the internet can be dark but you guys didn't experience a miscarriage. you didn't like what you saw on a genetic test and ended a life. a life that could have possibly survived out of the womb. you then overshared all of this with the world and are surprised people found it abhorrent.

[Hans Fiene 🦬 @HansFiene]

Overwhelmingly, people view children as accessories to add to their lives when they desire rather than as gifts from God and indeed, the very purpose of the sexual union. Even among conservative Christians, this mindset is rampant.

We talk about kids like they're home improvement projects? "Are you guys ready for that, or are you going to keep waiting awhile?"

We talk about them as though they're Pokemon cards that you quit collecting one you have a complete set. "So now that you have a boy and a girl, are you done?"

We often look at large families with the same kind of disdain we have for hoarders. "That's so weird. Why do you need so many of those?"

Likewise, push away all the lamentations about wanting to save your unborn child from a lifetime of suffering and hardship through abortion, and you'll find the true mindset, where we respond to our children having disabilities the way we'd respond to a restaurant giving us the wrong food, something we simply refuse to eat.

"Waiter, I ordered a healthy baby. But you gave me this gross little deformed thing. Throw that away and give me what I actually ordered."

Not everyone will follow this mindset concerning children to such an evil degree. But if we wish to protect ourselves from it, we need to fundamentally change the way we think about children. Which is to say, we need to view parenthood vocationally rather than through a consumeristic lens.

Children are not trinkets. They are human beings, as human as you, and just as worthy of love and honor as you. Likewise, parenthood is not a lifestyle, a hobby, or an era. It's a vocation.

If a child is growing in your womb, God has already given you the vocation of mother. And a mother's vocation is always to protect and love her child, never to kill her child. If your child is growing in a woman's womb, God has already given you the vocation of father. And a father's vocation is always to protect his child, never to kill his child.

If God gives you that vocation when you're poor, fulfill it faithfully and trust that He will give you your daily bread. If God gives you that vocation when you don't feel ready for it, get over yourself and fulfill it faithfully. If God gives you that vocation by giving you a child who seems too difficult to care for, trust that He will also give you the strength to endure the task, and fulfill it faithfully.

May God save our souls and purify our hearts by changing our minds.

This is a terrible take rooted in a misunderstanding of the actual focus of the argument and vague anecdote.

It’s also just intellectually dishonest so say there isn’t preaching in the Bible. And likewise to suggest the practice is useless.

[SacredCowTipper. Simple Christian. @SacrdCowTipping]

I know of no other tradition of man that castrates and hamstrings a Christian and their ability to understand scripture than weekly sitting in a pew in silence while one hireling delivers a weekly monologue. It is absurd. I cannot fathom why so few don't pause for a moment and think -

"wait... why is this tradition found nowhere in the bible? Why don't we ever meet in particapatory meetings over joyous meals like in the bible? Why are we interviewing and hiring candidates unknown to our community based on a seminary credential they self-elected to get? Why do I see zero growth in the body year after year, just constant confusion and division?"

Which college football rivalry is the most toxic?

[Cooper Short @CShort_116]

Hot take: we should stop using them and placing them everywhere. I think it’s flippant and bad practice. It’s coupled with “everybody needs a little Jesus.” No, you actually need new life in Jesus. Complete transformation. Feels like an evangelism cop out.

[Scott Roberts @ScottRoberts]

Has anyone seen these tiny little plastic Jesuses? What are your thoughts on them?

Facts. Make some comments and keep it pushing.

[Jeff Wiesner @JeffreyPWiesner]

We are right now in the middle of our post-Easter secular holiday calendar during which all supposed Easter momentum seems lost and the Lord’s Day gets crowded by

Mother’s Day
School’s Out
Memorial Day
Father’s Day
Juneteenth
Independence Day

Pastor—Don’t compromise your preaching calendar but preach the next text next.

And don’t be discouraged by wavering weekly headcounts during this transient season, but keep doing your best to shepherd your flock.

[Cooper Short @CShort_116]

Parts of it, yes. It would also make the post-season such a drag. The last two years have been very long and drawn out.

State Your Case: Would a 24-team College Football Playoff ruin the regular season?

[Producer Jesse @JesseMyers88]

Each day, college sports strays further and further away from what makes it special.

[Tony Roundtree @Tonywithyy]

The year is 2046. College football has a 64 team playoff. Notre Dame gets an automatic bid if they win 1 regular season game. Every game is played in Atlanta or Dallas. National championship game is the first week of March. Transfer portal is open weekly. Presented by Fan Duel

[Cooper Short @CShort_116]

Andor is like a top 5 project I’ve ever watched. 10/10.

[Elsie @Meelsie143]

guys I know it’s such a hard sell but I promise andor is worth watching even if you’re not really a star wars fan. I promise you this show is nothing like the others. this isn’t just good in the way the mandalorian is “good”

[Andrew Siciliano @AndrewSiciliano]

Andor is the greatest Star Wars show/film ever made.

Yes, it's better than Empire Strikes Back.

Enjoy your May the 4th.

Abortion. The answer is abortion-- which is the gravest evil of our time.

Thank you for everything Coach Davis, one of the best men and coaches in my life.

[Cooper Short @CShort_116]

This is a good take. I think it’s probably time to move on from Hubert. But I can’t help being concerned about who would actually take the job AND what their ceiling would be. And then you add this to it.

[Seth Davis @SethDavisHoops]

Not sure I've seen many situations like the one that is happening at North Carolina regarding Hubert Davis. My understanding is the administration asked Hubert if he wants to continue, and he said emphatically yes. To let it go on for this long with no decision is not fair to anyone. At this point it would be very very difficult to bring him back. He would enter next season under a huge cloud. Usually the best strategy in this situation is to rip the Band-Aid off and make a decision one way or the other. To let it linger for this long is unnecessary and healthy. Here's hoping we get a decision on this one way or another very very soon.

[Cooper Short @CShort_116]

@BrettAiken21 I think I saw something about a 5 mill buyout on X earlier. He has a few more years on it. Like 2029 or 2030.

[Cooper Short @CShort_116]

Hubert Davis should be the GM and leave the coaching to someone else.
