Today I'm comforted by Psalm 27, with my eyes on the end-game, not merely this life:
The LORD is my light and my salvation-whom shall I fear? ... When the wicked advance against me to devour me... be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.
Ps27: https://t.co/zf9e0mkEZ9

No matter what cancer or wicked people do; no matter how much killing or mockery is made of anyone, God will vindicate the righteous at the end of this age.
Death won't win - not against us.
The sheep & goats will be separated: sheep will be justified/goats will be terrified. 2/3
A young man from my Church died of cancer yesterday.
Charlie Kirk died. Students in school too, and it's 9/11.
I feel sad & angry.
But I choose to ignore the demon-influenced people who celebrate or mock someone's death.
I remind myself that God's people will win in the end.

Gen Z kids are listening to Creed & Nickelback
They’re going to church in record numbers
They’re intolerant of LGBT extremism
They’re supporting Trump in record numbers
They’re barely drinking alcohol and avoiding hookup culture
This generation didn’t grow up watching MTV, Hollywood movies, and legacy media
They grew up on the internet and self selected the content they wanted
And it turns out when the human mind isn’t brainwashed, it drifts towards the Bible and traditional values
And 90s rock

If the long life spans in Genesis 5 and 11 are real, then why aren't there any remains of humans that lived to be 900 years old in the archeological record?
I engaged this question a few years ago:
Why Aren’t There Any 900-Year-Old Human Fossils?

Moderns draw the line at non-consensual sex. They are stricter than the ancient Romans who did not. Christians draw--and the ancient world drew-- the lines elsewhere. But the point is--that no one believes all sex is positive, to be celebrated. Everyone says some sex is immoral.
@timkellernyc Yes more of God. But, also Jesus, Peter, and Paul all advocated and taught to think about rewards (especially eternally, sometimes temporally albeit rarer like 1 Pet 3:10). If we shouldn't hope to "get" then Jesus was a bad teacher.
