Joe’s being outside of the Top 10 is hilarious.

Anything under 3rd is incorrect.

“And what about our sins? Slavery was the original sin, and I won’t sand it down. The founders knew it. Jefferson knew it, and he owned slaves — the hypocrisy was staring right at them, and they kept kicking the can down the road. But here is what a poisoned telling of our history leaves out: the New England colonies began rejecting slavery before England itself did. And when the reckoning finally came, hundreds of thousands of men died on battlefields to make other men free. “As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,” read the original lyrics of the Battle Hymn of the Republic. That’s propitiation. One man suffers so others go free. A nation that will bleed that much to right its own wrong is not an evil nation. It is a great one, straining toward becoming a more perfect one. We had a black president. We had a black vice president. Our Secretary of State is the son of Cuban refugees. Anyone telling you the story that nothing here ever gets better is selling you something.”

I love this from @kiteandkeymedia! Showing it to the kids today. The drama, the hardships, the compromises, the injustices, the epic clashes over them, the miracle that is the formation of America in under 10 mins.

👀 I have spent 20 years testing what actually moves the needle on human performance.

Here are the five highest-return daily habits I have found.

1️⃣ Morning sunlight within 30 minutes of waking
2️⃣ Protein at breakfast
3️⃣ Walk after every meal for 10 minutes
4️⃣ In bed by 10 PM with the room at 67 degrees
5️⃣ No phone for the first and last hour of the day

✅ None of these cost money. All of them work.

Start with one. Master it. Then add the next.

When reading the New Testament, we occasionally encounter an ocean of theology compressed into a few rich drops of text. A cluster of verses says more in a few words than most of us can say in entire books.

A prime example is found in Titus 2, one of the chapters we read today in Bible in One Year.

Paul writes, “For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works” (2:11-14).

Chisel these words onto the tablets of your heart.

What was the ministry of Jesus? The appearance of God’s grace (not his wrath). Jesus is divine grace made manifest. The result? Salvation for all people. “In Christ, God was reconciling the world to himself” (2 Cor. 5:19).

The deed is done for all. And all who believe it, receive it.

What fruit does this grace bear in our lives? We are trained thereby to renounce ungodly lives because Jesus has redeemed us from lawlessness to be, as his people, zealous for good works.

We are not saved by our good works, but, having been saved, do good works as we lead self-controlled, upright, godly lives.

Whom do we await? Our great God and Savior Jesus Christ. In faith and love, we wait for the appearance of the one who is our Savior, our God, our Hope, Jesus the Messiah.

In four verses, Paul summarizes the ministry of Jesus, salvation, the Christian life, and the end times.

Drink deeply of these words. Here is Christianity. Here is the faith we confess.

The term "theological liberalism" is thrown around a lot.
When push comes to shove though, it still boils down to Richard Niebuhr's summation of what theological liberalism truly is: "A God without wrath brought men without sin into a kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a cross" (Kingdom of God in America, 193).

Liberal/progressive Christianity is more than that but it is no less than that, and it will always come down to it. Niebuhr's words 89 years ago are just as applicable in 1937 as they are today.

@rabbriansamuel Ex pastor here, sounds like you were both kind and firm, treated him better than most would have

[Camus @newstart_2024]

Scott Galloway's blunt advice on finding a great partner cuts straight through the noise.

He says the single most important decision in your 20s and 30s isn’t your career or your city—it’s who you choose to build a life (and kids) with.

His method? Flood the zone with opportunity. Accept every invite. Talk to strangers in line at Starbucks. Get comfortable with rejection—because rejection is the only guarantee in life, and success (romantic or professional) demands you eat a ton of it.

He tells the story of meeting his wife at a hotel pool in broad daylight, no alcohol, while she was sitting with other people. He promised himself he’d speak to her before leaving. That decision led to a marriage and kids—his oldest son’s middle name is Raleigh.

Nothing wonderful happens without uncomfortable risk. Maximize your at-bats.

What’s the one uncomfortable risk you took (or wish you had taken) in pursuit of real connection?

@AJWTheology I think we all know that theologically, or I should hope, but for the Charismatic, how can one experience that on some measure in the here and now? How on a practical sense, can we taste the powers that are breaking in upon us?

[Luke Geraty @lukegeraty]

Dehumanizing people is not only rude, it’s evil. It’s what people have done throughout history as a way to get others to no longer view those people as created in the image of God and it makes it easier to treat them as such.

It’s wrong. And bad. And not Christian. Ever.
