The Gospel Coalition obviously not familiar with the reality of church plants when picking their photos. Or at least the reality in Europe. That 'church planting' photo has more people in it than entire denominational leaders conferences in Sweden

Here's a stat to be sad about: "Three-quarters of UK children now spend less time outside than prison inmates." From Frey India's superb book 'GIRLS'

I had a delightful conversation with a young man today who's recently came to faith. After hearing the gospel he said: 'I've been looking for this my whole life.'
Here's why: https://t.co/3t0fckC6DC

"The left has a creative vision for the future but it discounts or forgets the past. By contrast the right values the past but struggles with a creative vision for the future." Very insightful from someone on a recent podcast I heard.

Do not overlook the impact of porn:

"Porn is “a public health crisis,” blared a Washington Post article. “The science is now beyond dispute.” For example, “In a content analysis of best-selling and most-rented porn films, researchers found that 88 percent of analyzed scenes contained physical aggression.” Most of the victims were women. As a result, those who watched mainstream pornography “were more likely to say they would commit rape or sexual assault (if they knew they wouldn’t be caught).”

Today, the average age that a boy first encounters pornography is nine years old. By the time he is an adult, he has been consuming porn for more than a decade. How does that affect his relationships with real women? Time magazine reports, “Many of them are simply unable to experience a sexual response with a real live woman. They are only able to respond to pornography. In fact, they prefer pornography.”

When these men marry, they are shocked—shocked—to discover that porn has destroyed their ability to relate to their spouse. It has trained them to objectify the opposite sex. They literally don’t know how to relate to a woman as a full person.

The first longitudinal study on porn found that men who start watching porn after they marry are twice as likely to divorce. Other studies foundthat watching porn actually shrinks the brain and reduces neural activity. There is now firm data showing that porn is addictive, it leads to violence, it destroys relationships, it feeds sex trafficking and prostitution."

Three years in and two sons initiated into manhood, here's what I'm trying to do and why I believe it's time we introduced a new (old) custom for our boys: https://t.co/6b32vK60OE

The entire Book of Revelation is a giant chiasm. 🤯

A chiasm is a literary device where ideas unfold in order (A B C) and then repeat in reverse (C B A), forming an X shaped symmetry that aids memory and draws attention to the central point (C).

The Bible is amazing.

This is hands down the best visualization of time I’ve ever seen. 🤯⏳

It’s actually terrifying how small human history is compared to the reign of the dinosaurs. We really just got here.
