Friendly PSA: @HomeDepot will happily lock in the wrong delivery address on your appliance order with zero flexibility to change it, and if you dare cancel and reorder to fix it, they'll refuse to honor the original price. Great system, guys.

The reaction to Scott Adams’ death shows how easily evangelicalism slips into works righteousness. People dissect his sincerity and repentance, as if salvation depends on an inner test. That judgment isn’t ours. We commend him to God’s mercy and trust that God changes hearts.

@WmWeedon James wasn't there. John was.

@HansFiene Why is the LCMS so inconsistent about Elders, Deacons, and Deaconesses? Every church seems to define them differently, with different responsibilities—or not have them at all. What a mess.

@Tony_BATtista @tastyliveshow This will haunt my nightmares for months.

@JoshStein_ "Vulnerable children." Can't get more vulnerable than being unborn in the womb. What about those children, governor?

@JoshStein_ Could you start with a tax cut? This working Dad of 4 is squeezed every time April rolls around.

I'm so done with Apple AirPods. What a garbage product. Second set in a year with failed mics. You just look at them wrong and they break. Ridiculous.

@IDme why are homeschool parents excluded from educator verification? Most states don’t offer certification, but we still teach full time. Your policy is unfair and needs to change. #homeschool #educationequality

Today’s Cherry Bomb has to be a strong contender for Tom Sosnoff’s most gloriously pointless edition yet.

@cenkuygur That’s only going to work if Democrats return to their policy of “safe, legal, and rare” instead of “shout your abortion” and “veto infant born alive protection acts.”

All, a lineman I've known for years, and have worked with, a father of 3, made contact Monday night while working a storm related outage in Columbia, MO. Please donate if you can. The lineman on the pole with him was able to 1/4

@thegenesisbl0ck What happens when the girl gets too comfortable staying at home with all her expenses covered and ends up doing nothing with her life?

Funny how vaccine deaths or injuries require proof beyond mere correlation, whereas 'rona deaths were attributed based on nothing more than correlation.

[Matt ✝️🇺🇸 @matticatious]

@here_shitter @DOGE__news The claim was we’d be dead.

[Matt ✝️🇺🇸 @matticatious]

@_oRyca_ @DOGE__news Who is telling you “millions rely on vaccines to stay safe?” Oh, right, the same scientists who have been lying to us for years.

@BlMarketParade But there *was* overnight staff and there *were* overnight alerts. Check your facts. https://t.co/l03HsfJf86

@dpinsen Apparently “spend time with the grandkids and pour into the next generation” got cut from the retirement plan—replaced by overpriced condos and slow decay in style. You do you I guess.

We all love babies and believe that God wants to welcome any of them who die into His arms.

The problem for Baptists/Evangelicals is that they've cut children off from the means that delivers them into the arms of God. So they have to deny that children need to be delivered into those arms in the first place.

But you simply cannot, in any honest way, square this with Romans 5. Adam's sin didn't simply give children a nature that is tilted in the general direction of sin. He didn't pass down a car with a wobbly wheel that will eventually fall off when they're around 7 or 8. What he gave them is condemnation. And what Christ gives them is justification.

Luther has the best take on this. Bring your children to the font. Don't delay. But we pray for unbaptized children and ask that God will receive them into His arms should they die before they can be baptized. And we trust that our God, who is merciful and loving, will do precisely that. We trust that He will answer our prayers and grant eternal life to those little ones.

Everything falls apart when you deny baptismal regeneration. Everything comes together when you affirm it and rejoice in it.
