This image confronts us with two of the greatest scandals of Christianity.
The first scandal is that none of us are good enough for heaven.
Most people compare themselves to serial killers, dictators, rapists, and criminals and conclude, "At least I'm not that bad." But God does not compare us to Jeffrey Dahmer. He compares us to His own perfect holiness. Scripture says that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. The proud businessman, the moral neighbor, the avid atheist, the faithful churchgoer, and the murderer all stand guilty before a holy God apart from Christ.
The second scandal is that God saves anyone at all.
The real question is not, "How could God save someone like Dahmer if he truly repented and believed?" The real question is, "How could God save any of us?" Every person deserves judgment. Every person deserves separation from God. Salvation is never owed. It is never earned. It is pure grace from beginning to end.
That is what makes the gospel so offensive to human pride. It tells the worst sinner that he can be forgiven through Christ, and it tells the best-looking sinner that he cannot save himself.
The cross levels everyone. We are all condemned in Adam, and the only hope for any of us is Jesus Christ.
For 8 years, I prayed desperately for something that never happened.
To anyone going through a season of "unanswered" prayers, please hold on. God might have something even *better* for you that you simply cannot see right now 🙏
@TreyMorris@chipgaines@joannagaines@BaylorBaseball AI messing up the BU logo gives me serious nostalgia for all the Baylor gear that was available for purchase when I was a student. Can’t count the number of great hats and shirts I found that were ruined by a butchered interlocking BU 🤣
With Miami beating Ole Miss, the SEC finishes 1-8 against P4 teams in bowls, 0-3 in the playoff against other P4 teams and doesn’t get to the title game for 3 straight years
So look for ESPN & Greg Sankey to push for 9 SEC teams in the playoff next year

🚨 Ben Shapiro goes SCORCHED EARTH at TPUSA on “frauds”, “grifters”, and “charlatans” Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens
He blasts Megyn Kelly for her “cowardice” for refusing to stand up for the truth and condemn Candace’s conspiracy theories and lies
Watch every second of this
NEW: Candace Owens says it's "strange" & "unnecessary" that TPUSA invited her for an in-person debate just hours after she told them they could pick the "place" & "time."
TPUSA responded to Owens just a few hours after she accepted their offer on her show yesterday.
She now says that them following up on X and setting up the time and place for the debate is "strange" and is now talking about Egyptian planes again.
"It seems to be the Egyptian planes that they are unnecessarily freaking out about. So that's definitely going to be the key that unlocks everything."
Baylor RB Caden Knighten is being carted/stretchered off the field, and it does not look good at all. He hasn’t moved much, which could be precautionary. Absolutely gutting for him.
In about two hours, Dave Aranda will be 36-37 in six seasons at Baylor, including the 12-2 from 2021. Take that out, and he’s 24-35. This is not acceptable, and accepting it means embracing the irrelevance of Baylor football. Our fans, boosters, and players deserve better, @LindaLlivings.
QB1 baptizing former WR1. Folks at the end of the day no matter what else is going on, all of the Baylor family should be unified in celebrating Monaray publicly sharing his commitment to Christ!
I have 4 tickets to the @BUFootball -UH game next week that I will absolutely not be using. Ordinarily, I’d try to get the them in the hands of a BU fan that could use them. This time though, I CAN make it and just don’t want to, and would rather my seats stay empty #FireEveryone
@TreyMorris@T_REX1991 Still gonna be hard pressed to keep our recruits as it is though, right? Surely they can see the writing on the wall. If they are coming here for Dave, he probably won’t be here sophomore year.
I've been a season ticket holder since 2012. I've sat in the same seats since McLane opened in 2014, and added seats since then.
That may be it for me.
@DavidSmoak@365sportsYT@_GarrettRoss@PaulCatalina@CraigSmoak I’ll be cancelling my season tickets if he comes back. I first got them in 21 and they were the best purchase I ever made. Every year since has been absolutely painful, with this team specifically being terrible at home. I like Aranda, and I wish him well, but it’s time to move.
