I was saved. (1Pt 1:3-4) I'm being saved. (1Pt 1:5-7) I will be saved. (1Pt (1:8-9)

@ClayTravis It’s actually even clearer than that.

@BiblicalAnarchy @CommunityNotes we've got a live one!

The only correct way to eat a steak is well done

@chrisholloman15 @CherylSchatz @johngacinski I don't think you're wrong that it's significant; but because the Bible never provides additional detail about what transpired between the Trinity at the cross, it's awfully presumptuous of Man to declare it must have been PSA.

@AttorneyBrand @CherylSchatz @johngacinski I think something significant and unique happened during that 3 hours and the sun going dark is a clue to that significance.

"Jesus was abandoned by everyone, including His Father" A well-meaning brother wrote this today in a group text. This may be one of the worst teachings we hear about Jesus' crucifixion: this notion that the Father turned His back on His Son as He was dying because "God cannot bear to look at sin". What?? This is nonsense. It's not as bad as the word of faith garbage that Jesus went to hell to be tortured by the devil but that's not saying much. The Father loves the Son and to think that He would turn His back on Jesus in His moment of need is absolute incongruent with what the Bible teaches about the relationship between the Father and the Son. Now, do I gently correct him or just leave it be? 🤔

@jonharris1989 I loved your episode on Christian Localism, something I've been advocating ever since reading "Folks, This Ain't Normal" by farmer @JoelSalatin. And I appreciated the irony at the end when the closing advertisement was for my local airport, @flyfwa 😅🛫🛬

@chrisholloman15 @CherylSchatz @johngacinski Yes, the Son of God, the light of the world, died on the cross. That is the significance. (see Jhn 12:27-36)

@AttorneyBrand @CherylSchatz @johngacinski I'm not sure. I just know it happened. I guess it's kind of like the light of the world was extinguished for about 3 hours.

Tomorrow, the Supreme Court will hear one of the most consequential cases of the last 50 years: Whether the 14th amendment grants birthright citizenship to the children of illegal aliens. When I worked in the first Trump admin, I drafted the original executive order ending birthright citizenship for illegal aliens that ultimately went unsigned until the beginning of last year-- and now finds itself at the center of this case. To put it simply: President Trump has every single legal and historical precedent in his favor. When the 14th amendment's birthright citizenship clause was written, illegal immigration was a foreign concept. The 14th Amendment was specifically intended to clarify citizenship for the children of freed slaves. It did not guarantee that a 9-months pregnant Guatemalan could illegally cross the Rio Grande, give birth, and have their child considered an American citizen. The Left always cites the Wong Ark Kim case from 1898 to claim this as settled law, but that case did not apply to illegal aliens. The plaintiff was the son of one of the thousands of Chinese laborers who were brought legally to America during the 19th century to work on the transcontinental railroads. The Supreme Court has never adjudicated the question of whether children born within our borders to somebody who broke our nation's immigration laws are legal citizens. The answer is “no,” and the Court should absolutely uphold the President's executive order. We don't give citizenship to the children of foreign diplomats born in America. In the same way, we should not give citizenship to children of illegal aliens. No European country, not even the Vatican, grants birthright citizenship to children born to unlawful residents. Democrats are naturally freaking out about this case. Why? Because it's a terrifying prospect for the future of their party. They've seen the data showing how much population loss blue states have seen over the last few years. It's possible that California could lose up to six electoral votes in the next census. The only way they can maintain their power is by continually replacing the population with the children of illegals. It's one of the major pillars of Democrat power and it may just be coming to an end.

@chrisholloman15 @CherylSchatz @johngacinski Wouldn't that be a judgment on the world, though?

@CherylSchatz @johngacinski I think it would be safe and scriptural to say that there is a period of time that the father forsook the son. The whole world was dark for 3 hours that has to be significant.

Ready for another crazy Colorado bill? HB26-1309 will take away parents' rights & basic ability to raise their children. Under this bill, doing any of the following will make you a domestic abuser, as the state would now define it as "coercive control" and therefore, "domestic violence": ❌Tracking your child's location to make sure they're safe ❌"Regulating the individual's everyday behavior" ❌Stopping your child from seeing specific friends ❌Preventing your child from spending their money on an expensive toy ❌Taking away your child's phone for a week ❌Refusing to give your middle school daughter birth control ❌Trying to talk your daughter out of having an abortion ❌Telling your child they're too young to transition their gender ❌Much, much more... More in the video ⬇️

@ryanschatz Men fail as pastor because they don't have the spiritual gift of pastor-teacher. They typically exhibit other gifts (evangelism, faith, administration) but not the spiritual gifting of leading the congregation to spiritual maturation.

Well now, wondering why so many men who pastor are failing these days? Could it be because they fail to recognize and encourage strong women into pastoral ministry so that they can counsel other women who need it? I’d say that’s an affirmative 💯

VICTORY: A federal court just struck down FinCEN's rule forcing title companies to report private financial details on every cash real estate transaction — not because they were suspicious, but because the government wanted the data. The rule is now vacated nationwide.

@RobinLeath @Biblicalman A text out of context is a pretext for a proof text. Everything you are quoting strains against the reality taught by the apostles: Christ suffered and died as our example, SO THAT we who are now dead to sin may live in service and sacrifice to Him. Gal 2:21 Php 3:11 1Pe 2:24

@AttorneyBrand @Biblicalman I am his follower too! Aren't you? I will be held accountable for my behavior. The church today is dead. Cheap grace Then he said to the CROWD, “If ANY OF YOU wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross daily, and follow me.” Luke 9

Christianity that costs you nothing isn't Christianity. It's religious cosplay for people allergic to obedience. You want the crown? Pick up the cross first.

@RobinLeath @Biblicalman He spoke this to the 12 apostles before he sent them out. They had to forsake EVERYTHING for him in that part of His ministry. We are not called to DIE for Christ but to LIVE for Him through our spiritual sacrifices. (Rom 12:1-2; Heb 13:15-16; 1Pe 2:5-6)

@AttorneyBrand @Biblicalman Jesus doesn't agree with you. “If you refuse to take up your cross and follow me, you are not worthy of being mine.” Matthew 10:38

@BWSchank Yes, but you are presupposing that thing could not exist before explanation did. Moses did not write the Pentateuch for ~2,000 years after Creation; it does not mean nothing existed prior to Moses writing down the order and means of creation.

@AttorneyBrand Only the body of Christ has those promises which is a new creation that's neither Jew nor Gentile.

It's apparent to me, that at least 99% of those claiming Christ do not understand this.

@Chesschick01 The number of "fences" I jumped to push my 2 year old daughter on Chicago Park swings is immeasurable.

Never forget what they did to children 6 years ago. This is my daughter. She lost so many parts of her childhood. Never let them do it again.

@BWSchank Eph 3's mystery is that "Gentiles should be fellowheirs, of the same body, and partakers of [God's] promise in Christ by the gospel." Col 1's mystery is "Christ in you," that God Himself would indwell Man. Rom 16's mystery is God glorified through Christ, who stablishes us.

@AttorneyBrand Ephesians 3:1-6, 8-9, Colossians 1:24-27 and Romans 16:25.
