Man, this is beautiful. A life adorning the gospel.

Listen to what @StevenBartlett—host of one of the world’s most popular podcasts—says to Christian apologist John Lennox.

Eliminating punishment because the punishment will cause the offender 'irreparable injury' would be a wild argument if applied in a criminal court.

"My client shouldn't go to jail for murder because jail would make him too sad." 🤦‍♂️

[Pete Nakos @PeteNakos]

Per court: "This court finds that applicant has demonstrated that he will suffer a probable, imminent, and irreparable injury if this court does not issue this temporary injunction because he will be unable to participate as a member of Texas Tech University's 2026 football team."

Thanks @SpaceCityHN for creating a value dilemma:

— Either pay $100/month to watch the @astros via fubo or cable/dish…
— OR pay $20/month for the SCHN app & get the worst sports viewing experience since the VCR.

I’ll just watch YouTube recap videos after the game instead. 🤦‍♂️

Great articulation of gospel motivation, straight from Moses:
-Israel's care for the stranger in their land was motivated by gratitude to God for rescuing them from captivity.
-Our care for the stranger in our land is motivated by gratitude to God for rescuing us from captivity.

[John Piper @JohnPiper]

“You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.” Leviticus 19:34

Christians know the miserable bondage we were all in.

@WSJ You forgot about all that high-dollar Ramen they're choosing over home ownership!

15 things to do with your father while he is still alive. I lost mine 8 years ago.

1. Ask him what he was like at your age because once he was the same age you are right now & Watch his face light up as he tells you stories from when he was younger

2. Record his laugh when he tells one of his signature jokes. Someday you will replay the video over and over just to hear it again

3. Ask him about the proudest moment of his life. (Odds are he will say when you were born)

4. Ask him his favourite songs
Listen to them together, laugh, sing and be happy. These will become your most cherished memories in years to come

5. Take a picture of him doing something he loves. Watching tv, gardening, playing the guitar, anything. When you look back these will be the pictures that will make you smile the most

6. Tell him you love him even if it's something you don't normally do.

7. Tell him you are proud to be his son/daughter This will mean more to him than you realise (even if he doesn't show it)

8. Listen to music from his youth and watch him turn from dad into a young man again

9. Take a short video of him talking about something random sacred Someday even the ordinary things he said become

10. Bring up something you are thankful for from years ago

11. Ask him what it was like for him growing up

12. Call him for no reason
Don't take being able to do this for granted.
Someday you would give anything to hear his voice again.

13. Take a picture of just the 2 of you together

14. Ask him to show you an old photo of him because seeing him young will remind you that he wasn't always Dad

15. Tell him something you are struggling with, no matter what age you are Because even when your grown it means the world to him to feel like he can still help

Let him give you advice, even if you don't need it because one day you will give anything to hear his voice guiding you again

[Kevin Bowles @kevinbowles]

@MattMoscona At least make the punishment even. It should be like a hockey penalty. 10 minutes? 1 or 2 quarters at most!

As it is, if you get penalized in the 1st or 3rd quarter, you literally miss almost a full game. Whereas, late in 2nd or 4th quarters makes it only a 2 quarter penalty.

[Denny Burk @DennyBurk]

I encourage everyone to listen to this message. Piper’s point is that Christians must not be more devoted to nation/ethnicity than to Christ.

This shouldn’t be controversial at all among Christians. It is a biblical statement of ordered loves, at the top of which must always be Christ and his kingdom (Matt. 6:33).

When these loves are in order, it fuels global missions. When these loves are out of order it kills missions and authentic Christianity.

The faux-outrage over Lane Kiffin leaving Ole Miss for a better football program is silly. Are we saying from now on, if you want one of the best jobs in America, you can't make the playoff w/ your current team?

This isn't on Kiffin or Ole Miss. It's an NCAA timeline problem.

[Kevin Bowles @kevinbowles]

A poetic story in 3 parts:

1. Astros stymie Mariners for years.
2. Mariner fans taunt Springer when he’s hit by a pitch & injured.
3. Springer dashes their World Series hopes in Game 7.

I love this video so much. Altuve may be the most selfless superstar athlete I've ever watched.

[Bonda @BenOndaTop]

If you love Jose Altuve, watch this. (Created By: Me)

[Kevin Bowles @kevinbowles]

@BenOndaTop Why is this one of the best videos I've ever seen???

1st thing to improve your prayer- learn to pray the Psalms. 2nd thing to improve your prayer- after Bible study and before prayer do biblical meditation. See Luther's A simple way to pray.

@MLB @espn The whole infield needs to sit the rest of the game. 🤣

Alex Bregman in a Red Sox uniform. He joins Correa, Springer and more who left Houston looking for something else. Meanwhile future Hall of Famer Jose Altuve has volunteered to move to left field... for the only team he's ever known. #Astros legend. #Htown icon.

[Ryan Burge 📊 @ryanburge]

For some reason, I have been thinking about this moment a lot today.

It's from John McCain in 2008 at a town hall.

The woman begins to espouse conspiracy theories about Barack Obama's nationality.

He immediately shuts it down.

"No ma'am. He's a decent family man."

@Bezner @HeatherNelson7 In other news, I'll be humming "Be The One" all day. Thanks for holding on to those lyrics for 35 years, brain.
