@JohnCornyn Surely there’s an intern or someone under the influence of pain meds who typed and posted that, right?

[Melissa the Hopeful🏠Homemaker @BiblicalBeauty]

Steven Bartlett, host of the podcast, The Diary of a CEO, released an interview with Christian apologist, John Lennox, this week, and his closing comments to him were fascinating:

"One of the most compelling arguments for God that you've presented (and your way of seeing the world and being) is not actually necessarily anything you've written in your books or not not necessarily anything you've said. It is actually you.

You have a certain peace and contentment that I rarely see in people that I interview, but I often see, and I've almost always seen, in the Christians that I've interviewed, and this is a interesting phenomenon for me...it seems to be a trend that a lot of the Christian apologists that I've interviewed have that anchoring that so many of us are looking for."

What a great witness.

Heaven never says, ‘Oops.’

Every single baby this world calls ‘unplanned’ is still intentionally created by God with dignity, value, and purpose.

🚨JUST IN: Louisiana’s Incumbent U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy has been primaried.

Cassidy notably voted to convict President Donald Trump when Democrats impeached him.

To my neighbors in Louisiana...are any land owners down there being threatened with eminent domain from companies who want to engage in Carbon capture and sequestration? If so, I'd like to know about it. Hit me up in the replies.

House votes 86-9 for bill by Rep. Chris Turner that would give public colleges the ability to raise tuition and fees by up to 15% a year without needing additional legislative approval. HB1084 heads to the Senate for debate. #lalege #laed

@AAGDhillon Thank you from Louisiana.

[Wes Huff @WesleyLHuff]

This Easter, I invite you to look at Jesus, consider what he said and did, and ask for yourself what I believe is the most important question you will ever answer: Did he really leave behind an empty tomb? And if he did, what does that mean for you?

This video was made possible and in collaboration with my friends at @ChildlikeMedia.

[Wes Huff @WesleyLHuff]

Jesus makes the difference.

@BiblicalBeauty Read about Joni Eareckson in an elementary school textbook 40 years ago. Was in awe of her story then and even more now, decades later as her testimony endures.

[Marc Minter @marcminter]

Yesterday, I posted about asking your pastor to lunch or coffee, and apparently a lot of folks have strong feelings about such things.

I noted that it would be excellent if you'd tell your pastor what you'd like to talk about beforehand - "Pastor, can we get lunch? I'd like to talk about..."

Wise words

“My name’s Frank. I’m 64, a retired electrician.
Forty-two years I spent running wires through houses, fixing breakers, making sure people had light in their kitchens and heat in their winters. Never once did anyone ask me where I went to college. Mostly, they just wanted to know if I could get the power back on before their ice cream melted.

Last May, I was at my granddaughter Emily’s school career day. You know the drill — doctors, lawyers, a software guy in a slick suit talking about “scaling startups.” I was the only one there with a tool belt and work boots.

When it was my turn, I told the kids, “I don’t have a degree. I’ve never sat in a lecture hall. But I’ve wired schools, hospitals, and your principal’s house. And when the hospital generator failed during a snowstorm in ’98, I was the one in the basement with a flashlight, keeping the lights on for newborn babies upstairs.”

The kids leaned forward. They had questions — real ones. “How do you fix stuff in the dark?” “Do you make a lot of money?” “Do you ever get zapped?” (Yes, once, and it’ll curl your hair.)

When the bell rang, one boy hung back. Small kid, freckles, hoodie too big for him. He mumbled, “My uncle’s a plumber. People laugh at him ’cause he didn’t finish high school. But… he’s the only one in the family who can fix anything.”

I looked that boy in the eye and said, “Kid, your uncle’s a hero. When your toilet overflows at midnight, Harvard ain’t sending anyone. A plumber is.”

Here’s the thing nobody told me when I was young — the world doesn’t run without tradespeople. You can have all the engineers you want, but if nobody builds the house, wires the power, or lays the pipes, those blueprints just sit in a drawer.

We’ve made it sound like trades are what you do if you can’t go to college, instead of a path you choose because you like working with your hands, solving problems, and seeing your work stand solid for decades.

Four years after high school, some kids walk away with diplomas. Others walk away with zero debt, a union card, and a skill they can take anywhere in the world. And guess what? When your furnace dies in January, it’s not the diploma that saves you.

A few weeks ago, that same freckled kid’s mom stopped me at the grocery store. She said, “You probably don’t remember, but you told my son trades are important. He’s shadowing his uncle this summer. First time I’ve seen him excited about anything in years.”

That’s the part we forget — for some kids, knowing their path is respected changes everything. It’s not about “just” fixing wires or pipes. It’s about pride. Purpose. The kind that sticks with you long after the job’s done.

So next time you meet a teenager, don’t just ask, “Where are you going to college?” Ask, “What’s your plan?” And if they say, “I’m learning to weld,” or “I’m starting an apprenticeship,” smile big and say, “That’s fantastic. We’re going to need you.”

Because we will. More than ever. And when the lights go out, you’ll be glad they showed up.”

After interviewing @JoelBeeke, Rev. Geoffrey Thomas, Pastor Rick Phillips, and Dr. Paul Smalley about biblical manhood, one statement stopped me cold.

Beeke has met hundreds of thousands of Christians across dozens of countries. He's never heard ONE person say this 🧵

[Sarah Crooks Clancy @SarahCrooksClan]

@JoelWBerry I would be surprised if there was a church out there that didn't make a special appeal on Sunday for donations of food or money for their community food bank in light of the government shutdown and delay of SNAP benefits. I know my church did.

[Jared Moore @jaredhmoore]

My family went to church with Kent and Rosaria Butterfield yesterday. They’re the real deal. Kent lives what he preaches and Rosaria lives what she writes.

Kent is a teaching elder and this is a normal Lord’s Day for them:

Morning Worship,
Fellowship Meal,
Afternoon Service,
Prayer Meeting.

After the prayer meeting, they invited the church to their home for food and fellowship, which they do each Sunday.

We ate, talked, and hung out. Rosaria ran around serving everyone. After Kent led the evening devotion, my family left around 8 PM, and church folks and neighbors were still there.

Folks say, “Don’t meet your heroes.” But when they’re exceptional Christians, you should meet them and imitate them. I’m grateful for the Butterfield’s.

For those whose conscience is weak about Halloween (Rom. 14:1–6), here’s a list that may help you discern what’s inherently sinful and what’s not.

Not inherently sinful:
• Carving a pumpkin
• Eating candy
• Wearing a costume
• Spending time with neighbors
• Decorating your porch

Inherently sinful:
• Glorifying death or demons
• Practicing witchcraft or divination
• Joining in occult rituals
• Promoting gore, lust, or violence
• Mocking God or sin

You CAN do the things in the first list WITHOUT doing the things in the second list.
