Jesus is Lord!

[David Fischer @DavidFischer]

Can we get 500 people to unashamedly say Jesus is Lord?

@altinisik @ABC I wonder what book fulfilled all the prophecies in the OT 😂

@rhettlashlee Football & soccer are polar opposites w/ regards to culture & future. I completely understand hating seeing your kid cut/relegated, but the best soccer countries in the world preach competing & winning from day 1 as a kid. Let your kid play rec if you want a happy life for them.

When I was Muslim, I never asked who built the golden calf. I just knew it was a sin in the desert.

Then I read both accounts and one detail stopped me cold.

In the Bible, the man who builds the golden calf is AARON. Moses’ own brother. The first high priest. Exodus 32:4.

He gathers the gold, melts it, shapes the idol. And when Moses confronts him, he gives the weakest excuse in scripture: “I threw the gold in the fire and out came this calf.” As if it made itself.

Bro. The Bible just put the worst sin in the camp in the hands of the holiest man in the camp.

You would NEVER write that if you were protecting your prophets.

Now read the Quran. Surah 20. Aaron is cleared. Innocent. He tried to stop it. The blame goes to a mystery man called “al-Samiri.” The Samaritan. Surah 20:85.

You know what shook me? The Bible incriminates its own high priest.

The Quran writes him an alibi and invents a villain.

One reads like an honest record. The other like damage control.

And there’s a second problem with that villain. “The Samaritan.” But Samaritans didn’t exist in Moses’ time.

The city of Samaria wasn’t founded until about 500 years later, under King Omri. 1 Kings 16:24.

It’s like putting a Texan at the Last Supper.

Now, some Muslim scholars push back — they say “Samiri” means something else. I’ll be fair, that argument exists. But their own classical commentators read it as “the Samaritan” for centuries.

The defense only works by re-translating away from how the tradition always understood it.

I used to say the Bible was corrupted. But the Bible is honest enough to say the high priest built the idol.

Only a book honest about how bad we are could point me to a Savior real enough to fix it.

The Bible never flattered Aaron. It didn’t flatter me either. It just told me the truth, and handed me Jesus.

Kevin James dropped a powerful reminder about prayer and God.

He said if you look back at all the things you once prayed desperately about, they all got taken care of, maybe not exactly how you wanted, but in a better way. The things that once kept you up at night aren’t even worries anymore.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God… will guard your hearts and your minds.” - Philippians 4:6-7

NF1 is part of my story.
Epilepsy is part of my story.

But they are not my identity.
I belong to Jesus Christ. My identity is in Him and Him alone.
He saved me because I couldn’t save myself.

And one day I will be where there is no sorrow or pain or suffering. Only peace and joy in the presence of Christ forever and ever.

4 Reasons Why I Post So Much about JESUS.

1. Heaven and Hell are real.

2. Everyone who sees my posts are headed for one of these two places, for eternity.

3. Jesus is the only way to Heaven (John 14:6)

4. I love people, and do not want to see anyone go to Hell!

@realDonaldTrump Not cool man. Colbert is awesome.

@DakMuse4 This was on my birthday and ruined it lol. We 100% did it because Parcells liked coaching Carepenter's father on one of his old teams. Almost nothing pisses me off more than when players/coaches are hired/signed because they have an "in" with the coach.

Tribulation produces perseverance, which develops experience, which ultimately cultivates hope—and this hope will not disappoint you because God’s love has been poured into your heart through the Holy Spirit (Rom 5:3–5).

If I’m honest I’m not feeling overly “hopeful” today. But I thought I’d share a few thoughts from my reading of Romans 5 this morning.

Paul here illustrates hope’s practical power: it emerges through hardship rather than despite it. Hope realigns your perspective so that temporary difficulties become manageable; problems ultimately pass away. When you’re facing difficulty, this reorientation prevents despair from becoming permanent.

Practically, hope motivates righteous action when your flesh grows weary; Paul urged believers not to lose heart in doing good, and hope should fix your eyes on Jesus so you walk in purity as he did. Rather than waiting passively, you actively pursue integrity because you’re anchored to something greater than present circumstances.
Hope then provides something superior to desire, when the world’s temptations appear attractive, hope redirects your longing toward God’s presence, where alone you’ll find the fullness of joy you truly crave.

And this is me speaking to myself — Wes, to put this hope into practice: cultivate Christ-like characteristics and show diligence in service. Hope isn’t passive sentiment but an active anchor that steadies you through life’s storms when you deliberately cling to it.

@SJTomcat @NFL_DovKleiman Lol they're not babies. They're grown people publicly and actively knowing accepting Christ. Calm down man, let God worry about if they're saved or not.

[Steve ✭ @_SteveJames12]

@AntonioBar6918 @NFL_DovKleiman As a white male Christian I 100% rebuke this. I sin every day but how dare you represent Christ as racist. This is not what He preached and I promise you won't be able to have any factual evidence to support this.

[Steve ✭ @_SteveJames12]

@GridironReport2 @MatthewSalud5v @NFL_DovKleiman On the other issue of women silenced, actually had debate about this w/ my class. While I believe this was a cultural context at the time (bc theres tons of women pastors now), at the time women were uneducated & unruly in the church to the point of being segregated in a service.

[Steve ✭ @_SteveJames12]

@GridironReport2 @MatthewSalud5v @NFL_DovKleiman Thank you very much & agree many Christians move the goal posts. Just relating to these 2 issues specifically I believe Peter was following Jesus command to turn the other cheek. I dont think it means God condoned slavery as slavery was created by evil men through their free will

[Steve ✭ @_SteveJames12]

@GridironReport2 @MatthewSalud5v @NFL_DovKleiman Also to clarify I understand where youre coming from & had the same concern about verses like these. If you understand that it was written to a certain audience/time period, its more digestible. At the end of the day whys it a big deal CJ wants to be a better Christian influence?

[Steve ✭ @_SteveJames12]

@GridironReport2 @MatthewSalud5v @NFL_DovKleiman Im in seminary & just studied this. Dispensationalists believe NTs instructions for slaves to obey masters as a literal approach to the text emphasizing that these commands reflect the historical/cultural context of the 1st century Rome rather than a divine endorsement of slavery
