Our Savior's love for each of us is the model for our love of others. "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others" [Philippians 2:3-4 NIV].

"Jesus restored a blind man's sight in the city, according to the Bible, and fed thousands with five loaves of bread and two fish... The team has been digging the site... since 2016 and has uncovered mosaic masterpieces, churches, house walls and more..." https://t.co/MUJx8HZPFK

"Praise the Lord, my soul... praise his holy name... forget not all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things..." [Psalm 103:1-5].

"The chamber's incorporation into Constantine's 4th century basilica also demonstrates that Christians were venerating it by that period.... it provides evidence of an early and deliberate effort to preserve the location. https://t.co/h2d9drZv4g

Bible engagement data: Barna reveals that 42% of U.S. adults now say they read the Bible weekly, up 12 points from the 15-year low of 30% in 2024. Unpack the difference between reading Scripture and being formed by it... https://t.co/6Jt722tmWP

“Give me an undivided heart, that I may fear Your name” (Psalm 86:11). What parts of your heart remain unconquered by your Lord Jesus and His love? Where do you serve Him only half-heartedly? In faith, pray the psalmist's prayer for a whole-hearted devotion.

"(The Christian) is hostile toward every sin. If, out of rashness & weakness, he falls into sin, he doesn't persist in it... he is ashamed... confesses (it) to God and prays for forgiveness. He lets his fall serve as a warning, & becomes more humble & watchful." [CFW Walther]

“When (the Christian) performs his earthly business, he does so with a mind directed toward God. He can no longer be indifferent as evil thoughts go through his mind. If they arise, he sighs and prays against them." [CFW Walther]

"The person who is justified becomes a completely different person. He begins to live for Jesus instead of for himself. Concern for the salvation of his soul busies his heart endlessly.” [CFW Walther]

[Peace Lutheran @PeaceLutheranNM]

“In justification, as that person is declared by the heavenly Father to be His child for the sake of Christ's atonement, the Holy Spirit begins the work of sanctification in his heart. It may begin very slowly, but the transformation is real." [CFW Walther]

[Peace Lutheran @PeaceLutheranNM]

“A poor person, mourning over his sins, often does not know he has already been justified... Its first fruit is [he be] born again. He receives a new heart & a new mind that no longer loves sin but instead loves God and His Word. He now (desires) a godly life.” [CFW Walther]

"These are the ones I look on with favor: those who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who tremble at my word." [Isaiah 66:2 NIV]

Interesting... although unnecessary. "Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth" [John 17:17] "[If other scholars accept the discovery], then this will likely be acknowledged as the first contemporary proof of the Biblical figure of Moses." https://t.co/TWLAyynTvp

All of Scripture is a relentless record of humankind's sins and flaws against God and man. Even his own people's sins and flaws. Do you still have any doubts that we are saved alone by God's grace in Christ Jesus through faith? [cf. Ephesians 2:8-10].

And let's not forget the importance of Christian art and stained-glass windows for similar purposes. The disciples were not uneducated or illiterate (by most standards), "Given... that Hebrew boys were required to memorize the Torah before age twelve." https://t.co/ujabnnpQM3

"Open Doors' 2026 World Watch List revealed more Christians have been killed in Nigeria than in any other country in the last year. 72% of Christians killed last year were Nigerians." [1 Peter 5:9; Revelation 2:10]. https://t.co/N3EPxciDEQ

"Pastor Jin [was targeted by] authorities not because he advocated for political revolution, but... led one of the largest & most influential Protestant 'house church' movements in China. He insisted that his movement answer to Christ, not the government." https://t.co/om81KPKOxX

"It's the job of theoretical physicists to explore everything that's possible, to get all the possibilities on the table." Indeed, that will no doubt include Colossians 1:15-17: "The Son is the image of the invisible God... in him all things hold together" https://t.co/HEaXgXfrfE

"Tacitus & Josephus support... Jesus existed as a real person, was known by the name Jesus, gathered followers in Judea & was executed under Pontius Pilate... Ancient critics... attacked Jesus in many ways but rarely questioned [his existence]" https://t.co/NsVeMftIKP
