Even the demons didn't want to go to hell. They begged Jesus to send them into the pigs instead.

Something to sit and think about today.

[Tinashe @baba_nyenyedzi]

The GCE O-Level, introduced in Britain in 1951, was never designed for the masses. It was the preserve of grammar schools, an elite stream educating roughly the top 20% of pupils. ( mission school type schooling in Zimbabwe) The other 80% of 16 year olds were never expected to sit O-Levels, let alone pass five subjects. Yet Zimbabwe has taken an examination built for an academic minority and decreed it the minimum standard for an entire nation.

The predictable consequence is that the overwhelmingly 90% of rural pupils leave school without five O-Levels. They’re recorded as having failed Zimsec. 46 years consistently 90% of rural kids “ fail”. They are branded failures, when in fact it is the education system that has failed them. We have imported a colonial sorting mechanism, stripped it of its original context and transformed it into a national instrument of humiliation. There is nothing enlightened about forcing children to climb a ladder that was never built for them.

India and China do not pretend that every kid must become an academic; they use examinations early on to sort students into appropriate pathways, the vast majority into technical and vocational training, while Zimbabwe has turned an elite academic filter inherited from Britain into a universal test of worth. The irony.

The real tragedy is not that rural children fail to obtain five O-Levels. It is that policymakers still mistake an examination designed with a particular end as mass education. It is bureaucratic dogma sustained by inertia and defended by people who have never had to live with its consequences.

@marshallchikari @JayJayTeamTruth What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: 23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, Romans 9:22-23

Your parents have been married for close to 30 years. You don’t see them as role models for marriage, but two social media couples who got married and divorced in less than two years are making you scared to get married. You see that you don’t have sense.

@rabbriansamuel Gal 4:9-11 But now, after that u have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak & beggarly elements, whereunto u desire again to be in bondage? Ye observe days, & months, & times, & years. I am afraid of u, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.

Galatians 4:25-26 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is and is in bondage with her children. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

@rabbriansamuel Mat 25:31-46 says otherwise, at least for Gentiles.

@RiceMice448378 @rabbriansamuel Noah, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were not under the Mosaic Law, yet Jesus, Peter James, and John were under the Law. Their 'faith in God' was not identical in practice. #applesandoranges

Because of Jesus…and only because of Jesus, even death couldn’t defeat Chuck Norris.

When Chuck and I studied God’s Word together, there was never a moment he was anything but curious, anxious to learn, eager to deepen in his knowledge of Christ, hungry to know the Truth and conform his life to it.
There was no “action hero” present. No “world champion fighter”, there was only a friend, a fellow disciple, a person desperate to respond to the grace he found in the gospel.

My favorite Chuck story happened years later when I was teaching in a remote area of Central Africa to an assembly of hundreds of young leaders in a hot room after they already had a long day. I did my best to make my case for the gospel and how everyone needed what Christ alone could provide. At one point-in the midst of an illustration I was giving I wanted to use the name of a famous person…someone that all those listening would know and relate to their fame and renown. I mentioned the biggest names I could think of in sports, movies, music, politics-and clearly no one from FIFA, the NBA, NFL, Hollywood, the Grammy’s or the halls of power had captured the fascination of those in the room. When I sat down, I asked my host what “celebrity” I could have used that would have connected with my audience. His response was - “Walker Texas Ranger”. When I told him I was “Walker’s” pastor he lost his mind and as everyone was being dismissed ran quickly back to the mic, made everyone sit down and apologized for not properly introducing me. He told the room that the speaker they just heard was not properly introduced and though they listened with respect, he wanted them to know how great a privilege it was that they would hear from me because (and he made everyone sit down to hear this announcement) I was “Walker’s” pastor. The room went crazy and they didn’t leave but wanted me to address them again. I stood up and as clearly as I could once again presented the gospel narrative with this simple introduction - “Let me tell you what Walker Texas Ranger would want you to know more than anything on earth.” I have never had such an attentive audience.

My prayer is that some of those young leaders will be reunited with Carlos (“Walker’s real name) in glory one day. Chuck loved that story and was more grateful that his “fame” could make Jesus more attractive to others than anything else I could told him. I was grateful to be his friend when he lived in Dallas, and am more grateful to be His brother in Christ for eternity. #chucknorris #soladegloria
