Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord." — Colossians 3:23

Give everything. Every time
Not because someone is watching.
Not because you'll get credit for it.
Not because it feels significant.
But because how you work is how you worship.

Worth reading slowly.

NEW: A man ran nonstop on a treadmill for 24 straight hours and covered 133 miles to honor the 70 lives lost to suicide in Charleston County last year.

The runner, Edwin Martin, called it Project 24:70.

“For all the miles I was running, I was thinking about you guys. For the ones carrying weight they don’t talk about, this one was for you.”

“Keep fighting.”

This is extremely powerful.

To the broken, to the lost, to the undeserving, there’s hope In Jesus. Repent and believe in The Gospel(Good News).

“But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all.”
Isaiah 53:5-6

High Point Guard Chase Johnston shared The Gospel on @wakeupbarstool this morning & explained how Jesus Christ saved him though a convicting conversation with his brother 3 years ago.

Great job diving into this, @TBob53 👏

The only answer, forever, and no matter the circumstances, is Jesus.

I’m reading Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis, and I came across a fascinating idea I’ve never heard presented before.

Lewis doesn’t state it directly—only its implication—but for his conclusion to hold, it must be inferred.

It appears in the chapter “The Cardinal Virtues,” on the final two pages.

Lewis distinguishes between performing a just or temperate act and actually being a just or temperate person. A poor tennis player might hit a great shot occasionally, but that doesn’t make him a good player. We all agree on that. Therefore, isolated acts of obedience don’t make one virtuous, character is revealed in consistency.

From there, Lewis argues that God wants more than mere obedience. Obedience matters, but God cares far more about our character. He wants us to become people who naturally produce obedient behavior.

Then comes the part I've been contemplating for the last few days.

Lewis notes that we might assume virtues are needed only for this life, because in heaven there will be nothing to quarrel about (so no need for justice) and no danger (so no need for courage). But he adds that while God won’t refuse entry to heaven for lacking certain qualities, heaven offers no further opportunity to develop them. As a result, we will never attain the “deep, strong, unshakable kind of happiness” God intends.

The inference that struck me is this: we may have only our time on earth to become the people God intends us to be. This life forms our capacity for joy, virtue, and glory. Heaven fulfills it but does not expand it through suffering.

In heaven there are no trials to forge bravery, self-control, patience, humility, resilience, integrity, gratitude, or joy in the midst of hardship. Those qualities are shaped here, not there.

So here's the unsettling question: once we die and enter eternity, is our development finished? Is this life our only chance to become the best version of ourselves?

If so, it’s sobering. All the time wasted scrolling Instagram reels or behaving poorly without seeking growth would carry eternal consequences.

I should live each day with urgency, taking massive strides toward becoming the man God intends. The day I die, the work ends. My capacity for joy and virtue can no longer grow.

I’m not sure if this idea is theologically sound. Maybe it's not. I’d love some insight from theologians who could explain why it might not hold.

But if this life truly is our only training ground, delay is far more dangerous than I ever realized.

That thought alone makes me want to live with far greater urgency than yesterday.

Watching the service for #CharlieKirk today reminded me of this:

The incredible thing about the Gospel is that if the shooter were to repent and believe in Jesus for salvation, he too would be in Heaven one day standing around the throne with Charlie… worshipping the same Savior.

That’s grace.

The hope of glory isn’t Christ AND me.
Rather, Christ IN me.

To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Colossians 1:27
