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.
🚨🔵🔴 BREAKING: Rodri’s agent confirms he’s picked Barcelona over Real Madrid.
“Out of respect for Madrid, as they have been class, Rodri informed them that his decision is to join Barça”, quotes from his agent Barquero reported by @ellarguero.
Personal terms, 100% agreed. 🫱🏻🫲🏼
@SandoNFL Furthermore, if you switched Lamar with 90% of the tier 2 group from this year, the Ravens would miss the playoffs almost every single season.
Mike...you guys have put Lamar in tier 1 all of 1 season. That's all you need to know about the IQ of the people doing this. Doesn't matter that they're coaches. If you switched Lamar with any other tier 1 QB, the team he goes to would see identical results with the exception being the Chiefs, maybe.
@ReshadRahman@MatteMoretto The problem w/2026 Ferran is he's been a really good backup for Man City, Barcelona, and now Spain and he somehow thinks that makes him Erling Haaland
❤️🩹🇪🇸 Fermín López: “It’s been worst summer, for sure. Everything was going well… feeling in the peak of my form and then the injury arrived”, told Catalunya Radio.
“At first, 𝐈 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 it was tough as I also wanted to be there and play, since I was in my best form”.
“But 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐨, this is my country as those are my teammates, especially the Barcelona players there”.
“It also taught me a lot, I learned a lot… but this setback had really hit me hard. I have to admit that”.
“The goal is to return from this injury with a strong motivation, and 𝐈 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲. Last season, I showed my value and what I can offer to the team. And this season, I must continue to develop and play at the same level as last season”.
