@mokeyandabandit @AriZonanHODL Emotionless Christianity is empty, hollow, and powerless. And is nothing like our God, who will rule the nations and walk among us as an emotional, passionate, and perfect King.

@brent_steeno Philippians 2 is a monster. Love it. Thanks for sharing.

@FieldNas So good.

@braxton_mccoy Lol 46 with a 2YO and a newborn. Both boys. Tell me about old.

There's no fountain of youth, but children are the closest thing I've found to it. Train everyday. Enjoy the ride.

@pnggolfoop @MikeWingerii It's going to get worse before it gets better. God is cleansing the pulpit.

@JoshuaBarzon God loves you with the same love with which he loves Jesus. John 17:26

When God does move, and I believe he will, these "celebrities" won't recognize it nor will they, without repentance, participate in it.

It's going to look far different than the egocentric, self-promoted platform "Christianity" these guys proclaim. They're modern day Caiaphus-types, overlooking what's within to maintain appearances without.

[CEH @CeHolsworth]

I think I understand and appreciate your intent here, but I believe it misses the mark.

Fellow charismatic here who has spent the last 20+ years "in these streams."

I don't believe the HOW matters NEARLY as much as the fact that the corruption is being exposed.

This doesn't come from bitterness. It does come from jealous, righteous anger over the mistreatment of Jesus' church.

Happy to discuss directly if you're interested.

@drantbradley @__Poisonivyyy Wild and disappointing take.

[The Biblical Man @Biblicalman]

My son was the best behaved boy at the lunch table. He was also the one with no lunch.

A boy twice his size took it. He said nothing. He used his words. The teacher pulled him aside after and told him he had done the right thing. The teacher does not have to live with him at fifteen.

He climbed in the back seat that afternoon and did not say a word the whole way home.

I had taught him this.

Not on purpose. But I had.

Twelve years of Sunday School drawings showing David's slingshot and never the skull it crushed. Twelve years of Jesus pictures where He looks like a folk singer. A house where Dad raised his voice once a week and apologized for it on Sunday. A pulpit that told him a
real Christian boy is a calm Christian boy.

He had been trained.
He had been trained well.
He had been trained to be eaten quietly.

And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead.
1 Samuel 17:49 KJV

The slingshot was not a toy.
David was not non-threatening.
David put a rock through a man's skull at fourteen.

Everyone tells you to raise a gentle son. Use his words. Turn the other cheek twice. Be the bigger person. They are wrong.

Christ braided the whip Himself.
He walked into the temple.
He flipped tables while other men were sitting at them.
He drove men out with a weapon He made with His own hands.

You will not find this Jesus in your son's children's church.
You will not find Him on your wife's coffee mug.

That Jesus is not in the Book.
That Jesus is in the marketing.

Paul wrote to the church at Corinth. Not to the army. Not to the prison. To men in pews.

Quit you like men, be strong.
1 Corinthians 16:13 KJV

He did not write be gentle.
He did not write be quiet.
He wrote BE STRONG.

Your daughter is watching you raise her brother.
She is making notes about what kind of man she will marry.
She will marry one who looks like him.
And she will resent him for the same reason she resented her brother.

The wolves are not impressed by his manners.
The wolves are deciding whether he can be eaten quietly.

Are you raising a son?
Or are you training a target?

Love TJ Oshie. He is right.

And the comments are proof that this is endemic in too many of today's players (and general population).

Bring back unselfish teammate cellys!

[TJ Oshie @TJOshie77]

Love Newhook going to the hard areas and getting rewarded. But… I cannot stand these kids scoring goals and then blatantly skating by their teammates to celebrate alone. If you go through 5 guys and score then go ahead and do your thing. Any other scenario give your teammates some love. Especially in playoffs! #team

I don’t fit neatly into the usual Christian boxes:

Orthodox
Reformed
Liberal
Dispensational

About 15 years ago, it became clear to me that each of these systems, in different ways, lacks continuity from Genesis to Revelation. They all attempt to make sense of the Scriptures—but each leaves gaps.

God Himself established a hermeneutic, and He did so in the Torah.

When you follow that framework, His interpretation remains consistent. Jesus does not reinterpret or overturn the Law and the Prophets—He speaks in complete alignment with them. His exegesis confirms what was already established.

This was never meant to be complicated. God meant what He said and said what He meant. When you hold to that, the major themes of Scripture remain stable and coherent from beginning to end.

When Gentile traditions depart from this, they become derivative—systems built outside the interpretive framework given by the Father and upheld by the Son.

First-century Jews understood the testimony of the Law and the Prophets to speak of real, future fulfillment—things God would accomplish as He declared. Messianic Jews still hold to this today. Many Orthodox Jews do as well. Gentiles who humble themselves before Jewish election also become sons of Abraham by faith and should hope and believe in those same things.

But…

Many modern Gentile frameworks contradict this, recasting those promises as primarily “spiritual” fulfillments instead, erasing Jewish election, and making Jesus the hero of a story He didn’t write— a story removed from Israel and the promises He and His Father intentionally made.

That shift departs from the Father’s hermeneutic and the Son’s exegesis.

If you’ve never wrestled with this, there’s a good chance you’re operating inside a framework you didn’t even realize you inherited. I can assure you that if you unplug from that framework and ask the Holy Spirit to help you see the Scriptures as they are meant to be seen you will not regret it.

@justinrizzmusic Go Sabres!

Luke Falk shared a Mike Leach story that stopped me cold:

Two kids. One rich. One poor.

Every training camp, Coach Leach told his team about these 2 kids.

The rich kid has two choices.

Get soft. Get entitled. Expect everything handed to him because he was handed more.

Or take the resources, the coaching, the opportunities, and compound them into something greater.

The poor kid has two choices too.

Say nobody gave him anything. Blame the world. Make his circumstances the reason he never became what he could have been.

Or outwork everyone in the room.

Luke said the locker room had both. Kids from wealth. Kids from nothing. Kids with every advantage. Kids who scraped for every inch.

Same choice for all of them.

Ownership or victimhood.
Fuel or excuse.

The rich kid can waste the head start or build on it.

The poor kid can drown in the deficit or weaponize it.

Greatness doesn't come from where you start.

It comes from which kid you choose to feed.

@JamesMaillette Decent skater.

@1SonuvaGunn Just had this conversation this morning with a dear brother, @aplavigne.

With pride comes denominationalism, sectarianism, and legalism.

Sad.

Let them come!

@JamesMaillette @NHLPittsburgh_ @NHLFlyers It is. Great seeing the old guard make one more stand against the young bucks who are taking over the league.
