Just wanna reiterate, the "Wholesome alternative" to Bad Bunny's spanish language performance was rapping (lip syncing, badly, apparently) about "topless dancers" and "G's with the 40's and the chicks with beepers."
Pack up your self-righteousness and take a hike, TPUSA, this is a bad, bad joke.
If you are struggling in prayer, or in life, I suggest spending some time in Psalm 27. In the midst of turmoil and chaos, it reminds us to ask for “one thing”: to dwell in his house, to gaze upon his beauty, and to seek him in his temple. Everything else will take care of itself.
Getting through tough times comes from your willingness to do hard things.
Going to the gym, eating clean, and prioritizing your health won’t make bad times go away.
But it'll make you stronger when you inevitably have to deal with them.
“Secularism doesn’t force you to look at porn; secularism doesn’t cause you to deconstruct your faith. Secularism is way more subtle than that. Here is what secularism does to a man.
Secularism disciples a man to learn to live without God.” @JonTyson
“People who plead for stricter and stricter standards of discipleship in the name of a purer church are happy to have a Savior — as long as they can decide whom he saves.” @LarryOsborne#AccidentalPharisee
In the gospel of Luke, the prodigal son doesn't return home because of a renewed love for his father. He comes back home simply to survive because he ran out of money and is starving. And his father is perfectly fine with that.
Just come home. God just wants you home.
“The Bible is clear” is a term often used to force beliefs and morality on people who don’t follow the Bible.
But the Bible IS clear, for those who follow it:
Love your neighbor
Welcome the stranger
Serve the least
Feed the hungry
Forgive debts
Choose the other
Be a peacemaker.
