Jesus! what a Strength in weakness!
Let me hide myself in Him.
Tempted, tried, and often failing,
He, my Strength, my victory wins.

Hallelujah! what a Savior!
Hallelujah! what a Friend!
Saving, helping, keeping, loving,
He is with me to the end.

This is my annual appeal for a @TheMuppets version of @LesMiserables with @russellcrowe as the only human character. Would be brilliant!

This is exactly right!

While tools, historically, have been “labor replacement” for humans, AI is “cognitive” and “creative replacement” for humans.

Yes.

Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking.

Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.

@Bornaga55369098 Interesting claim.

In what sense, though? Can you provide examples? I’m a bit confused by the claim.

[Josh Pannell @JoshPannell]

@tyblacke “O foolish Galatians” might be a good place to start. Along with, “Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith?”

A very helpful book review defending the historicity of Genesis 1-11 by @mlward

"What race did Christ incarnate into? Biblically speaking, the only one there is." Very well said!

@wagraham Thesis: the shorter a sermon is, the less pointed, pastoral application is present, which thus explains its length.

Not always true, but 30-45 minute sermons offen are exposition heavy with application tacked on. Or worse, typology tacked on w/o actually preaching the gospel.

I never scroll past this sermon clip.

Still the most powerful 2 minutes on this app—every single time.

For the first time since 1987, Eastern and Western churches will celebrate Easter on the same day—tomorrow. Here in Ethiopia, where the Orthodox calendar shapes much of the culture, we follow the Eastern date. It’s a joy to celebrate the resurrection with our friends back home.

[Josh Pannell @JoshPannell]

It was a joy today to teach on “Gospel-Centered Living” from Philippians today at IEC.

Drawing from Paul’s own teatimoney in Philippians 3, the central question was,

“Could it be that the very thing keeping you from Christ… is your confidence in your own righteousness?”

Misconception: revival is a kind of strange event from the distant past.

Reality: revival is simply a renewal of the gospel in the church and the world, and God may have many more revivals planned before the second coming.

Thank you @banneroftruth for these books given to Trinity Fellowship Pastors College.

[Josh Pannell @JoshPannell]

@gavinortlund Thanks for this video, Gavin! We're watching among our elder team here at Trinity Fellowship, Addis Ababa. This conversation is a regular one for us here, and we are grateful to have your help.

An outstanding example of how Protestants are not equipped to respond to Ethiopian Orthodoxy in apologetic encounters. This young man, though I do believe he's wrong, clearly presents the faith of the Tewahedo Church, and Stuart/Cliffe seem to have never heard of the position.

[Josh Pannell @JoshPannell]

@gavinortlund Thanks for the resource!

[Josh Pannell @JoshPannell]

@pastorjgkell @jackpsmith_ What are the 4 books it’s not mentioned in? 2-3 John and Philemon, I’m guessing for the first three.

[Josh Pannell @JoshPannell]

@jackpsmith_ Read through this and you’ll be among the most gospel-centered men in history. It’s outstanding!
