If you love Jesus you should love what Jesus loves, and that ultimately means you should be an official, active, and serving member of your local church (Eph. 5:25).
Church membership should be normal for Christians. Lives lived in regular accountability demonstrate the gospel’s reality to the world, particularly through the mutual love that Jesus identified as the mark of his followers. This is both biblical and strengthens evangelistic witness. Weaker and newer Christians gain feeding and accountability through membership, and mature and seasoned believers demonstrate authentic Christian living.
Hebrews calls believers to “consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works,” explicitly warning against forsaking assembly “as the manner of some is” (Heb. 10:24–25). This suggests participation isn’t optional but essential to spiritual health.
Church membership preserves biblical truth by establishing who bears responsibility for rooting out false teaching and protecting the gospel when leadership itself becomes compromised. Paul’s letter to the Galatians exemplifies this. I say this as a positional elder in my church — Paul appealed to the whole congregation rather than leadership alone to address doctrinal corruption. Think about it: how are you to “bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ” (Gal 6:2), which positions mutual care as a central Christian obligation, if you’re not actively in a membership role? Thessalonians similarly exhorts believers to “encourage one another and build one another up” (1 Thess 5:11), framing encouragement as a reciprocal responsibility that requires presence and investment.
Healthy membership equips believers to recognize heresy when taught or communicated and transforms them from passive consumers into active defenders of the faith.
Acts depicts the early church persevering in apostolic teaching, communion, and gathering daily, with believers holding possessions in common (Acts 2:42–47), a portrait of intensive communal engagement rather than individual isolated devotion or nominal affiliation.
Ultimately, practicing membership glorifies God as Christians gather to form his body, living under the life giving words of scripture, fellowshipping with one another sacrificially, and reflecting his character.
Please list the fed sloppers who have reported the following before the preliminary hearing started:
1. 89-95% of the DNA on the screwdriver and towel came from Lance Twiggs.
2. The woman who provided the Ring footage of Tyler Robinson's car reported it was driven by a bald man with three passengers.
3. The limping man switched the legs that limped and bent the limping leg with ease every so often.
4. The man alleged to be Tyler Robinson arrived on campus at 830am, walked to the quad, and met with representatives from TPUSA.
5. The officer who responded to the Losee Center had his bodyworn camera stop working when he arrived at the roof.
6. The officer who responded to the Losee Center roof was accompanied by an unidentified man with a gun and badge from an unidentified agency.
7. Officers have no identifying information for the person on the Losee Center roof, including an inability to identify his height, face, or clothing.
8. Officers can only state the guy on the Losee Center roof was carrying a long item and cannot state that it is a gun.
Anyone?
Perhaps more importantly, do any of the fed sloppers see a problem with any of this?
🚨#BREAKING: A German soccer fan who flew to the USA but was fearful about coming because of news about criminals and people being mean...
...breaks down into TEARS, live on air saying he has FALLEN IN LOVE with America after a random man named "Bob" in Boston gave him a ride home after he was stuck at a game with no way back to his hotel
The German soccer fan's name is Sebastian, he said after meeting Bob, he extended his entire trip.
He said leaving America will hurt worse than watching Germany get knocked out of the World Cup.
"I fall in love with America. I'm sorry, it's just so emotional. Americans are not rude... if we are together, we can achieve great things."
THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
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, a condition caused by high levels 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 horribly 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 are 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 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 tendons 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 heart rate causes fluid to gather in the sack around the lungs & heart. The accumulation of fluid in the membrane around the heart is called a Pericardial effusion & the lungs is called a 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 that He went through this spiritual and physical punishment for your sins and mine.
Jesus is the LORD, Almighty God, Everlasting Father.
Thank You, Jesus.
Understand this: The movies and shows about the crucifixion have been tame when compared to what He actually went through.
Even The Passion Of The Christ was forced to hold back a little in order to avoid an X rating.
Crucifixion was, and still is, arguably the most excruciating death someone can experience.
The night before in Gethsemane, He was sweating blood. This is known as hematidrosis. This would have caused His skin to become extremely sensitive, thus making the beatings to come even worse.
The fear He felt was the beginning of His feeling the weight of our iniquities being laid on Him.
Yet - in this moment, He didn’t demand that the Father take it from Him. He only asked for the cup to pass Him over if it was within the Father’s will.
Up next came the Cat of Nine Tails, or a Roman Flagrum. This was a weapon with long leather “tails”, each embedded with sharp bones and metal.
He was flogged 39 times as Jewish law mandated “40 minus one”, because 40 was said to kill a man.
This flogging wasn’t like being punished by your father’s leather belt.
Every strike tore flesh, every strike exposed muscle. Every strike exposed nerve endings. Every strike tore flesh to the bone.
This would be like getting struck with razor blades over and over again, leading to hypovolemic shock from blood loss.
Oh, and the crown of thorns? These weren’t rose thorns. These were thorns which were 2-3 inches long. Beaten into his skull.
These thorns would have pierced his skull, tripping the trigeminal nerve, thus causing unimaginable pain and even more blood loss from the dozens of head wounds.
At this point, extreme nausea and dizziness would begin to set in.
What came next? Carrying the cross. Which weighed around 300lbs. This would be like carrying two full kegs on your back.
Splinters and wood grating against the open flesh on His back. And He had to carry it 650 yards, or close to a half mile.
Imagine carrying a log on your back after being skinned alive.
Up next? He was nailed to the cross with spikes 5-7in in length. Piercing His wrists - this no doubt pierced the median nerve, causing extreme burning sensations up and down His arms.
A spike was driven through his ankles - severing nerves and tendons. This would have felt like standing on broken glass every time He pushed Himself up in order to breathe.
He suffered for 6 hours.
His chest muscles collapsing, making every single breath a fight for life.
His shoulders were dislocated, His arms stretching unnaturally long.
His heart was struggling to pump blood.
He was extremely dehydrated, His lips cracking.
His heart more than likely literally ruptured from the stress.
And on top of all of that, He had to feel a separation with the Father for a period of time in order to REALLY bear the weight of our sin.
He took up this burden for ALL sin before Him, and ALL sin which came after Him.
HE DID IT ALL FOR US.
To free us. To defeat sin. To give us a pathway to the Kingdom.
Every sin we commit is exactly why He had to do it.
And the real kicker? He knew what was coming when He rode into Jerusalem … and He didn’t turn around. He kept going.
For us.

This video will never get old.
The gospel of Jesus Christ explained in 1 minute.
You need to share this with everyone and save for later.
Check out the quoted video too it’s powerful 🔥
I'm just about to hop on a plane and head to Washington, D.C., to lead a VIP tour of the Dead Sea Scroll exhibit at the @museumofBible. My colleagues along with the museum's Chief Curatorial officer, Dr. Bobby Duke, will then give a series of lectures related to the Bible, its manuscripts, texts, and canon history. We're also showcasing the museum's new Dead Sea Scrolls documentary along with the world premiere of episode 3 of "Can I Trust the Bible?" series.
This past season, I have been incredibly privileged to publicly express my personal convictions regarding my faith and study. I never imagined nor sought out the public platforms that I've been able to be part of. That attention has been humbling but also quite overwhelming. Despite being continually labelled "the expert," I am far from it! I have the privilege to work with genuine experts, individuals whose knowledge and craft surpass mine by country miles. I am merely a life-long student gleaning from others and excitedly telling those I have the occasion to share with. Don't let the podcast titles like "number 1 Christian expert" fool you, I'm pretty low on the food chain compared to those who have the privilege to study formally. I'm not claiming to be the voice of "mainstream critical scholarship," the consensus of my field, or any other grandiose title; merely the voice of myself.
I would appreciate your prayers for the coming months. Though I've posted here and there I've been somewhat off the grid lately due to personal and academic commitments that required focused, solitary devotion. I am convinced that so many things have come together solely due to God's timing and provision. Nonetheless, I have daunting academic and personal commitments approaching that require significant concentration and the removal of distractions.
The emotional whiplash of so many people reaching out and expressing thanks combined with the scrutiny the limelight brings has not always been easy. But I am thankful to God for His provision and strength.
“My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore,Therefore I will boast all the more in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me." - Corinthians 12:9-10
@Shibu_Thobs@thatotsetsewa Be careful with anyone that has apostle before their name or anyone with a channel that has a hotline or website to give before or after.
1 Thessalonians 5:21
@HonestYPTweets Literally just sent the same sentiment to my guys.
God has been building him for years to be ready for this. He is such a gift to our lifetime right now. What a time��
Bible sales in the United States just hit a 21 year high... So why are more people turning back to religion?
To help answer that question, today I’m joined by Christian apologist Wesley Huff.
Wesley is a historian who studies the historical reliability of the Bible and the evidence surrounding the life of Jesus.
Much of his work focuses on ancient manuscripts and the historical case for Christianity. He spends his time debating sceptics and asking a simple question - what does the historical record actually say?
I wanted to speak to Wesley because these are questions I’ve personally wrestled with for years.
I grew up in a Christian household. When I was about eighteen, I was pulled into the new atheist movement after reading people like Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris. Since then, I’ve found myself in a different place. Curious and still asking a lot of questions.
