I love passionately worshipping Jesus, Randomly sticking my nose in where it probably doesn't belong, and occasionally doing Radical things just for fun.

In this season of shifting sands and narrow paths, do not mistake the weight of the transition for the absence of provision. You have walked through a time that tested the power of your endurance, where the days felt like long, steep climbs. Yet, even in the quiet of your uncertainty, know that you have been held by God.

Just as the desert brook once became a table in the wilderness for Elijah, the unexpected will become your daily bread in the days ahead. Keep your eyes open for the messengers that arrive in the most ordinary of forms; the small, sudden signs that whisper you are seen are on their way.

Do not despise the humble nature of your provision; it is a sign that the hand of God is working in what you think is mundane, but the Lord is turning the "day-to-day" into a testament of His faithfulness.

Recognize that the transition is not a place of depletion, but a place of preparation! The brook may seem to recede; just know the promise remains: you have a DESTINY that will be fully fulfilled!

I’m not at liberty to share all the details, but suffice it to say that many people rejoicing over this have given a completely incorrect rendering of what occurred and why.

ICE did not come to his home. This whole thing is a paperwork issue that they’re working to resolve.

Samuel Sey is a good man. As you can imagine, his wife, who’s at home with their 3 babies, is devastated and also trusting the Lord to help them find a resolution quickly. Please pray for all of the Seys. Pray for wisdom and provision.

Those celebrating because they don’t like something Sam said are slanderous backbiters and gossips. Pay them no mind

If you are here illegally, we will find you, arrest you, and DEPORT you.

@Protestia @SlowToWrite Google: Sey—who is a Canadian citizen—was allegedly traveling to Tennessee for a media appearance when he was stopped. He was reportedly unable to provide immediate evidence of legal U.S. residency and was subsequently detained.

@JDShuttlesworth @BonaFideAdalis If I'm carrying, and I have more practice time, I'm watching the door, regardless of what the chair looks like.

Your suitcase shouldn’t be a “we’ll deal with it at the checkpoint” situation.

PackSmart. Check before you pack for any leftover items in an old backpack or suitcase. Your future self (and your TSA officer) will appreciate it.

@lancewallnau All of them, although we used "kittywampas" and I still do.

@RugbyIke @BiblicalBeauty Well, maybe they should move the "catching up" to the foyer or outside and let the sanctuary be a place of worship, not casual chit chat.

King Helü of Wu tested Sun Tzu around 512 BC by handing him 180 palace women and two favorite concubines to train as a military unit. When the women laughed and disobeyed the drills, Sun Tzu executed the two concubine commanders despite the King's frantic pleas to stop...

Around 512 BC, according to the ancient historian Sima Qian, Sun Tzu was summoned before King Helü of Wu.

The king had read "The Art of War." He was impressed. But he wanted proof.

Test my theories, Sun Tzu told him. Give me 180 of your palace women.

Helü agreed. He sent them out into the courtyard.

Sun Tzu divided the women into two companies. He appointed two of the king's favorite concubines as commanders. He explained the drill in simple terms: when the drum beats twice, face left. When it beats three times, face right.

The drum sounded. The women laughed.

Sun Tzu repeated the instructions. He explained them a second time, carefully. He asked if they understood. They said they did.

The drum sounded again. The women laughed again.

Sun Tzu said: if the instructions were unclear, the fault is the commander's. But the instructions were given twice, clearly understood, and still not followed. That fault belongs to the officers.

He ordered the two concubines executed.

The king, watching from a platform above the courtyard, sent down a message immediately: he had seen enough. He was satisfied with Sun Tzu's ability. Could the execution be cancelled?

Sun Tzu sent back a reply. A general in the field does not receive orders from the sovereign, he said. He carried out the executions.

Then he appointed two new commanders from the ranks of the women, beat the drum, and gave the order.

The women moved in perfect formation. Not a sound.

Helü never doubted him again. Sun Tzu went on to command Wu's armies in some of the most successful campaigns in Spring and Autumn period China.

The story is extraordinary. It is also worth knowing where it comes from.

Sima Qian recorded it in his "Records of the Grand Historian," written around 100 B.C. Sun Tzu is believed to have lived in the late sixth century B.C. That puts a gap of roughly four centuries between the man and the account.

Historians still debate whether Sun Tzu was a single historical figure at all, or a composite of several strategists whose ideas were gathered under one name. The palace women episode does not appear in any earlier source.

What we can say with confidence: "The Art of War" is real, it is very old, and it has shaped military thinking across every century since.

Whether the courtyard ever fell silent after those two drum beats, that part we hold a little more loosely.

The king sent down a pardon. Sun Tzu sent it back. Whoever wrote that scene understood something true about command, whether or not it happened.

The Mall of America banned me from worshipping and praying inside.

Now the FBI says it just thwarted an ISIS-inspired terror plot targeting the mall, allegedly planned by a man who pledged allegiance to ISIS and intended to kill dozens of people.

Maybe it’s time to rethink who the real threat is.

Please remove EVERYTHING from your pockets before the security process begins.

Place items such as keys, pocket jerky, granola bars, bananas, socks, tissues, gum, and mints in your carry-on bag.

This saves everyone time and helps keep our lines moving.

9 years ago today, we sang “God Bless America” in Vegas. Soon after, the bullets ripped through the stage and crowd, and 58 country music fans were killed. We honor their memory today 🙏

@TheMuppetPastor She was first flagged at TSA for carrying 100 ml containers of 100 proof, until they did the math and discovered that 100 ml is equal to the 3.4 oz allowance.

A teacher was arrested in Tampa Airport after boarding a plane with a ruler, compass, and calculator.

“She was a member of Al-Gebra and possessed weapons of math instruction. Al-Gebra members hide their names with X or Y, but all have a common denominator.”

She’s now in prism.
