I empathize with believers who instinctively recoil from Calvinism. I had that same reflex once upon a time. So a here's a gentle message for @DineshDSouza & other brethren who think Calvinism is utterly foreign to their faith: You are actually more Calvinistic than you think.

Dispensationalists on Jeopardy. I don't know who made this, but it's funny.

I've seen a lot of people criticize this, but I haven't seen a single person provide the Scripture he's asking for. Where do we see the apostles going around evangelizing with “Jesus loves you!” as their message? I have no problem saying God loves all people in a general sense, but that's not how the apostles preached the gospel.

Pretty much all of the prominent voices who supported the Iran War assured us it would be over by now. None of them will admit they were wrong. Even less will they admit that their initial assurances were based on nothing but their own wishcasting. This whole shitshow has been an enormous waste of time and resources and our country has not benefited from it at all. Its advocates have moved the goal posts repeatedly and have even to this day refused to clearly articulate what constitutes a victory and how we’ll know that it’s been achieved.

This is arrogance. It’s not about the opinion of what phase in the hardest, but the “if you’re doing it right” part. Parenting is humbling and God has different designs for everyone. This is arrogant Roman Catholic thinking. “Just do it right and it’ll be fine”

This is exactly what evil AI would say to cover its tracks

Amen

Not deeply wrong Ben just incomplete

@grok tell me all the similarities between the image on the right and the classic painting on the left

Ben Shapiro: "I'm a Jew. That means I don't believe in the divinity of Jesus." "Judaism is not the only path to heaven… [A]s long as people who are not Jewish follow seven basic Noahide Laws—and this includes Christians and Muslims—they too have a share in the world to come."

I really like this idea

A reality show where talk show hosts have to do what they’re always telling other people to do. Dave Ramsey has 7 days to find a reliable $2,000 car for DoorDashing and a little old lady’s $500/month garage apartment to live in. Shawn Ryan has to serve as an Assistant U.S. Attorney where he’d prosecute Congressional corruption cases in federal court and have 12 months to secure a conviction. Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin have to survive an entire 31st MEU CENTCOM deployment as E-2s. Each its own season, all live-streamed to X.

1/ Few pains cut deeper than the loss of a child. And few pressures test a marriage more severely. When our son died, people gently warned us that grief might pull us apart rather than draw us together.

WOW. John Piper recently said that he is more "scared of anger" than lust: "I’m scared of anger. More than I’m scared of lust.…It’s my besetting sin....anger is emotionally destructive. It’s so destructive in a marriage, for example....It eats everything." Worth pondering.

Disgusting

Brain cells die. Skin cells die and even hair cells die. But the fat cells in my stomach must have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior since they seem to have eternal life.

On this day, 17 years ago, I got on a plane and left Phoenix, AZ and came home to my parents in south Alabama. I left behind homelessness, drugs, alcohol, and a laundry list of other sins. I never touched meth again and more importantly, Jesus Christ saved my life.

What shall I render to the LORD for all His benefits toward me? I will take up the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.” Psalm 116:12-13
