One of my biggest fears as a young adult climbing the steps of life, well before my conversion to Christ, was to make poor decisions and incur great regret.

“Every Christian has sad regrets that can find their answer only in Christ Jesus, their all-sufficient Savior, but no Christian on the day of his death will regret the times he spent in communion with God. You will not regret your growth in sanctification. You will not regret striving for increasing victories over old patterns of sin. You will not regret the time that you chose to spend in spiritually nourishing books and teaching. You will not regret choosing to spend more time listening to the good news of the kingdom. You will not regret time spent loving your husband or wife, children, friends, and neighbors by listening, talking, and encouraging them in the Lord. You will not regret time spent in prayer, the Word, and worship. You will not regret giving away money to Christ’s work in the world. You will not regret stretching yourself to share the gospel with the lost. You will not regret time spent with lonely, elderly saints.” — William VanDoodewaard, an excerpt from his article in Tabletalk Magazine, January 2025 edition, called Preparing for Death.

Currently, the only social media site I post to is gab, which touts itself as “The Free Speech Social Network and Pioneer of the Parallel Economy.”
