You say you post this out of love, but you chose a grieving family’s rawest moment to publish your theological indictment of the man they just lost. Love that expresses itself by using a man’s death as an occasion to broadcast that he died deceived is not love in any form Christ would recognize. Something deep down in your heart needs everything to be about you. I have a feeling this is a character flaw those close to you have brought up before.

Paul wrote what love actually looks like: it “suffereth long, and is kind… seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked” and “doth not behave itself unseemly” (1 Corinthians 13:4–5). Standing over a fresh grave to remind everyone why YOU are “more determined” in YOUR opposition is the definition of behaving unseemly.

Jesus’ sharpest words for self-proclaimed religious experts who were confident they alone held the truth and saw others the way you see this man (Luke 18:9–14). “Judge not, that ye be not judged” (Matthew 7:1) came from the same mouth you’re quoting. So did “by their fruits ye shall know them” (Matthew 7:16) — and the fruit of your post are hurting friends and family made to feel their loved one is a cautionary tale only you are courageous enough to tell.

You frame silence as the real cruelty. You do not know the Bible. There is a time for everything, including “a time to keep silence” (Ecclesiastes 3:7). Job’s friends did their real damage not just by being wrong about theology, but by lecturing a suffering man about doctrine. “To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend” (Job 6:14). Like them, you have knowledge without wisdom.

Have there been times your life, pastor, in which your wife or your children have not responded well when you cared “too much” to stay quiet? Take time to reflect on their unspoken pain. Paul teaches that the loving thing is to actually be quiet — to mourn with those that mourn (Romans 12:15), not to preach at them before they’ve chosen a casket.

@BudElliott3 Bud,

1. Huge fan of the Cover 3, I never miss a show
2. The only flaw you see with BYU is their ability to pass the ball against elite teams, but with everything else being so stellar, I understand not top 10, but you still wouldn’t have them as the 15th team in the country?

This was a fun day 🤠

I don’t care how many Cougarboard posts the official BYU accounts make… get the man some help. You do it for basketball. Do it for football.

Hints at an opinion I've been homing in on: The SEC hasn't fallen off in any way, and a few teams have improved -- avg SP+ rating in 2024-25: 14.0; avg in the 10 years prior: 13.1 -- but UGA's taken a step back, Bama's taken two, and that's the entire perceptions difference.

[Jonny Linehan @jlinehan9]

Gotta be better, Cougs. You signed the code. Don’t be selfish. When you do dumb stuff you’re ruining the culture Kalani has worked to build over the last 10 years. No excuses.

@Pshark14 Maybe just don’t be a jerk? Root for your team and don’t seek to bring others down. So many solid people at USU, your negativity isn’t a great representation of them.

[Spencer Linton @Spencer_Linton]

@AMarkham_UN Okay… so your whole platform IS to try and rage bait people. You obviously don’t care about the truth. Your currency is clicks. Well… at least you answered my question. I thought you were better than that, man. Disappointing.

[Spencer Linton @Spencer_Linton]

@EricTLund I have no problem with people “guessing” as long as they present it as a guess. I DO take issue with folks who claim any measure of journalistic integrity recklessly and very publicly proclaiming false figures and information as fact.

[Jillian Michaels @JillianMichaels]

Regardless of who sits in the Oval Office, I’ll stand with the parents of a murdered child.
I’ll stand on the idea that protecting American citizens comes first.
I’ll stand for our athletes who wore our flag and brought home gold.
I’ll stand against medicalizing kids without parental consent.

These aren’t “policy positions.”
They’re baseline human values.

If your entire political identity is just resist at all costs, even when what you’re resisting is the lowest-hanging fruit for common ground - it betrays your true incentives: power over people. The American people deserve better.

AJ Dybantsa is insane. World class talent and all heart. Baller.

“One reason people rush so quickly to the vulgar satisfactions of judgment, and love to revel in their righteous outrage, is that it spares them from the impotent pain of empathy, and the harder, messier work of understanding.”

I was charged with Felony Assault and locked up without bail when I played for BYU. Attempted Murder chargers were pending.

Anytime a @Utah_Football or @BYUfootball player gets arrested we need to try our hardest to reserve judgement until we have all the facts.

[Kyle Griffitts @Palangicowboy]

@RayCoug Your perspective is your perspective. Which is totally fair. But I didn’t see @gregwrubell s comments the same way you did. Matter of fact, I view your comments towards him as a bigger issue. Putting words in his mouth and insinuating things is the real problem.

@joewheat27 @BarstoolUSU Ever lol

[@BYU4eva @BYU4eva]

Remember when the Utes used to rub the truck leases in our faces to show their NIL superiority?

Good times.
