Incredibly powerful explanation here explaining in everyday language what Jesus has done for us. It’s the summary of grace & justice in a brilliant explanation.

Thank you @JoshHowerton_
Praying for your ministry and those who would hear this!!

This is the verse that converted Jonathan Edwards.

“To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.” 1 Timothy 1:17

[Wes Huff @WesleyLHuff]

If I'm honest this has been a hard season for me lately. I've been struggling with trusting God's timing. I was reminded when reading Psalm 37 today that I am to be still before Yahweh and wait patiently. That Yahweh is good to those who wait for him and seek him, and it is good to wait quietly for God’s salvation (Lam. 3:25–26). This quiet waiting involves hoping in God’s word while the soul waits more intensely than watchmen awaiting morning (Psalm 130:5–6).

I was reminded that prior to preaching to thousands, for a season Peter went back to fishing after thinking he failed Jesus. That Paul sat in prison cells, Lazarus lay in a tomb, Jonah prayed in the belly of a fish, Hannah wept on the steps of the tabernacle, Joseph was locked in the captivity, and Moses stood in the fields of Median herding sheep. All before God made moves in his timing.

Times of waiting, while hard, remind us of the confidence we should have in God’s timing and character. When direction seems slow in coming, we're called to wait for it, assured it will come when the time is ready (Hab. 2:3). Yahweh himself waits to be gracious and show mercy, and those who wait for him are blessed, for he is a God of justice (Isa. 30:18). Rather than taking matters into their own hands, like I often am tempted to do, we are instructed not to repay evil but to wait for the Lord, who will deliver us (Prov 20:22).

Hoping for what is unseen involves waiting with patience (Romans 8:25), and through the Spirit and faith, believers eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness (Galatians 5:5). Waiting involves expectancy and hope regarding events and contingencies still in the future, it's the outworking of a spiritual posture directed at trusting God’s promises and timing rather than our own understanding.

Knowing all of this, writing here on X doesn't make my season of needing to wait any easier, but the consistent, inspired, inerrant testimony of scripture nonetheless gives me something solid to trust in. I am fickle, impatient, and finite. God is trustworthy, forbearing, and infinite. And his timing is right even if I don't know how or when things will happen.

This wasn’t on my bingo card: @CNN @FareedZakaria creating a lengthy campaign ad for @SteveHiltonx @TeamSteveHilton - outlining the series of catastrophic failures by @GavinNewsom @KarenBassLA & @TheDemocrats & making it clear that new leadership is needed to bring back responsible spending and a chance to restore what made California so Golden so so long.

Seeing some response to my statement on @MikhailaFuller's podcast about speaking in tongues. Some potentially helpful clarification:

First, I am not a cessationist (though I see myself being accused of it). I state in the interview that I believe that the spiritual sign gifts (tongues, prophesy, healing) still take place today, just not normatively like they were in the Apostolic era.

Nonetheless, I hold to the standard exegetical position that biblical tongues refer to known languages. In Acts 2, the foundational instance, foreign speakers understood the disciples in their own native languages, establishing the clearest precedent for interpreting the phenomenon throughout Scripture.

Secondly, while bliblical specialists and theologians debate whether tongues encompass human languages alone or include angelic speech, the consensus recognizes that a tongue functions as a language -- either immediately intelligible to hearers or requiring interpretation. The requirement that Paul places on interpretation in 1 Corinthians 14 indicates that tongues contain objective, propositional meaning subject to translation, and his statement that “every valid instance of tongues contains intrinsic, propositional meaning" reinforces this understanding.

A prominent scholarly argument identifies glossolalia as “the miraculous ability to speak unlearned human and (possibly) divine or angelic languages,” with the most common usage of “tongues” referring to ordinary human languages. The term γλῶσσα throughout the NT carries two primary meanings: the human organ or a human language, and careful word studies demonstrate that it never denotes non-cognitive utterance.

However, scholarly consensus isn’t absolute the core agreement across interpretations centers on cognitive content: tongues communicate meaningful, intelligible information rather than incoherent utterance.

Third, the early church evidence after the Apostolic era is virtually unanimous: the Early Church Fathers consistently interpreted the gift of tongues as the capacity to speak the many languages used across the earth. Their writings indicate the gift served an evangelistic purpose enabling communication with non-Christian populations.

The Patristics universally understood “tongues” in Acts and 1 Corinthians to refer to human languages, and ancient Christians understood the biblical gift of tongues as a miracle involving intelligible human languages. When the fathers described the phenomenon, they used concrete language: John Chrysostom wrote that believers “would suddenly speak in Persian, another in Latin, another in the language of the Indians or of some other people” (Homilies on First Corinthians, Homily 35), and Augustine stated that disciples “spoke in the languages of all the nations” (Sermon 269, Sermo CCLXIX.

The most significant, and almost exclusive, early figure associated with ecstatic speech for tongues was Montanus, a 2nd-century prophet whose followers emphasized speaking in tongues; he was actually excommunicated (not necessarily for his position on tongues) around AD 177. By the late 2nd century, ecstatic interpretations of tongues were present but only in context of ecclesiastical concern.

One interesting nuance appears with Philastrius in the 4th century, who understood angels as capable of conversing in all languages and believed the apostles received this same ability at Pentecost. However, this doesn’t represent a departure from the “knowable language” framework rather, the Early Church Fathers understood the gift of tongues as the ability to speak all languages spoken by people. The Church Fathers agreed the gift was the ability to speak all languages known to humankind, an ability they ascribed to angels, suggesting the “languages of angels” would not refer to a distinct heavenly language but rather to the capacity to communicate with anyone encountered.

The historical record shows no discussion among the fathers of ecstatic utterances, unknown languages, or supernatural unintelligible speech. The gift remained firmly anchored to practical, learnable human languages throughout Patristic interpretation.

So if you've stuck around this long, I think my position is both exegetically and historically sound.

I’ve learned that the most important survival skill isn’t making fire. It’s managing fear. When things go wrong, the person who panics is the first one to go down. Stay calm. Breathe. Think.

Erika Kirk goes absolutely SCORCHED EARTH against evil people monetizing Charlie Kirk's death and attacking her family and the families of those close to Charlie and TPUSA.

The Fox News Anchor audibly gasps LIVE:

"Here's my breaking point. Come after me, call me names, I don't care. Call me what you want, go down that rabbit hole, whatever. But when you go after my family, my Turning Point USA family, my Charlie Kirk Show family, when you go after the people that I love and you're making hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode going after the people that I love because somehow they're in on this, no!"

"Can my children have one thing? Everything was public. Can my babies have one thing where we hold it sacred, where my husband is laid to rest, where I don't have to be worried about some secular revolutionary coming and destroying my husband's grave while my daughter is sitting there praying?"

"I do not have time to address the noise. My silence does not mean that I am complacent."

"This is righteous anger because this is not okay. It's not healthy. This is a mind virus. Just know that your words are very powerful, and we are human. My team are not machines and they're not robots. They are human. We have more death threats on our team and our side than I have ever seen. I have kidnapping threats. My poor team is exhausted, and every time they bring this back up, what are we supposed to do? Relive that trauma all over again? They watched my husband get murdered."

Thank God we are finally here.
The Demons are Screaming.

Thank you. You said it beautifully!! The song is beautiful. Sad to see the social media peanut gallery comments from certain leaders who haven’t seen the full context & can’t see there can be a variety of God honoring music styles. Same people who thought drums in Church were bad

[Alisa Childers @alisa_childers]

So, I didn’t have defending Skillet to Christian X on my bingo card for today. But here we are. I would recommend that before you criticize this rendition, listen to the whole song. It begins reverently and melodically beautiful. This honors the original beauty of the song that expresses a tension and longing for the coming Messiah. Then, Skillet goes hard. This represents a longing that still exists and is intensified …now for the return of Christ in a world that has lost its ever loving mind. It’s the same tension. The same longing. The intensity is appropriate. In fact, it’s fantastic. (And as a singer, I appreciate the otherworldly vocals of Jen Ledger that take it over the top.)

Arnold Schwarzenegger drops a nuclear bomb on Democrats’ gerrymandering push to “save democracy.”

The irony was not lost on the Governator, who asked a devastating question to Democrats:

"I think that Prop 50 is a BIG SCAM. And the reason why I’m saying that is because it says that we should ‘fight Trump’ because he’s a ‘threat to democracy.’ But in the meantime, they want to go and tear up the Constitution in California, get rid of the independent commission that draws the district lines, and take the power away from the people and give it back to the politicians.

“So how does this go helping democracy, or fighting Trump, and imitating what Texas is doing? I mean, it doesn’t make any sense to me, the whole thing.”

[Milad Girgis @mtgirgis]

@MikeWingerii Mike, you should do a “Think Biblically” series on this. I’m about to dig in myself for myself and young adults we lead.

[Kevin Kiley @KevinKileyCA]

The vote on Prop. 50 is very simple:

Yes = Gerrymander
No = Don't Gerrymander

Please vote NO, return your ballot, and give Newsom the humiliating defeat he richly deserves.

[Erika Kirk @MrsErikaKirk]

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.”

The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.

Lamentations 3:22-26

@TaraBull808 Yes!!!

[Milad Girgis @mtgirgis]

@MikeWingerii Yes! it’s been happening in Africa, Middle East & Asia for decades sadly. Horribly. The American church has been more obssesssd with prosperity, personal breakthrough & comfort while being blind to global persecution. Yes it needs more exposure. Not out of sight out of mind. 🙏🏼

[Milad Girgis @mtgirgis]

@DavidJHarrisJr Interesting looking at some of the comments. The Biblical view & Jesus point was to call out politicians to righteousness & Godliness while not looking to sit in political power. That’s the difference. Right vs wrong. Godly spiritual power through changed hearts vs power systems

California's $2.2 billion solar farm in the Mojave Desert is shutting down after requiring natural gas to operate.

It turns out that even in one of America's sunniest places, solar needed fossil fuels as backup.

That's why it's called the Green New Scam.
