Juneteenth is a day to pause, remember, and reflect.
It reminds us that while progress has been made, there’s still work to do. Let’s keep moving forward with justice, kindness, and humility.
Without Christ, I was my own god, chasing reason, pleasure, and ego.
Culture fed my pride, but it led to emptiness. Only in surrendering to Christ did I find purpose, worth, and freedom from the lie that I was ever enough on my own.
Christians should have a forgiving heart, no matter the wrong.
It's a hard pill to swallow at times, but there's no way around it Christians should be the 1st to forgive.
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. -Romans 12:2 NIV
Several years ago, I saw this video for the first time, and it rocked me. Thank you to @louiegiglio and the amazing @passion268 team for creating such a unique way to see the Gospel.
Today, we honor the lives lost and heroes of 9/11. Reflecting on their strength and unity, we’re inspired by their courage. To first responders and affected families, we stand together, never forgetting. May we cherish compassion and solidarity always.
I’m not a Christian, but that was not cool.
I have Christian friends who are still believers in Christ but have long ago pulled away from the church. They are now worshipping in private because their religion has become so weakened and corrupted by tolerance. The fact that this Olympic ceremony was allowed to happen proves my friends are correct.
There’s zero respect for the past or the Christian faith that built western civilization (and a good chunk of non western civilization).
Christianity was by far the GREATEST FORCE in history for spreading literacy, medicine, technology, trade, and civilization around the ENTIRE world, not just the western world.
Christian values ended many extremely common and barbaric practices like human sacrifice, “exposing” unwanted newborn daughters to their deaths, or the practice of “Sati” where the wife of a man who died was forced to commit suicide.
Everyone wants to hate on Christianity so much but they forget the barbarity that it replaced in civilizations around the Mediterranean in particular. “Our city is being invaded by Gauls. Oh, maybe we didn’t sacrifice enough children. Let’s throw 200 more crying kids into this fire pit and kill any mothers who cry during the sacrifice for impiety.”
Yes there have been wars and many conflicts either blamed or justified by Christianity (but not encouraged by Christianity itself), but let’s be real for a minute.
If it wasn’t for Christianity (or the values that ultimately evolved into Christianity), women and children in western civilization today would still probably just be property and slaves of men. We all owe a debt to it.
Why are godly fathers important?
When fathers come to Christ first 93% of the time the rest of the family follows.
When mothers come to Christ first it’s 17%.
The American College of Pediatricians just put out a 🔥🔥🔥 statement calling out all the major medical associations by name for pushing the gender transition craze on kids.
They ask for these groups to "IMMEDIATELY stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex."
The full @ACPeds statement ⬇️
"Therefore, given the recent research and the revelations of the harmful approach advocated by WPATH and its followers in the United States, we, the undersigned, call upon the medical professional organizations of the United States, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Endocrine Society, the Pediatric Endocrine Society, American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry to follow the science and their European professional colleagues and immediately stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex. Instead, these organizations should recommend comprehensive evaluations and therapies aimed at identifying and addressing underlying psychological co-morbidities and neurodiversity that often predispose to and accompany gender dysphoria. We also encourage the physicians who are members of these professional organizations to contact their leadership and urge them to adhere to the evidence-based research now available.”
