When David Brooks joined the conservative movement in the 1980s, there were two types of people: those who cared earnestly about ideas, and those who wanted only to shock the left. The reactionary fringe has won, Brooks writes.

George Whitefield, responding to a critic: "Dear sir, I thank you heartily for your letter. As for what you and my other enemies are saying against me, I know worse things about myself than you will ever say about me."

Henlo. Pls gib scritches. I am goob boy. Oh yeah, das da stuff

I invite you to join me in prayer for the precious people of Southeast Asia, including the faithful servants of the Lord whom I know personally. www.bbc.com/news/article...

We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.

From Pew: "In most cases, the bulk of the switching in all age groups is disaffiliation – much of which is people leaving Christianity." "They will be appalled at the sight of each other and will waste away because of their sin." —Ezek. 4:17b www.pewresearch.org/religion/202...?

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore.

Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.

Henlo. Pls gib snaccs. Wait... Dis finger... Ok, but I still bites🐶🦴

Oh my... this truly is the story that just keeps on giving... www.spiegel.de/internationa...

The Lord be in your heart and upon your lips

The Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, which was shed for thee, preserve thy body and soul unto everlasting life.

Wesley truly was a "Mere Christian" before his time. •A priest in the Church of England •Converted under the preaching of Lutheran Pietists •A best friend to a Calvinist separatist •The maternal grandson of a Presbyterian and Puritan •A user of the Westminster Standards for catechesis

Again & again, the Southern Baptist Convention has squashed oversight-oriented reform efforts. Now closure of DOJ probe ends another possibility for abuse accountability. A post-mortem from @liamsadams.bsky.social with #SBCtoo survivor quotes. #ThisistheSBC www.tennessean.com/story/news/r...

We acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness

Lord have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.

"Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a helpless people. A tyrannical ruler practices extortion, but one who hates ill-gotten gain will enjoy a long reign." Proverbs 28:15-16 www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03...

so is the danger great

A simple, clarifying, stabilizing, strengthening prayer for every day: I give my life to Christ. To Christ only. To Christ fully. To Christ gladly. Amen.

"The most fundamental question concerning the person of Christ is, is Jesus Christ really God? Not merely is He Divine, but is He actually God?" R.A. Torrey, The Fundamental Doctrines of the Christian Faith. New York: George H. Doran Company. 1918.

"God is beyond the grasp of every concept I have of him. He is utterly incomprehensible. Yes, God is everything revealed in Scripture, but also infinitely more. God is not an object that I can determine, master, possess, or command." (Peter Scazzero, 'Emotionally Healthy Spirituality')

“Pursue love” (1 Cor 14:1). Christianity is more than this. But it is never less.

"The gospel is glorious because every attribute of deity is manifested in it with unrivaled splendor. But I desire to come home to your consciences by asking, “Is the gospel to you a glorious gospel?" (Charles Spurgeon, Sermons, vol. 13, sermon 758)

I've volunteered packing Ready to Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) before. Here there's enough RUTF to save half a million children's lives, but it's going unused due to USAID cuts. This is immoral and contrary to the Gospel, yet some Evangelicals celebrate. Have we no shame? youtube.com/shorts/6DG8h...

The #Ashes remind us of who we are, which does us good. It puts us in our place, smooths out the rough edges of our narcissism, brings us back to reality, and makes us more humble and open to one another. None of us is God; we are all on a journey. #Lent vatican.va/content/france…
