Divine wisdom is reserved for those who draw in close.
Reverent relationship, and not haute knowledge, is the cypher of wisdom.
Christ is the divine wisdom/logos of God revealed in relationship with us!

Why would you expect a societal ideal promising equality, that’s garnered through enforced equity, is anything other than ENVY wrapped in “justice’s” clothing!

Learn of “Hope” from those who have it, while having every reason to have none!

An edifying practice: convert anxiety about the state of the world to prayer for the advance of the gospel, the thwarting of evil, and the speedy return of Christ.
@gavinortlund A wonderful addition Gavin!
I have many members of family that have been wooed by the aesthetics of RCC
For the sake of fully engaging, they remit finished work of Christ, placing Him back on the cross for need of salvation
Tis a grievous rejection
Thank you Gavin!
@DrFrankTurek There is but one door.
Narrow is the gate.
Jesus is THE way, THE TRUTH, and THE life.
Our propensity to sacrifice the cornerstone of truth for “inclusion” or other considerations, diminishes our “saltiness”. Our LIGHT set upon a hill
@gavinortlund Extremely happy for you Gavin!
There have been many formative and meaningful discussions I’ve been involved in recently with people I care deeply about. Having an edifying guide to aid me in my attempts of empathy, and while guarding the truth will be crucial!
Thank you 🙏🏼
@gavinortlund A promise replete with lasting hope!
Growing up in a church where salvation was won and lost in MY perfection (or lack thereof) was exhausting
“But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ”
“Nothing will be able to separate us from the love of God”
BE-A-UTIFUL!!!
John 18:37–38:
For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.” Pilate said to him, “What is truth?”
When I was on @joeroganhq recently I gave @joerogan a facsimile I personally made of P52 (John Ryland’s 457), what is likely our oldest manuscript evidence for the biblical New Testament.
Having a “defense of your faith” often means, as the raconteur’s might say, having the truth “living in your jaw”!
Thank you @WesleyLHuff for proving that even if woken up at 4 am, you would still have a marvelous defense!

@gavinortlund@WesleyLHuff Well done good sir! An articulation of the historicity and veracity of the Bible, from ancient sources, gives us good grounding for an empirical belief in its truth. It gives Joe something tangible to consider and gives his followers something hopeful to discover
Irenaeus tells us that Christ has “shown God to man and man to God”…
This ultimate ambassadorship has come in two forms, but one vessel.
Christ, the Ambassador of the Holy divine to man, and Christ, the Ambassador of justified man to the divine!
