What do you pray when you may die in the next hour?
A soldier from WWI wrote this poem with just that in mind. It is simple and beautiful. I hope you enjoy.
"The heart of @dalepartridge's argument is those final lines, 'Christ allows for heavenly fellowship. But language, culture, shared ancestry, history, and geography allow for earthly fellowship'.... As with any teaching claiming biblical authority, we should be like the Bereans (Acts 17:11) and test it against the Scriptures to see if it is true."

"The blood of Christ, which binds his church together, is stronger than the blood we share with our relatives. We are more closely related at an ontological level to the body of Christ than we are to our unbelieving family. I finish with the wise words and wonderful illustrations of Chrysostom, 'Let us suppose there to be two statues, the one of silver, the other of lead, and then that both shall be melted down, and that the two shall come out gold. Behold, thus hath He made the two one.'" From my recent Substack article discussing Dale's incorrect views on race. Link below and in my bio.

@SlowToWrite Thank you for your consistency in pointing out Dale’s wrongheaded views! If anyone is interested, I wrote a response to his ideas on race a few weeks ago on Substack, link below and in my bio!
A.I. writing cannot replace humans! No matter how good your prompt and how many times you tweak it, the finished product will never be what you want. It may be technically, grammatically, correct, better than you could write, but it will never be better than what you could write. Why? Because the conglomeration of your life experiences makes the writing yours.
Stop using generative A.I.!
