in turn from februum which means "purification".

This calendar was in force until the time of the Republic. In 153 BC, the lunar cycle was replaced by the solar cycle. Since the civil year began and ended on the winter solstice, the calendar had to start on January 1. Thus January and February became the first and second months of the year. Despite this change, the six months that were named according to their numerical position kept their names.

But things were not fixed after this reform, as the official lunar calendar was still out of phase with the seasonal course, based on the solar cycle, it was decided to add two months every four years, one of 22 and the other of 23 days, called intercalary. The complicated system of adjusting the months so that the years would fit the solar cycle was controlled by the College of Pontiffs, but this inconsistency was never satisfactorily resolved.

Until JULIUS CAESAR arrived

The Julian Calendar

With the collaboration of the prestigious astronomer Sosigenes of Alexandria, Julius Caesar reformed the calendar definitively.

This reform dated the Roman seasons and festivals according to the astronomical moment in which they occurred. It was agreed that every year should have 365 days, and every four years would have 366 days; these years would be called Leap Years.

The new calendar was implemented in 46 BC; The Romans called it "The last year of confusion."

It was not until this calendar, known first as the Julius Calendar and much later as the Julian, that the months began to have the same number of days as they have to this day.

Following the infamous Ides of March in 44 BC, on the initiative of Mark Antony, the month in which Julius Caesar was born (Quintilis) was dedicated to him and named Iulius (July).

In 8 BC, through the Lex Pacuvia de mense Sextilis, the Senate dedicated the month of Sextilis to Augustus. The homage-requested by Augustus himself- was supposedly because he had been named Consul for the first time in in the month Sextilis but in reality it was because he had conquered Egypt also in that month; such conquest led him directly to absolute power over Rome. Ironically, Augustus died on August 19, AD 14.

hI! Do you have any references on festivals? Like Saturnalia but not just limited to roman/greek ones but similar pagan or medieval type festivals (or other eras or cultures?)

Writing References: Pagan Festivals

Wheel of the Year (Contrary to modern-day Wiccan claims, there is no evidence of an ancient Wheel of the Year in its present form but it is clear that the Celts of thousands of years ago celebrated the festivals the wheel highlights, even if these celebrations were known by another name now long lost.)

Wheel of the Year: The Calendar of Pagan Festivals Explained

Some Festivals in Ancient Rome (Lupercalia; Floralia; Vulcanalia; Quinquatria; Saturnalia)

Some Festivals in Ancient Egypt (Wepet-Renpet Festival; Wag Festival; Wag and Thoth Festival; Tekh Festival: The Feast of Drunkenness; Opet Festival; Hathor Festival; Sokar Festival/Festival of Khoiak; Bast Festival; Nehebkau Festival; Min Festival; Wadi Festival/The Beautiful Feast of the Valley; Sed Festival; The Epagomenae; The Festival of Neith)

Pagan Winter Solstice Festivals (The Birth Of Mithras; Saturnalia; Yule)

Some Obscure Pagan Festivals (The Burryman Procession; Fêtes de L’Ours: Festival of the Bears; Harvest Home; Fasnacht, or Carnival; Gody Zywieckie)

Some Ancient & Pagan Holidays (Saturnalia; Eleusinian Mysteries; Yule; Wepet Renpet; Lupercalia; Akitu; Samhain; Liberalia; Dionysia; Imbolc)

Ancient Greek Festival of Panathenaea

Qingming Festival ⚜ Shehuo Festival

Hungry Ghost Festival ⚜ Pagan Origins of Christmas

Wheel of the Year. Includes the following holy days (most dates flexible year-to-year):

Samhain (31 October)

Yule (20-25 December)

Imbolc (1-2 February)

Ostara (20-23 March)

Beltane (30 April-1 May)

Litha (20-22 June)

Lughnasadh (1 August)

Mabon (20-23 September)

These 8 festivals are designed to draw one's attention to what one has gained and lost in the cyclical turn of the year.

As in the ancient Egyptian civilization (and others), the Celts believed that ingratitude was a 'gateway sin' which then led a person into the darkness of bitterness, pride, resentment, and self-pity.

By pausing to reflect upon gratitude for what one had been given in a year, as well as what one had lost but still cherished in memory, one maintained balance.

When recognizing a mistake, don't you instinctively strive for improvement? Similarly, when life knocks someone down, don't they inherently seek to rise stronger than before?

Our inner light is the greatest source of guidance. Is it not fitting that celebrities are called stars, shining bright? When we close our eyes, darkness fades, revealing our own radiant potential. Didn't the dragon's tail sweep away a third of the stars and hurled them to earth, reminding us God's Word is our eternal illumination?

[purepurposefulprayer]

Heavenly Father,

We come before You humbly, recognizing our deep need for Your Holy Spirit in every part of our lives. Thank You for the gift of the Spirit—our Teacher, our Helper, our Comforter, and our Guide.

Lord, we rebuke every distraction that keeps us from healing, from drawing near to You, and from yielding to the gentle leading of the Holy Spirit. We cast down every thought, fear, habit, or influence that tries to pull us away from Your truth, Your peace, and Your presence. We declare that nothing will hinder the work of the Spirit in our hearts.

Jesus, You said in John 14:26 that the Holy Spirit would teach us all things and remind us of everything You said. So we ask, Holy Spirit, speak into our lives. Bring to remembrance the Word of God when we need it most. Let Your truth penetrate our minds and renew us daily.

We open our hearts to Your conviction, Holy Spirit. As You promised in John 16:8, convict us of sin, righteousness, and judgment—not to shame us, but to lead us into repentance and spiritual maturity. We welcome Your refining fire.

Empower us, Holy Spirit. We cling to the promise of Acts 1:8: “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you.” Fill us afresh today with power to live holy lives, to speak boldly, to serve selflessly, and to use our gifts to glorify Christ.

Comfort us in our trials and doubts. As Romans 8:16 says, “The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.” Remind us we belong to You. Anchor our identity in You and flood our souls with peace beyond understanding.

Transform us from the inside out. Let the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control as in Galatians 5:22–23—grow in us daily. Make us more like Jesus in our thoughts, words, and actions.

When we are weak, pray through us. We trust in Romans 8:26–27, that “the Spirit helps us in our weakness… the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words.” When we have no words, You pray on our behalf. Thank You for never leaving us alone in our need.

And unite us, Lord. As 1 Corinthians 12:13 says, we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body. Break down every wall of division. Bring unity to Your church and make us one in heart, mind, and mission.

Holy Spirit, take over. Lead us, shape us, and have Your way in us. We surrender. We trust. We yield.

In Jesus’ powerful name,

Amen.
