@reachjulieroys @johnmacarthur This is like saying big phara made up high blood pressure! It’s very harmful and totally against the findings of medical science. “Someone who has PTSD or C-PTSD often has excessive activity in their amygdala, which can be picked up on brain scans.” It’s real!!!

@LauraRbnsn Dr. Laura, I’ve been deconstructing several ideas taught to me as ‘biblical’ including the one you outlined here. Could you recommend a book (lay audience or academic) that you consider to powerfully defend this claim. I’ve already read “Stricken by God?” & found that was helpful

Insightful article about how quickly illiberal, anti-democratic ideas can ruin a country. South Africa purged one evil with a greater evil and the consequences were huge for regular citizens and the nation. People are still suffering today as a result!!!🤮 https://t.co/JnvO5Nu603

Blue Zone’s have a human-needs-first lifestyle where human beings are prioritized. That means eating whole foods, having rich social lives, getting regular movement, and working with a purpose rather than for the sake of maximizing productivity. Not USA! https://t.co/Z2cmQsRCn7

@revtatum Seems like the increased funding was inappropriately allocated. If this is true, there’s no reason to think that more funding wouldn’t simply suffer the same fate. How have increases in funding affected educational outcomes (test scores) over time? Maybe some has a graph of this?

“salvation is more importantly about what we are saved to (renewed access to the presence of God and relationship with him) than what we are saved from.“

@JosiahHawthorne Most healthy parental models and interventions are about long term growth. Acute problems aren’t really fixed, which sucks in that moment, but it’s about the long game. One can layout a choice for them about a consequence for coming out again, but without threats/bribes 🤷‍♂️🙏🏻.

@carrieehowell I was worried for her when I saw the sparkling outfit he showed up to the game wearing from the team bus. 😳

@PrestonSprinkle For anyone interested in Orthodox, thoughtful sources see Michael J. Gorman, Scot McKnight commentaries on Revelation, or if you prefer podcasts, check out Bible Project series on the Dragon. Fascinating stuff.

Repentance is not seen in tears; it is not seen in words; it is not seen in emotion. Repentance is long, slow, consistent change over an extended period of time because it is from the heart outward. Heart change is supernatural work.

Trafficking in racist humor is deeply sinful and shouldn’t be named among Christians. It’s not innocent fun. It celebrates dehumanizing tropes meant to keep marginalized people “in their place.”

[Diane Langberg, PhD @DianeLangberg]

The most effective lies are those that contain some truth in them. People inoculate themselves with a good thought so they can justify the wrongdoing they are about to choose—a common mechanism among fallen human beings.
