@oriontsx@BaT_MaN_23 Jesus is not a fake god. He is a historical figure with strong contemporary attestation, claimed divinity through resurrection accounts that launched the world's largest religion, and stands apart from the purely mythological figures in that image.
Baltimore Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh delivered a masterful response to a nasty reporter when asked why he met with Trump:
“Why do you frame that question [like that]? … It was amazing—it was awesome. And I promise you, I root for our President. I want our President to be successful just like I want my quarterback to be successful… My mom and President Trump — seeing how he treated her, it was really meaningful.”
I think what makes this story more depressing & alarming than him being an “American Idol alum” is that Caleb Flynn was a worship pastor.
And despite having a wife & two children, something many men long for, Flynn decided he wanted more than what God gave him.
He started having an affair with a woman at his church. Text messages show that they became obsessed with each other, & Flynn began to despise his wife.
But despite hating his wife, Flynn refused to divorce her because he didn’t want to lose his kids, his reputation, nor his job (his father-in-law gave him a job working for him). But his affair partner would not keep seeing him unless they divorced, so he decided to murder his wife.
It’s a devastating reminder of what sin takes from us. Caleb went from lust, to betrayal, to adultery, to murder.
And now his wife is dead. His children are without both parents. His affair partner has been exposed and her life is ruined. And of course, Caleb ruined his own life.
“Sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, but you must rule over it.”
“The most important thing is sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ every single day. The second most important thing is making sure you can do the first thing.”
My husband dedicated his life to protecting the freedoms given to us by our Creator and ensured by our Founders.
I’ll forever be inspired by the wisdom in his words. I pray they inspire you too, not simply to cherish the freedoms we’ve inherited, but to defend them so our children and their children inherit them too.

Last year’s conference, I went with tears, uncertainties, confusion, fears. I prayed, begged God, fasted. Never knew God was cooking. I had my prayer requests but God had his answered prayers. I came to dance to him for holding my hands all through this year.
