“No foul language should come from your mouth, but only what is good for building up someone in need, so that it gives grace to those who hear.”
Ephesians 4:29
Jeff Foxworthy: "I started leading a Bible study with a group of homeless men.
I asked a simple question… 'What is the Bible?' One man’s answer turned into a story I’ll never forget."
POWERFUL. REPOST this absolutely EVERYWHERE.

🚨 Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable
We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening, the fraud must be stopped.
I love Christmas because it’s the hinge of history.
It’s the moment where everything behind it was pointing forward, and everything after it looks back. Christmas is where the ancient promises finally walked into the room. And it’s where we get our clearest picture of who God is, who we are, and where all of this is headed.
The Old Testament is full of longing. Page after page, God keeps telling His people: someone is coming. He tells Adam and Eve that a descendant would crush the serpent’s head (Genesis 3:15).
He tells Abraham that through his family, every nation would be blessed (Genesis 12:3). He tells David that his throne would last forever (2 Samuel 7:16). He tells Isaiah that a child would be born who would also be called Mighty God (Isaiah 9:6). He tells Micah it would happen in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2).
For centuries, people waited. They hoped. They wondered if they’d see it in their lifetime.
And then, in the fullness of time (Galatians 4:4), a baby was born in a barn.
That’s where we came from. Not just biologically, not just historically, but spiritually. We came from a God who made promises and kept them. We came from a story that was always building toward rescue. Every lamb sacrificed, every prophet sent, every prayer whispered in the dark was reaching toward this moment. Toward Him.
But Christmas doesn’t just tell us where we came from. It tells us where we’re going.
Because the baby in the manger is also the King who’s coming back.
The same Jesus who came quietly the first time will come again in glory. The prophets didn’t just predict His birth. They predicted His reign. Isaiah says every knee will bow (Isaiah 45:23). Daniel sees Him given authority and power and an everlasting kingdom (Daniel 7:14). Revelation describes Him returning on a white horse, making all things new (Revelation 19:11, 21:5).
Christmas reminds me that we’re living in the middle of the story.
The rescue has already started. Jesus came, lived, died, and rose again. The work is finished (John 19:30). But the restoration isn’t complete yet. We’re still waiting. Still hoping. Still looking forward, just like the people in the Old Testament looked forward to us.
That’s why I love Christmas.
It’s not just nostalgia. It’s not just tradition. It’s proof that God does what He says He’ll do. It’s evidence that the story is real, that it’s going somewhere, and that we’re part of it.
Christmas shows me that I came from a promise. And it reminds me that I’m headed toward a kingdom.
The manger points backward to every prophecy and forward to every promise still to come. It’s the center of everything.
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. - John 3:16
Defensively, he's in My Hall of Pretty Good any day of the week. This dude has a rocket launcher on his right shoulder. Gold Glover (I never got one), WS ring, and caught 15 years in the show.
Maybe he didn't do much with the bat, but he gave everything he had behind the plate everyday. His teams had success, and his pitchers loved him. I loved him and still do. He's the best.
Considering the catching position's physical and mental demands, that's Hall of Pretty Good career in my book.
I'm voting for him when he comes up.
My dear American friends,
We British Christians would get excited when, once a year, Queen Elizabeth would make a mild but sincere reference to the love of Jesus Christ in her Christmas address.
In Charlie Kirks' Memorial service, watched by tens of millions, I just heard:
- Multiple clear presentations of the gospel from men like @robmccoyus and @DrFrankTurek with clear calls to repentance and faith
- Worship songs full of Scripture sung by tens of thousands live and millions at home
- Personal testimonies of lives transformed by the work of Christ and the witness of believers
- Demonstration and explanation of the value of marriage, child-rearing and family
- Calls to Romans 13 for the government to bear the sword for the protection of good and punishment of the wicked
- Declarations of spiritual warfare on the forces of evil and promises to endure no matter the cost
- Calls to be prophets and call the nation to repent
- More Scripture references and Bible readings than I can count
- And a widow publicly forgiving her husband's killer because Christ forgave his killers on the cross.
All of it done before, and by, the most powerful people in your nation and the world.
You guys should be on your knees thanking God for your country. It is a light to the world.
Never stop fighting for it.
@Austen It’s been the norm throughout most of human history to silence opposing views through violence. That’s why America’s first amendment was (and still is) so revolutionary. Charlie Kirk saw that principle slipping away in the land he loved and dedicated his life to embodying it.
It all just doesn’t feel real.
In this suspended-reality between seeing such horrific, unprovoked evil and knowing that Charlie’s eyes were fully fixed on Jesus through the end, I’m reminded of the words of Pastor John MacArthur:
“All death can do to the believer is deliver him to Jesus.”
Charlie is in glory and we are left to pick up the torch he carried so well.
We must not go quietly into the dark night but charge on like he did - it is the only hope for this dark world.
We must run our race strong and not cower away now. Stronger. Bolder. Truer. Until we, too, are delivered to Jesus. Run well, like Charlie did.
Anyone celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk just because they disagreed with his views only demonstrates how truly psychotic and lacking in humanity they themselves are.
All the guy ever did was peacefully offer to debate people, in an attempt to test the strength of their ideas.
If your ideology can only prevail by silencing opponents through violence, then it was never defensible to begin with.
R.I.P Charlie Kirk
Charlie Kirk: "When people stop talking, that's when you get violence. That's when civil war happens, because you start to think the other side is so evil and they lose their humanity."
My friend Charlie Kirk was the best of America. A self-made man, a young husband and father, and a patriot, he was relentlessly positive about the future. He dedicated his life to making a difference with young people, drawing huge crowds everywhere he went. He was open to ideas and willing to debate anyone. That good-natured openness is what got him killed by an intolerant lunatic. Charlie was winning the debate, and for that, he had to be silenced, permanently. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Erika and his family.
The subject for the horrific shooting today that took the life of Charlie Kirk is now in custody. Thank you to the local and state authorities in Utah for your partnership with @fbi.
We will provide updates when able.
