John Gibson Paton, Presbyterian missionary, thanks God that in his career, he was able to “defend the Sabbath in many lands.”

His focus on the Sabbath is one of rest for toiling millions, as opposed to the stereotypical practice of modern “Sabbatarians”, who advocate an exhausting, original production of home worship, before or after church on Sunday.

How can you defend the Holy Sabbath?

Aus der Mühle schaut der Müller,
Der so gerne mahlen will.
Stiller wird der Wind und stiller,
Und die Mühle stehet still.

So geht’s immer, wie ich finde,
Rief der Müller voller Zorn.
Hat man Korn, so fehlt’s am Winde,
Hat man Wind, so fehlt das Korn.
- Wilhelm Busch

This explanation of why "BSky is better at filling your feed with content" than the #fediverse doesn't make sense. Both #Bluesky and fedi can be used for "just posting into the void". Both of them can also be used for engagement and require effort to "connect with people".

Hell there's a long-time (i.e. lasted longer than the average fedi server)
#Postmill instance called #jstpst (https://jstpst.net/) that is literally for "just posting into the void" and it's a lot tinier than fedi

I'm really starting to hate these "cultural explanations"

John Boys, Anglican minister, considers blessing Christ w/ great feasts. The Last Judgment in Matthew 25 reminds that deeds done to Christ’s followers are taken by Christ as done to himself.

Many crises in the world overwhelm all sorts of people, including Christians. Would Christ taketh that done to these as done to himself?

How can you help needy Christians today? Alleviate or fight against suffering in great catastrophes?

I really should begin using Senkai more.. Maybe I should make it a true aggregator of #Touhou resources, 'cuz after all #Postmill is a link aggregator. Perhaps I could start with each forum being the name of a boss theme (like f/CompleteDarkness for Mima's "Complete Darkness") and fill it with submissions linking to fanmade arranges of said theme. People can also vote up which arranges they like too and we could have a representative sample of what Touhou fans like ​

Finally got the #Postmill in Senkai fully back up after the migration to #NetBSD.. Had to fix a bug and some permission issues in the cache and uploads directories :hatless_mima_hot_drink: https://senkai.chaotic.ninja/

New in Postmill: image metadata stripping

Postmill can now rewrite JPEG and PNG images to remove potentially sensitive metadata embedded within, such as GPS coordinates.

I like how this #Postmill instance has #Vocaloid as the top 1 forum in the number of submissions despite its last post being from 3 years ago ​
