🚨 A Club NO Family Wants To Join
@KelseyGrammer: “My father was gunned down in his carport… My sister was abducted and raped and murdered when she was 18.”
“Because of the work of the men and women of the police departments throughout this country and because of work that Donald Trump has done, for the first time in my life, I could rely on the idea that fewer families would be joining my club this year.”
Jesus isn't about morals and good guys. In fact, he's against using those things in place of a real relationship and modeling His character, not just what we perceive to be "good."
This is so very true! But it really depicts growing up as a kid in the 60's as well. We truly were captured by our own imagination & creativity rather than led by digital devices & highly structured "play" orchestrated by parents. @Dina_Shakti
Why was all of creation cursed because of Adam’s sin?
Adam brought sin into the world because he was the head of the human race and the one to whom the commandment “do not eat from the tree…” had first been given. Even though Eve was the one tempted by the serpent and the one who first ate the forbidden fruit, Adam is given the blame for sin. We all sin in Adam.
Romans 5:12 states: “Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned.” Because of this sin of rebelling against God’s law, God cursed the ground (Genesis 3:17), caused thorns and thistles to come forth (Genesis 3:18), and introduced death into the world—Adam and Eve died spiritually and started to die physically.
Hebrews 9:22 states that “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.” God requires the shedding of blood for the remission of sins. However, the blood of bulls and goats can’t take away our sin because we are not animals. Because a man brought sin into the world, a man needed to atone—but it had to be a perfect man. If all descendants of Adam now suffered from sin, how could this be accomplished?
God provided a second (last) Adam—a perfect Adam who could be the perfect sacrifice. God himself came to earth as a man. Jesus Christ, the second member of the Trinity, was born of a woman to become a man so that the perfect sacrifice could be made. Jesus was God, but he was also man as God intended man to be—sinless. He was crucified on the cross of Calvary. He shed his blood, paid the penalty for our sins, and was raised from the dead, conquering death, the judgment which God had brought upon man because of sin.
And “if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9).
I pray all reading this are saved for eternity.
On this day in 1943, my parents @BillyGraham and Ruth Bell were married in a chapel in Montreat, NC. My mother wore a handmade wedding dress and, 50 years later, surprised my father by putting it on for their 50th anniversary. I thank God for the example they set of love, marriage, and faithfulness to God throughout their many years together.
Brad Pitt just gave one of the most honest interviews of his career.
He opened up about a season of deep darkness and pain—and admitted there was a time when life felt overwhelming.
Brad once asked, “Why does it all feel like desperation, loneliness, and isolation?”—even when we have the car and the condo?
Maybe that’s because what we’re really looking for isn’t found in possessions, success, or a screen. It’s found in a Person—Jesus Christ.
I share more about Brad’s story and why the answer to our deepest longings is found in Christ in this short video.
Jesus is coming back. But until He does, we don’t sit idle while evil runs rampant.
We stand for truth, fight for what’s right, and refuse to surrender.
We don’t have to bow to darkness just because the world does.
