@greg16676935420 I thought you were from India? I’m feeling deceived.

@greg16676935420 @Kalshi Money just makes you more of who you are already… not sure it changes much. It’s why lottery winners are generally bankrupt in a few years.

Did you know C.S. Lewis predicted the modern obsession with “being nice” would destroy the soul?

In The Abolition of Man, Lewis argues that when a society stops believing in objective virtue, it doesn’t become tolerant… it becomes manipulable.

He calls the result “men without chests.”

People with appetites and intellects, but no courage, no honor, no trained moral instincts. They can calculate everything and defend nothing.

Lewis saw that once we reject inherited moral law, we don’t become free. We become raw material… easily shaped by propaganda, pleasure, and fear.

Modern man prides himself on compassion while quietly surrendering every standard that once gave compassion meaning.

Lewis’s insight is brutal: a civilization that educates clever cowards will eventually be ruled by tyrants or technicians.

Because when nothing is worth dying for, everything becomes negotiable… including human dignity.

@FrankLuntz @X I’m a pastor, and I don’t agree that it’s morally just to shoot a looter.

@greg16676935420 @3YearLetterman @JoelEmbiid @Kohls I think it’s a Hippo violation. I expect better from you guys.

Any of us can sit back and decide it's easier to follow the world's message. A point of view. The example of someone else's life.

We can rationalize anything we want. But the invitation for us is not to come and follow our neighbor or fellow believer. It's to follow Christ.

On this Good Friday I’m reminded it was the religious people, not Jesus, who leveraged politics to accomplish their ultimate end.

[Seth Bartal @sethbartal]

@ScottWalker I have a lot of respect for you and have been following you for a while. As a pastor, I was disheartened to see your tweet calling students morons. You represent Christ to the watching world, and He gave His life for those students as much as He did for you and me

[Taylor University @tayloru]

On this Palm Sunday, may we remember the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, where the people welcomed Him with joy and excitement.

Let us pray that we also may welcome Jesus into our hearts with joy and excitement. Lord, help us to remember the sacrifice that Jesus made for us on the cross and to follow His example of love and humility.

Amen.

If you have been called to lead, it is primarily to better an organization, not to better your own circumstances.

[Richard Blackaby @richardblackaby]

If your theology leads you to act in an un-Christlike manner, it's time to adjust your theology!

@nicknye do you remember the time we lit fireworks in your car? I was just thinking about that and got a good laugh

@MrJohnson1132 Dare to Lead by Brene Brown is remarkable, though it has a lot of colorful language you may not want out loud if young ears are around.
