Nahum 1:1-15 MSG
[1] A report on the problem of Nineveh, the way God gave Nahum of Elkosh to see it: [2-6] God is serious business. He won’t be trifled with. He avenges his foes. He stands up against his enemies, fierce and raging. But God doesn’t lose his temper. He’s powerful, but it’s a patient power. Still, no one gets by with anything. Sooner or later, everyone pays. Tornadoes and hurricanes are the wake of his passage, Storm clouds are the dust he shakes off his feet. He yells at the sea: It dries up. All the rivers run dry. The Bashan and Carmel mountains shrivel, the Lebanon orchards shrivel. Mountains quake in their roots, hills dissolve into mud flats. Earth shakes in fear of God. The whole world’s in a panic. Who can face such towering anger? Who can stand up to this fierce rage? His anger spills out like a river of lava, his fury shatters boulders. [7-10] God is good, a hiding place in tough times. He recognizes and welcomes anyone looking for help, No matter how desperate the trouble. But cozy islands of escape He wipes right off the map. No one gets away from God. Why waste time conniving against God? He’s putting an end to all such scheming. For troublemakers, no second chances. Like a pile of dry brush, Soaked in oil, they’ll go up in flames. [11] Nineveh’s an anthill of evil plots against God, A think tank for lies that seduce and betray. [12-13] And God has something to say about all this: “Even though you’re on top of the world, With all the applause and all the votes, you’ll be mowed down flat. “I’ve afflicted you, Judah, true, but I won’t afflict you again. From now on I’m taking the yoke from your neck and splitting it up for kindling. I’m cutting you free from the ropes of your bondage.” * * * [14] God’s orders on Nineveh: “You’re the end of the line. It’s all over with Nineveh. I’m gutting your temple. Your gods and goddesses go in the trash. I’m digging your grave. It’s an unmarked grave. You’re nothing—no, you’re less than nothing!” [15] Look! Striding across the mountains— a messenger bringing the latest good news: peace! A holiday, Judah! Celebrate! Worship and recommit to God! No more worries about this enemy. This one is history. Close the books.

Love how this is basically my new way of going to church now since it been years since I went. thanks
I try my best, but I would recommend that you don’t just use me as a church. Test everything that I say, everything I post.
1 Thessalonians 5:19-22 AMPC
[19] Do not quench (suppress or subdue) the [Holy] Spirit; [20] Do not spurn the gifts and utterances of the prophets [do not depreciate prophetic revelations nor despise inspired instruction or exhortation or warning]. [21] But test and prove all things [until you can recognize] what is good; [to that] hold fast. [22] Abstain from evil [shrink from it and keep aloof from it] in whatever form or whatever kind it may be.
If you’re not going to a physical church (Christians have and will continue to disagree on this, but I believe that going to a physical church is not necessary as long as you supplement all of the things that you get from church (the teaching of scripture, an amount of time to worship/pray to God (whatever that may look like for you), and at least a few like-minded Christians to have a community with, meaning, people who you can be open with about sins you’re struggling with, people who you can talk to to help you understand scripture better, people who you can pray with).) I would recommend you check out a whole list of people and YouTube channels.
