“The anti-Semite doesn’t accuse the Jew of stealing because he actually believes he stole. He accuses the Jew of stealing because he enjoys watching the Jew empty his pockets to prove his innocence.”

Just broke my own Personal Record (PR) for "Most Come Alive Daily Audio File Recordings In One Sitting" which can mean only one thing:

I'm just tired and bored with myself.

Proximity is destiny. Or something like that.

Come Alive Daily for Hosea 4:1-3 in which we see a new Scriptural genre emerge -- the Sermonic Lawsuit. Also: we see how someone forgets to do the hyperlinks. Check it all here: https://t.co/OxPCAGOZDN @jonell_shelby @jhaskinscabrera

Come Alive Daily for Hosea 2:14-23 as we see parallels between the prophet's narrative style and that of Revelation. Really? Really. Here: https://t.co/hoCKBYKmuu @jonell_shelby @jhaskinscabrera @invite_ministry

@KeithMcilwain They tried to replace substance with silliness and it simply didn't work. Thx for reminder, Keith.

You don't GET RIGHT with God by what you've done. You're MADE RIGHT through what he did.

@OfficialJonaveh The Bolsheviks called them "kulaks" & that could be making its way stateside

[Talbot Davis @TalbotDavis]

@jon_van_dop They already did away with celibacy in singleness for clergy, so I would say yes

Every critic of gay marriage said this was the logical outcome; virtually every mainstream proponent of gay marriage assured us it would never happen.

And here we are.

Good morning.

I am thankful for the Gospel that defines me.
I am thankful for the Father who pursues me.
I am thankful for the Son who rescues me.
I am thankful for the Spirit who inhabits me.
I am thankful for the church that surrounds me.
I am thankful for the Scriptures that shape me.
I am thankful for obstacles that mature me.
I am thankful for the future that awaits me.

Amen.

@BibleU777 That is a fun fact. Next church plant: Mob Church.

The Young Adult LifeGroup I lead is doing the same Galatians & Ephesians from study as the rest of the church. Last night, to give context to the "Letter to the Ephesians," we explored the "Riot in Ephesus" from Acts 19:23-41. (Pretty smart, eh?)

The riot there started because Paul's proclamation of Jesus was so persuasive that the Ephesian people stopped worship pagans gods and by extension ceased buying idols crafted from silver. They were putting the silversmiths out of business and VOILA!, riot rooted in the profit margin.

So the curriculum from asks, "What kinds of businesses could and should our church negatively impact?" Their answers below:

The porn industry
False teachers of the Gospel
Casinos
Kalshi & other sports betting apps
Abortion clinics
Divorce industry
Etsy witches (it's a real thing)
Brothels
Centers for other religions (temples, mosques, etc)
Vape shops
Lobbyists
Rehab centers

Ah, the goodness and sweetness of Jesus so overwhelming that all those pretenders disappear in his wake, riot or not.

I ended the evening quite glad I was surrounded by such a table of wisdom.
