@Burgervonstadt I only enjoyed it with my turbo controller 😎

@ROG_ness I stopped using them shortly after I got them as they made me feel nauseated. I just use regular reading glasses now as my ability to see far away is not that bad.

Part of the cringiness was the fact that singing along to a track felt like a performance, not worship.

[Dawn Ortiz @Rumor99]

From the perspective of someone who sings professionally, this thread is spot on.

This is terrible advice that hurts Lutheran parishes.

Let's start with some technical hurdles:

Praise music requires a significant investment in sound equipment. You can easily spend $500k to $1m to get a functional sound system that can amplify your praise band.

[Dawn Ortiz @Rumor99]

We attended an LCMS church for a few months that suddenly started playing canned praise music during services. Ninety percent of the congregation wasn’t singing, just listening to the voice over the speakers. We left and did not return.

I will say time and time again the primary emphasis in the Christian life should be prayer and repentance in one’s vocation not theology, this is the calling of a select few.

Am I the only one who thinks this is…odd at best? Y’all know the One Ring was not a good thing right?

🚨ELON UNVEILS GROK 3 WITH EPIC LORE VERSE—"ONE MIND TO RULE THEM ALL"

Elon just introduced Grok 3 with a legendary twist—a verse in the style of Tolkien’s Ring Poem.

3 minds for Search-Kings, 7 for Agents, 9 for Memory-Weavers… and One to rule them all.

Elon is forging the future of AI with search, agency, memory, and humor—uniting them in one powerful system.

This isn’t just an upgrade. This is the AI legend in the making.

@pneuma317 Yes!

Prayer, meditation, and contemplation of Christ's work will never be as popular as polemics, but it matters far more. Better to focus on what's important than to spend more time in constant debate about useless controversies.

Thankful that Jesus Christ is in control of the world.

These past few years it seems like Halloween decorations have gotten more and more ugly

@PastorSharp Sort of…trying to post a bit more but also trying not to get sucked in too much 😅

Wisdom begins with trusting in Jesus and His Word.
