It isn’t a real conversation until we stop treating all homeless situations the same. There is tremendous distinction between the families who can’t afford appropriate shelter and the addicts and other check-outs are also unhoused. One needs a hand, the other needs a shoulder. This describes but two of the possible scenarios, there are many, to be sure.
So Monday… they get sent to Dallas. Every flight has been a delay- this one cost the Dallas -> Denver connection at 3:30. No problem! Got rebooked on the 630 to Denver. Now it has been delayed 4 times, and now departs at 11:15pm. What is going on @AmericanAir ?????
11 folks came back from the Dominican Republic Saturday, except @AmericanAir hasn’t managed to get 6 of them home yet. Stuck now in Dallas, and I have little faith they get home tonight. What a disaster
Dominican Republic to Miami Saturday. Weather cancels the connection to Denver. Stranded everyone, then after much drama- and a self paid hotel, 6 of them get to Philadelphia Sunday- where their connection to Denver was canceled; at like 8pm Sunday night, nobody at the desks… 2 hour phone wait…
4/4 Blinded by pride, Satan fell for the trap, traded us for Jesus, and found that he couldn't hold the one he had traded us for.
So the big wrap up. It was never God who demanded human blood sacrifice, it was always Satan. God sent His Son to save us from our bondage. #HolyWeek
3/4 Mankind was enslaved to sin, death, and the devil, when in the middle of history, God sent His very Son. His humanity, the bait, His divinity the hook. In the same way we were tricked in the garden, "you shall be like God" The father tricks Satan with Jesus #holyweek
2/4 For the first 1000 years, the church would answer "why did Jesus have to die" with something like "Christus Victor" - Christ the Victor. Briefly, mankind was tricked in the garden, fell into sin and agency was transferred to Satan by our sin. #ChristusVictor
1/4 As we consider the cross this #HolyWeek; I want to illuminate something that the darkness tries to hide. The doctrine of ‘penal substitution’ is an artifact of the Protestant Reformation, and frankly, it has led many to misunderstand who it is God is angry at.
I wonder whether this idea of evolution is a trick of the devil? It seems to me that we're not evolving as much as devolving — every generation gets one generation further from the perfect being God created in the garden. #theWay#John316#theology
This new branding of the 16th street mall so clearly differentiates 16th Street from any of the other streets in the city, like 17th Street, or 15th Street - they’ve really highlighted the unique nature of this part of LODO. #dobetter#Denver https://t.co/2RHewhezLt

@CSLewisDaily Matt 23.5-7 They do everything to be observed by others: They enlarge their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels. 6 They love the place of honor at banquets, the front seats in the synagogues, 7 greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by people.
@CSLewisDaily 1 Tim 2.9 Also, the women are to dress themselves in modest clothing, with decency and good sense, not with elaborate hairstyles, gold, pearls, or expensive apparel, 10 but with good works, as is proper for women who affirm that they worship God.
Hey @5317006 - just wanted to let know I was thinking of you today. Let me know when you'd like to talk about Jesus Christ. Love you mate, hope you're well.
