I do not share much of my personal life on social media but today is gonna be different. If you are the praying type please lift up my wife Lindsey. She has brain cancer and surgery is Wednesday at Duke. So thankful to serve a loving God that meets us in our struggles!

His outing was much better than his stat line. Great job!

This can’t be real, right?

This is terrifying.

The @usmnt will not make noise at the 2026 World Cup without 2 new CB and a new GK.

[Aaron Martin @johnaaronmartin]

Hey @USMNT decision makers,

Can we permanently leave Berhalter in the locker room at halftime and also relieve him of his duties?

Bringing him back was a huge mistake. Getting embarrassed by a solid Colombia team only 20 min in. He will never get the best out of this team.

[Aaron Martin @johnaaronmartin]

The @USMNT @sergino_dest totally deserved to be sent off. Shocking how selfish his behavior was.

But with that said, the Guatemalan center referee has been stunningly bad.

The Only Victorious Christian Life Is in Defeat

I’ve got a message for those who think they’ve outperformed others in good works, they’ve spiritually prospered, they’ve moved beyond the cross of Jesus, they sin less and less as they climb the ladder of virtue to heaven.

The message? You are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.

If we say we have no sin, or less sin than others, or that our sins are less damnable than others, then we are deceiving ourselves and calling God a liar.

Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand! No matter where you think you stand on the ladder of virtue, we’re all lying face-first in the bloody dirt at the foot of the cross. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God.

Trash your homemade halos.

Jesus, Jesus, see us here. And have mercy. Look down from your cross of love not with a dark, condemning face, but with eyes leaking tears of grace. Forgive us for not seeing our need of forgiveness. Heal us for turning a blind eye to our wounds. And lift us up onto that cross to die with you—that in your death, we may learn what life truly is.

To die with Jesus, to bleed in his wounds, to exhale in his breath, to be absorbed into his body, is finally and fully to find the only true victorious Christian life.

It is in defeat. Defeat to our one-upmanship. Defeat to our self-deceptions of virtue superiority. Defeat to our pharisaical hearts. And victory in Jesus.

Victory in union with the God who kicked the teeth of death on that bright resurrection dawn. Victory in joining fellow believers to exult—not in our morality—but in Christ’s triumphant grace.

[The Gospel Coalition @TGC]

If you're falling off a cliff, strong faith in a weak branch is fatally inferior to weak faith in a strong branch. Salvation is not finally based on the strength of your faith, but on the object of your faith.

@RedditCFB TD. Terrible overrule by the replay official.

[John Starke @john_starke]

A long time ago, I read Henri Nouwen say somewhere: “It takes a lot of humiliation for just a little bit of humility.”

Since then, I think I’ve come to the conclusion that “being embarrassed” is part of spiritual formation. It’s just not the exciting part.

South Carolina single handedly wrecked the college football playoff; well done Shane Beamer and Co

[Aaron Martin @johnaaronmartin]

@USMNT @Visa No Reyna or Aaronson. Instead we get Wright and a not quite fit McKennie, who was brutal against Wales?

Good grief, Berhalter. Working hard to justify the Pepi snub. Give me De La Torre, Reyna or Aaronson over McKennie

@ESPNFC F

[Aaron Martin @johnaaronmartin]

My mind is still blown that one of the 3 best players on the @USMNT roster didn’t even see the pitch in our first World Cup game. No disrespect but under no circumstances should Jordan Morris ever play before a healthy @GioReyna_CAM

[Aaron Martin @johnaaronmartin]

Brilliant first half by @USMNT. Very poor 2nd half and wasted an opportunity to get 3 points. Berhalter’s tactical decisions were not good. Where was @GioReyna_CAM? How do you leave one of your best players on the bench?
