Boom! My verse-by-verse commentary on 1 Peter is now available from Pronomian Publishing! It's the 1st volume in the new Messianic Jewish Application Commentary Series (MJAC), edited by Dr. Igal German. Praying it blesses the body of Messiah. Learn more: https://t.co/vF7Xmno4qU

@Aserbtt @AdlerYonatan Okay, thanks. You haven't persuaded me to stop thinking they're meaningful and good or to stop keeping them though. 🤷‍♂️

Many Christians are rethinking Halloween and opting for alternatives like church-sponsored "harvest festivals." I think that's great. But God already gave us harvest festivals to celebrate. They're in the Bible (see, e.g., Lev. 23; Deut. 16). So if you're looking for an alternative to Halloween, you don't need to come up with your own harvest festival. God has already given us the biblical harvest festivals.

@Aserbtt @AdlerYonatan Why not? Jesus, the apostles, and the earliest Jesus movement (including Gentiles) observed them. I've been keeping them for almost twenty years. They're meaningful and good.

@JosiahForYeshua It was a very dumb post.

Christian Nationalism appears to be rudderless.

I suspect the reason is that they don't have clear directions and mandates from Scripture at the very core of their movement. In the absence of such clear guidance they are subject to the blowing of the wind, the trends of the time, and forced to appeal to niche online group-think (niches that are often syphoned off of the cults of personality of godless influencers).

This is not my opinion of every Christian Nationalist but of the trends in the movement that I see represented by vocal members on X.

@BrysonGray And he explicitly commands us not even to think that he came to do that! "**Do not think** that I came to abolish the Law or Prophets."

@Methodist_Prime Lol

[David Wilber @DavidWilberBlog]

Most people don’t intend to be hurtful. We know this because we know our own hearts and motivations. Yet when someone offends us, even in small ways, we often fail to extend to them the same grace we give ourselves. Instead, we let feelings of rejection and false assumptions take over: “They must not really value our relationship.” Such thoughts can grow into insecurity and bitterness. Scripture calls us to live self-controlled lives, not ruled by emotion. We must resist assumptions, pause to reflect, and humbly approach the person to share our feelings and seek understanding. Most conflicts can be resolved through simple, honest conversation.

@_John_3_16_tm @Avis This tweet from them pretending to care is as far as they will go. I did send a DM, and still haven’t heard back. Not holding my breath.

[David Wilber @DavidWilberBlog]

Never ever ever use @Avis Car Rental. They will rob you and treat you like you are stupid when you ask them about extra charges they didn't inform you about beforehand. A truly awful company. And judging from reviews online, it seems like I'm far from the only one who thinks so.

Origen’s Commentary on Romans offers a fascinating perspective on the Apostolic Decree in Acts 15. Rather than seeing the Jerusalem Council as setting aside the Torah for Gentile believers, Origen argues that the apostles looked to the Torah itself to determine what God required of Gentiles. This video explores his reasoning concerning blood, strangled meat, and circumcision, and what it might contribute to the larger question of Gentile Torah observance. https://t.co/AoxAe2uTQH

@Protestia Thanks I hate it

@Joel7Richardson Yikes!

[David Wilber @DavidWilberBlog]

In this week's Torah Portion, Lech Lecha, we read, "Now the Lord said to Abram..." Have you ever wished God would speak to you the way he spoke to Abraham? Imagine how much easier life would be if God simply told you what to do and where to go. But while Abraham experienced some incredible encounters with God, those encounters were much less frequent than we might imagine. The good news is that we have something Abraham didn’t have: the written Word of God. https://t.co/lURlkjFFiI

@mbird12 Ah. Well never mind! 😂 Good Luck.

@JennMGreenberg @CrisAZelaya Solid list

[David Wilber @DavidWilberBlog]

Good stuff here from Dr. Imes! Sabbath matters.

[Carmen Joy Imes @carmenjoyimes]

Today's #torahtuesday video is about the surprising instructions to keep the Sabbath *even while building the tabernacle*! Is anything more important than rest? Apparently not!

Watch to learn why Sabbath is such a big deal.
