The women’s final four might be more compelling at this point than the men’s…

James 1:24 is alarming to Protestants:

You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.

It actually does matter how you live. This is the reason Luther wanted James thrown out of the canon.

To orient one’s life toward the poor is to orient one’s life toward God.

One of the things I have learned in this special election in Ohio is that we only call them “special interest groups” if the group is pushing for an agenda different than one’s own. When the commercial decrying “special interest groups” tells you that it’s paid for by a group…

On Pentecost, Peter reminds us that the evidence of God’s spirit being poured out is that women will prophesy just like men. That means women will speak on behalf of God to men, over men, and instead of men. This is why Baptists/Fundamentalists don’t celebrate Pentecost.

The clique of Hollywood might encourage social stratification and poverty more than, or at least as much as, any other association.

Manipulated poor people sit in our homes paying money to watch others portray lives of excess and adventure.

Jason Hayward in an @Dodgers uniform just robbed Cody Bellinger in a @Cubs uniform of a hit in the outfield at Wrigley. I’m so confused.

PRAY for our brothers/sisters in Syria, who are gathering at local Naz churches + have sustained damage to their homes - for food to be accessible - for those dealing with the impact of the quake - for those searching for loved ones, for those who are helping with the response.

I can’t imagine yelling at someone while they are making a formal, public presentation about reforming our national drug problem, even if I disagreed with the approach. This is unbelievable.

The only people that would tell you to “trust the system” or “trust the process” are those for whom the system or process has been beneficial. Be critical of the system and change the process.

Reflecting on the story of Adam and Eve this morning, hiding from God while trying to cover ourselves in our nakedness seems to be the perpetual plight of humanity.

@davenewworld_2 The person who video taped this doing nothing is a monster

@markwillworship What about Jesus’ own religion, Judaism. Can that be true? He said himself “I have not come to abolish the law (Judaism) but to fulfill it.”

@Haqqaton_TSD Is that not the system we already have? I thought the NCAA was taking notes from us. Staff members going random places with their favorite head coach… I mean pastor

If you choose to love what you have you will always have what you love.

@newvangelicals There really have been masses of conservatives moving to Florida since 2018

It is dangerous that we’ve raised a generation of artists who ask the question first “what will sell?” rather than “what is true?”
