@zaracubed Well, the problem with this is that my Creator commanded me to tell everyone about Him! Isn’t it amazing that I can have a personal relationship with the creator of all creation and tell everyone how they can know Him too?!?!?!, Yea, I think it’s pretty amazing myself.😁
@capsplswin @MLS@PhilaUnion Makes sense I haven’t known of any concussions from heading a ball correctly though. It’s not like there is a lot of headers in Middle school soccer to begin with. Travel teams do it, regular school leagues do it too at this age. It’s aspect of the game I’ll miss this season.
Since he turned 35, Lionel Messi has played 3,633 minutes of football, the equivalent of 40 full games.
In that time, he’s scored 30 goals, assisted 21 goals, completed 119 dribbles, created 108 chances, got MOTM in 46% of games.
He also won the World Cup.
Fine wine.
@TerriGreenUSA why did u block me? My pastor just showed me ur tweets and was talking about you. I went to follow you and turns out I’m blocked?!?! Please let me follow.
In 1986, The American Medical Association published an article titled "The Physical Death of Jesus Christ". It details the entire process of Jesus' trial to His death on the cross.
In Luke 22, before Jesus is arrested, it is written that He was in great distress & sweating blood. Although rare, it is recognized as Hematidrosis, caused by high amounts of stress.
At the time, the crucifixion was considered the worst death for the worst of criminals. But this is not all Jesus faced. He endured whipping so severe that it tore the flesh from His body. He was beaten so horrific that His face was torn & His beard ripped.
A crown of thorns, 2-3 inches long cut deeply into His scalp. The leather whip used to flog Him had tiny iron balls & sharp bones. The balls caused internal injuries while the sharp bones ripped open His flesh. His skeletal muscles, veins, & bowels we're exposed, causing major blood loss. Most men do not survive this kind of torture. After Jesus was severely flogged, He was forced to carry His own cross while people mocked & spat on Him.
Crucifixion was a process meant to instill excruciating pain, creating a slow & agonizing death. Nails as long as 8 inches were driven into Jesus' wrists & feet. The Roman soldiers knew the tendon in the wrists would tear & break, forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support Himself to breathe. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the courage..Jesus endured this reality for 3 hours!
The Gospel of John writes that after Jesus' death, a Roman soldier pierced His side with a spear & blood & water came out. Scientists explain that from hypovolemic shock, the rapid heartrate causes fluid to gather in the sack around the lungs & heart. The gathering of fluid in the membrane around the heart is called Pericardial effusion & the lungs, Pleural effusion.
To the world, Christianity is as foolish as it can get. They believe it's for the weak. But when you are confronted by the reality of the cross, it's clearly not a pretty sight. It is brutal & horrific.
This is the weight Jesus carried. The weight of the sins of the world, all so that we can live. God's wrath is fully satisfied in Jesus. This is what it took. Repent & believe! Jesus is “God among us” in the flesh. Jesus is our Savior. Jesus loves you so much, He went through this spiritual and physical punishment for your sins and mine.
Jesus is LORD, Almighty God, Everlasting Father.

@TomBuck@keahbone He did say perhaps, I read it as some people perspective rather than his personal. And I understand ur heart, and am with you. I do appreciate him trying to take this on the way he is, considering the others he has to work with/for. Cannot be easy. Again, one of the few I trust
@JhayFBCS @ScottAniol Valid, both can be true. Both hymns and contemporary. I just think he was referring to not modern hymns. Feel like he is Takin shots a contemporary he doesn’t like and putting under one category imo.
