@braxton_mccoy Bursitis?

I have this stupid nagging swelling on my elbow so I hit up one of my good friends who happens to be a fancy pants physician. He told me to spray Windex on it.

Great now change the birth certificate to your married name and get back to me

I appear to have entered into an "everything must be cooked in/on cast iron" phase of life. This was unexpected.

I remember when I realized I was using the middle finger emoji thinking it was the pointing up emoji. Ya, that was funny.🤣

Please pray for fruitful conversations during our time at San Diego State University today. Follow @GSAbolitionists and reach out to them to join the work in California!

I was formerly promiscuous. My wife was a virgin. I was then radically born-again. Then I fell into more sexual sin. Then I returned as a prodigal. Reading, studying, learning, praying. Grief and repentance over my wayward ways. We got to know each other for about a year...

Did steaks in the cast iron tonight. Usually use the pellet smoker.

@holzenkrieger I have a mini chainsaw. I’d definitely chop my leg off with a big one. Or at least that’s what I picture.

Things which really are "Do or do not. There is no try." 👇🏿 -Handling a chainsaw -Disarming bombs -Defeating Islam -Calming down a woman ...what else?

@politicalmath @LudicrousHilar1 🤣🤣🤣

There is something so beautiful about how a public intellectual like Richard Hanania doesn't realize that the screenshot he posted reveals which poll option he selected

During an interview in 1974, Corrie ten Boom shared how she once encouraged fellow believers in Africa with one of her father's memorable lessons on why Christians need not fear being strong enough to endure suffering: "I once said to my father (I was still a little girl), 'Daddy, I will never be strong enough to suffer for Jesus.' And Father said, 'When you go to travel with a train to Amsterdam, when do I give you the train ticket? Three weeks before?' I said, 'No, Daddy, the day that I go to travel.' And Father said, 'That's what God does. Today, you do not need to have strength to suffer for Jesus, but the moment you will have the honor to suffer for Him, He will give you all the strength.' And then I was confident. And I said to these people, 'When you have to suffer for Jesus, the Lord will give you the train ticket.'"

My wife was formerly promiscuous. I was a virgin. She was then radically born-again. Committed to church, evangelized constantly, Puritan books in her bedroom, prayer journals, grief over past sexual sin, etc. We got to know each other well for over a year, dated for four months, engaged for two and a half, and didn't sin sexually with one another. Our first kiss with each other was at the altar on our wedding day (reaction pic attached!). We've been married for over five years now, and she's been the most wonderful and godly wife, mother to our three children, and homemaker you could imagine. She's more pure than most virgins, as biblical purity has less to with past sins (though they certainly matter) and more to do with one's current posture of the heart and daily decisions to honor the Lord (Matt. 5:8). We're far too quick to forget the story of the woman labeled as a known "sinner" (likely a prostitute) in Luke 7:36-50 who was washing Jesus' feet with her tears while kissing them too. The Pharisees were shocked that Jesus let a public sinner do this. Jesus responded with a parable about debts being forgiven and ended with this powerful conclusion: "Her many sins have been forgiven; that’s why she loved much. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little" (Luke 7:47). Everyone seems to highlight the benefits of virginity, and it certainly is a blessing. But we forget to highlight the benefits of being forgiven much as well. My wife knows the depths of Jesus' forgiveness more than most people, enabling her to more easily live out a life of passionate love for her Savior. A woman or man's past sexual sin matters. But what matters far more when it comes to deciding who to marry is if the person is truly born again, if their repentance is real, if they truly have a heart for Christ, if they truly follow Jesus and obey his commands. "God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong. God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world ​— ​what is viewed as nothing ​— ​to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, so that no one may boast in his presence. It is from him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom from God for us ​— ​our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, — in order that, as it is written: 'Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.'" (1 Cor. 1:27-31) "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come!" (2 Cor. 5:17)

@hey_mindi @ladydi3501 Also are the most expensive I think as far as thrift stores go.

Did you know Goodwill made $2.1 BILLION in revenue last year? They pay executives 6-figure salaries. They pay workers sometimes less than minimum wage via a legal loophole. They get their inventory donated for free then sell it back to the public. The thrift store for “poor people” is one of the most profitable nonprofits in the country.

Rueben’s tonight!

@AprilWild28 Rueben's what tonight?

Does Israel have "a right to exist?" The answer is an emphatic NO, and I'll explain why. For starters, the question itself is manipulative and means one of two things: (A) The first is that the question means they want something from you. This is the most common. If you concede that yes, Israel has a right to exist, it will be followed by a list of things they need to actualize that right. If Israel has a right to exist, they need our bombs. They need our tax dollars. They need our national resources. They need our veto power at the U.N. Their so-called "right to exist" will require something from us for the right to be conferred. Notice that Americans never go around asking other nations if we have a right to exist. That's because we're not trying to bilk them out of anything. (B) The second is that the question is asked so that, if we answer in the affirmative, it means we must overlook or excuse whatever horrendous human rights abuse, illegal activity, or immoral action they want to undertake (or already have) - even if it is to the detriment of the United States. This strategy requires Israel to label everything an existential crisis, with Israel's future existence hanging in the balance. Once something becomes existential, then ethics don't matter. If this is an extinction-level event, then it's not the time to worry about the morality of a matter. Kill women and children? Yes, because Israel has a right to exist. Murder nine civilian non-combatants for every one terrorist? Yes, because Israel has a right to exist. Double-tap missile targets, killing aid workers? Yes, because Israel has a right to exist. Ethnic cleansing in Gaza? Yes, because Israel has a right to exist. Bomb churches? Yes, because Israel has a right to exist. Target journalists? Yes, because Israel has the right to exist. Blow up oil fields? Yes, because Israel has a right to exist. Violate international law? Yes, because Israel has a right to exist. Because nothing is as important as existing, it's the perfect Get-Out-Of-Having-a-Conscience Free Card for a Desert War Cult that wants to act however it wants with impunity. But there's another reason the question is illegitimate. It's wrongfully open-ended. It's not a complete question. No nation on Earth has a unilateral "right to exist" without qualification; not even the United States. There's got to be an IF on the end of it. Does Israel have a right to exist...if it requires the rest of the world to live on the brink of WWIII? No. Does Israel have a right to exist if it means bankrupting the United States to guarantee its security? No. Does Israel have the right to exist if it means genocide of its neighbors? No. Does Israel have a right to exist if it's acting in constant violation of international law? No. The moment a nation has an unqualified "right to exist" is the moment it can get away with whatever it wants, behave in a way that's detrimental to every other nation on Earth, and can even demand you help facilitating its existence because, after all, it has a "right" to it. Next, logically, we cannot affirm Israel's unilateral "right to exist" over and against the rights of other nations to exist. God Almighty forbids favoritism. He's not a respecter of persons (the Bible says this three times, each time in reference to Jews), and we're forbidden from showing partiality on account of their alleged genetic ancestry. God hates this. It's a sin. If we affirm Israel's "right to exist, " we must by the same measure affirm the right of Iran to exist. And Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Libya, Lebanon, Jordan, the UAE, Iraq, Syria, et al. And I don't feel like it, do you? Sorry. Step out of line, and you get smoked. That goes for Israel, just like it goes for Iran. Further, Israel most emphatically does NOT have a divine right to exist. The Abrahamic Promise of Genesis 12:3 is about Christ, and the recipients, or heirs of that promise, are Christians exclusively. Those who have faith in Jesus are the “heirs of the promise” (Galatians 3:29). The Seed referenced in the promise is Christ, according to Paul, and he very explicitly says that it’s NOT Jews (Galatians 3:16). There is no Covenant blessing or promise obtainable or retainable outside of Christ (2 Corinthians 2:10). Romans 9 says that Jews who reject Christ do not belong to Israel (Romans 9:6-8). Romans 11 says that Jews who reject Christ have been rejected by God and they’ve been broken off from Abraham (Romans 11:17–20). Whatever the Dispensationalists claim in the novel eschatology about the future, doesn't change the fact that they are - as it stands now - cut off from the promises of God until at such time they stop persisting in unbelief. Israel does not have the right to exist on account of an ancient ancestral land deed. Let's presume for a moment that most Israelis aren't more European than they are Middle Eastern. Let's pretend they're more Semitic than the Palestinians who've lived there continually for thousands of years (they aren't). It wouldn't matter if it were true. That's not how the world works. Americans don't have to give back Florida to the Seminole. My ancestors came from the British Isles, but I don't have the right to Buckingham Palace. The land known as Palestine has been inhabited by dozens and DOZENS of people groups over the millennia. Every nation on Earth has previously been inhabited by different people groups than those who live there now. And that means exactly nothing. And if you want to quote the Bible at this point, refer back to the last one. If we're playing by Biblical rules, Palestine belongs to Christ, which means it should be transferred to those who are in Christ, at which point, the Church would happily take it. And finally, it would be foolish and irresponsible for any serious person to answer "Does Israel have a right to exist" in the affirmative, knowing what the Zionists mean when they say "Israel." In their head, they don't mean the strip of land we call Israel. They mean Greater Israel (which is why they refer to the land held by other nations as Judea, or Samaria, or Greater Israel). Their entire national history has been one ambitious land grab after another. Their goal is to occupy practically the entire Middle East, a region currently home to 310 million Muslims. No, we don't want WWIII, thank you very much. And we're not going to affirm your right to exist there. As Christians, there's a bonus reason we should answer that question in the negative. We should be reminded that the current global consensus is that no Christian ethnostate should exist on this planet. That's out of the question for every major international ruling body on Earth. So in a world in which Christians are not allowed to have a Christian ethnostate, there's no good reason we should support a Jewish one. Jesus Christ is the King of Kings. We should not support the "right to exist" of a nation that rejects Jesus in their national charter, which Israel matter-of-factly does. Their entire identity is founded upon their rejection of Jesus as Lord. They ban Jews who believe in Christ from migrating to Israel. They ban public Christian evangelism. They pull the broadcast licenses of Christian TV and radio if they provide programming directed at evangelizing Jews. They're hostile to the indigenous church. They discriminate against Christian in a thousand different ways, none of them secretly. Any Christian who would support the right of a nation to exist that is THAT hostile to our God needs to get their head on straight. Not only should we not support their right to exist, but newsflash: God Almighty also doesn't, either. He does not embrace a nation that rejects His Son. Reject Christ, reject God (Luke 10:16). Reject God, be rejected by God (2 Chronicles 5:2). Does Israel have a right to exist? The short answer is no. The long answer is noooooooo. It doesn't. That does not mean - for the record - that Jews don't have a right to exist, any more or less than any other human has such a right. But their nation-state? Their body-politic? Their collective civic identity? No, it doesn't. And that's the only answer this side of common sense.
