"I am enough." No. No you're not. If you were enough, Jesus' death was totally unnecessary and you could save yourself.

@UPS - why would you ship a package going to Franklin, IN, from Plainfield, IN, to Washington state?? It was supposed to be here Feb 3 and now you’re saying *maybe* by Feb 17. It’s high priority and you’ve lost it. What on earth?

@bddfc22 @bussell_brett @RobMKendall Same

@bussell_brett @RobMKendall I just unfollowed the show

Day 18. Hopefully we can all be together again soon making great radio and holding the politicians accountable. I’d love that! 🤷

@anahnemoo Did Mrs Anahnemoo cry? I did quite a few times 🤣

So, Ryle got a haircut. We can almost make a new Ryle. 😅

@AmyInCheeseLand Anyone who has been paying attention has seen this drift clearly happening since Covid. It’s sad, but she’s gone way off the deep end.

Homeschool parents, have you heard of this curriculum?

@Pastor_Gabe I’m so sorry, Gabe.

I'm 45. Can confirm. Last month, my dad went into assisted living diagnosed with lewy body dementia. He's losing sense of the world around him, sees things that aren't there, remembers things that never happened. It adds a new layer to this list. But my dad remains my hero.

@the06010bored @RobMKendall Brownsburg Bible is also a much better option

@RobMKendall There is a nice Lutheran church just down the street from the high school there in Brownsburg.

Nathan was good to my family. I believed in him and missions of the church. They’ve done immense good in their communities. But if he cares for the church and allowing the good works they do to survive, he will step aside and demand Micah do the same. 24sight.news/p/jonathan-pet…

@OnTrac_Shipping Except…you didn’t. You blamed the shipper and refused to help. Nice try.

@danielthree18 Hi, I'm sorry this was your experience. I'd like to help. Please DM us your tracking #/issue here, so we can look into this further: twitter.com/messages/compo… - Thank you.

Man, @adidas needs to stop shipping with @OnTrac_Shipping! More often than not they lose the order. I’ve got on now that’s just circling the drain in #NorthCarolina leaving a facility for a couple days just to return. Happened 3-4 times with this one shipment. It’s never arriving

@Chris_Hohnholz Thankfully @UnderArmour is making it right. But I wonder how much $$ they lose because of stunts like this?

@danielthree18 OnTrac is literally the worst of the worst. It’s a wonder how they’re actually in business.

After steaming my son’s birthday gift, they refuse to even look into the issue. I have to contact the seller of the product and ask for another item to be shipped. What a scammy theft-ring business!!!

@Chris_Hohnholz We saved a lot of money to buy our son the one thing he really wanted, and I didn’t use @amazon - guess I learned that lesson :(.

@OnTrac_Shipping stole my son’s 16th birthday present. So professional.

@thisladysview @FoundationDads We did this. When our son was born 15 years ago, we tried the four Christmas nonsense. Then we said nope! Y’all are ADULTS. You can all come here on Christmas morning or we’ll see you when we can. Suck it up and be nice for your grandkid’s case.

@FoundationDads I wish more adult children of divorce would put their foot down, claim their own joy in their own homes for the holidays, and ask parents to rotate through for meals, gifts, short stays, etc. They should not have to "Four Christmases" because of their parents' choices. 🎄

Something else divorcing parents don't think about. When a child gets married, his time will be split on holidays between his new family and his old. A new tension, but smothered in the blessing of something new. If a parent gets divorced, that split is just between two families, but three. If two are divorced, it can become four different families he is expected to see. More stress. More tensions. More opportunities for resentment to fester. Something he used to look forward to is now inverted and odious. An attitude that he can then pass to his own children. A true tragedy. Another way the curse of divorce cascades.

@anahnemoo 🤣🤣🤣

@marciw7 @BiblicalBeauty

@danielthree18 @BiblicalBeauty That sounds great! Recipe? I’m getting hungry

All this talk of pie has got me wondering, ladies, what kinds of pie are you planning to make for your own husband and family members to delight in this Thanksgiving? I always have to have apple, and I usually try a new recipe every year too. I’m considering the chocolate bourbon pecan pie recipe (link below), but I’m also open to seeing what your go-to recipes are. 🥧

@marciw7 @BiblicalBeauty I’m traveling and don’t have it with me. When I get back home Monday I’ll send it to you! It’s a pretty basic custard pie with PB & powder led sugar mixed in.

@thatbrian @virgilwalker @johnlcooper 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Oh, wait. Are you serious? 🤦🏻‍♀️

@virgilwalker @johnlcooper Or, the song could be objectively terrible, and the genre satanic.

Life is too short for performative outrage. Skillet releases a new song and suddenly everyone with a platform feels obligated to drop a “hot take,” as if the world is waiting for their commentary. It’s exhausting. @johnlcooper has been in the trenches—preaching truth, defending the faith, raising a family, and pushing back against cultural madness. He’s earned the right to create bold art without a committee of self-appointed critics dissecting every note.

@Fred_Butler @anahnemoo Except Christ doesn’t forgive without repentance first. Or do you also preach universal salvation?

It's not being conflated. This is the one thing I totally disagree with Jay Adams about: Making forgiveness conditional. Scripture, however, presents a picture of men forgiving others even when the others may not ask for it or refuse to repent. Matthew 18 is the prescription for this heart attitude. The reason we as people can forgive debts against us is due in part that God has graciously forgiven the greatest debt against Him. Christ is our model in this, who forgave those who sinned against him as he was being crucified. The same with Stephen as he died from stoning, Acts 7:60.

Personally, I'm in the camp of 'forgiveness, absent repentance, is not biblical', but I appreciate her heart.

@ChrisHohnholz My primary concern are the women saying that forgiveness is for the offended - so they aren’t bitter. That’s not the purpose of forgiveness - to make *me* feel better 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ sure, don’t be bitter. But forgiveness doesn’t automatically equal peace, esp when the offender hasn’t asked

I'm seeing a discussion popping up about the question of forgiveness in light of Erika Kirk forgiving the man who killed her husband. The question seems to center around the appropriateness of forgiveness for the act, especially in light of the man not asking for it or showing any evidence of repentance. This is my meager two cents' worth on the matter. In Matthew 18:21, Peter asks, "Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus responds in the following verse, "Jesus said to him, 'I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times.'" The implication here is that as often as you are sinned against, you are to extend forgiveness. In this particular passage, there is no specific mention of repentance being required as a condition of forgiveness. However, in verses 23-35 of the same chapter, the parable Jesus provides describes two men owing debts, and both petition the man to whom they owe money for forgiveness and time. The first man with the greater debt is forgiven, but he later refuses to forgive the debt of a second man who owes him a much smaller amount. The lesson culminates in the first man being imprisoned for his greater debt and for his unforgiving heart. Christ's lesson in this parable is clear: if we are forgiven so much by God, we dare not refuse forgiveness to those who sin against us. However, embedded in this parable is evidence that the one who owes a debt is to acknowledge this debt and ask forgiveness. Furthermore, in Luke 17:3-4, Jesus teaches, "Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him, and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.” Once again, we see that the one in sin is to confess and seek forgiveness, for which we are required to forgive them. The lesson we are to learn is clear: forgiven people forgive. Especially when those who harm us confess and repent of those sins. However, this does not mean we stand back with dour expressions, holding on to anger and pain, waiting for the sinner to provide just enough "repentance" to satisfy our desire for a pound of flesh. Rather, we should be pursuing those who have sinned against us, desiring that they turn from their sins and be reconciled to us. The entire point of Matthew 18:15-20, which outlines the process of church discipline, is that we pursue those who have harmed us that they be reconciled to ourselves and the church. The end result of excommunication is not that we joyfully kick out the rabble rouser; rather, it is with the hope that it may one day lead to repentance and reconciliation (see 1 Cor. 5:5). To that end, the testimony of Scripture is that Christians should earnestly and lovingly pursue the confession and reconciliation of those who have sinned against us. The primary indication that we give forgiveness is that the person seeks it out and demonstrates some level of repentance toward us. Therefore, the consistent mindset of the Christian should be, if I am sinned against, I pursue the one who sinned against me, so that there might be confession, repentance, forgiveness, and reconciliation. With all that said, there is absolutely no prohibition whatsoever in Scripture that a Christian might extend forgiveness absent confession and repentance. While the primary means shown to us is that we pursue the debtor, and he in turn asks forgiveness, there is nothing in Scripture that prevents me from forgiving a person if I so choose to do so of my own accord. There is no commandment that tells me that I must withhold forgiveness unless the debtor begs it from me. Therefore, it is wrong to conclude that any person who freely forgives has somehow erred or done that which is unbiblical. They have the right to forgive of their own accord if they so choose. Ultimately, the heart of every Christian should be to extend forgiveness to any and all who have sinned against us. In fact, to refuse forgiveness has dire consequences: "For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses" (Matt. 6:14-15). Our heart's desire should be that we pursue and gladly extend forgiveness to those who ask it. While it is clear that forgiveness is to be granted to all to seek it, there is no commandment that calls us to withhold it until the sinner requests it from us. Therefore, I would argue that Erika Kirk showed great grace and mercy on one undeserving of her kindness when she forgave the man who killed her husband, and she should be applauded for such a display, not dismissed as though she violated Scripture.
