Augustine on tongues.
"Therefore, since also now he [the Holy Spirit] is received, someone might ask, Why does no one speak in the languages of all nations?
Because now the Church herself speaks in the languages of all nations. Before the Church was in one nation, when it was speaking in the languages of all.
By speaking in the languages of all it signified the future, that, by growing through the nations, it might speak in the languages of all."
- Augustine, Tractate on John 32.2.
So, in the NBA Steve Kerr can falsely accuse the government agents of murder from the podium with no fines, suspensions nothing.
But Jaden Ivey can't be pro Christian on the Chicago Bulls? Make it make sense.
@RobbBrunansky@WilliamWolfe Rob, my brother, we were all at 3abc together. I’ve always known you to be gracious, upright, and encouraging, even being one of the most encouraging guys I knew in Louisville. I’m surprised to read this. How did we get here, where Matt is an opponent, not a brother?
@Brink_Thinker Yes but as a child in the 80’s I now have rules for my kids so that the same things don’t happen to them. Not everything that glittered was gold.
All eyes on Colorado.
We're seeing a groundswell of otherwise disengaged Christians waking up and joining the fight against Colorado HB 25-1312.
They are writing letters, providing testimony, and contacting government officials.
But where are the pastors? 1/ 🧵
Deep discipleship is about giving the church:
More Bible, not less
More theology, not less
More spiritual disciplines, not less
More gospel, not less
More Christ, not less.
The Grand Mufti of Dubai, Ahmed al-Haddad, reportedly stated after watching the scenes of dead Israeli babies being paraded in coffins in Gaza:
‘Hamas has brought shame to Islam on a level never seen before.’
🇦🇪
The scenes from Gaza are horrifying.
Palestinians are parading the bodies of Israeli BABIES in coffins, as they blast loud music and celebrate.
What kind of sick society is this?!
The Islamist group HTS has officially taken over Syria.
Earlier today, they announced Sharia law will soon be implemented.
Christian families have also been told that they might "search their homes" in the next days.
Syria will become Afghanistan 2.0.
If your candidate lost do not despair, but look to Jesus who never fails you.
If your candidate won do not be deceived, but trust in Jesus who is the only certain help.
All kingdoms will fade.
Jesus reigns forever and ever.
Amen.
Scoop from a trained sniper:
“That whole thing was a fucking failure.
The Secret Service got there slow, the swat team got there slow. And Why the fuck did they keep him on the stage?
He should’ve been off of there in two seconds!! yet they stand him up !!! For what ??? to give the shooter another shot?
Look at the old Reagan assassination attempt. He was out of there in point two seconds.
Why didn’t a drone pick him up? Why didn’t another Sniper pick him up. That’s fucking bullshit.
We cover the Boston Marathon fucking better than our they cover our own fucking president
I’m so bullshit !! If anyone says how great of a job the secret service or swat team did .. they are full of shit. They sucked! They should be ashamed of themselves and all fucking fired.”
A Christian is not a man who never goes wrong, but a man who is enabled to repent and begin over again after each stumble because the Christlife is inside him, repairing him all the time.

NEW: Spotify just disclosed the follower counts for podcasts, revealing that Joe Rogan has a staggering 14.5 million followers.
In contrast, CNN averaged 582k primetime viewers in 2023.
CNN brands @joerogan as "fringe" and "controversial," but his audience is actually more than ten times larger than CNN's.
So, who's really fringe and controversial?
