@SethDillon That needs to happen!

It’d be a shame if every Christian in the MLB started writing Bible verses on their hats.

@AGJamesUthmeier @megbasham @MLB Thank you!!

Do you practice religious discrimination in Florida, @MLB? You’ll be hearing from my office soon.

@ClownWorld He’s already unattractive on the inside, she needs to run like Forrest Gump!

Bro got so traumatized by his first marriage he added a weight clause to the prenup

@HawleyMO @JonnyRoot_ Thank you so much! Stay on them. The MLB is absolutely discriminating against player’s Christian faith.

What does MLB think it’s doing penalizing players for their Christian faith? They owe us some answers. Right now.

@ColleenNobdp5 @howertonjosh @TheAthletic @TheAthleticMLB Call me Karen all day. It’s truth. I pray they come to repentance and faith in Christ before it’s too late.. for you as well.

@Birdietweets16 @howertonjosh @TheAthletic @TheAthleticMLB Sinful & harmful? OK Karen

After three San Francisco Giants pitchers appeared in Friday’s game with Bible verses written on their Pride Night caps, MLB issued a warning that similar behavior will not be tolerated. More details: nyti.ms/4virvHy

@canxnt @TheAthletic @TheAthleticMLB No.. that standing strong for what is right.

@TheAthletic @TheAthleticMLB Writing a bible verse on a pride night baseball cap is such loser behaviour

@NYMetsRallyBird @howertonjosh @TheAthletic @TheAthleticMLB It’s not performative to refuse to betray the tenants of your Christian faith. They are the examples we need. It’s shameful what the MLB is trying to do.

@howertonjosh @TheAthletic @TheAthleticMLB God bless them, but not their performative nonsense.

@ColleenNobdp5 @howertonjosh @TheAthletic @TheAthleticMLB It’s not loving to celebrate & support behavior that is sinful & harmful to that person. In fact, it’s the opposite. The MLB trying to force players to go against their faith is truly hypocritical & unloving.

@howertonjosh @TheAthletic @TheAthleticMLB Yeah part of that "Love thy neighbor " hypocrisy

@TheAthletic @TheAthleticMLB MLB discriminating against Christian convictions while bowing to depravity. You should be so ashamed. My grandson adores baseball but I’ll be teaching him to stand for what is right like these 3 “Giant” players.

@CuriosityonX Where’s this Buc-ees we’ve heard about??

If aliens visit Earth, what’s the first thing they’d say?

@markrobinsonNC Sir, this is the best thing I’ve seen on social media in a long time. Kudos to you. I truly wish that lady could hear your wise words.

Want to raise kids who are decent human beings? Here’s what you can teach them.

@SteveDeaceShow @ericmetaxas Thanks for the review. Nothing could make me change my mind about Jesus and my trust in Him. I was not intrigued by this movie and now won’t waste any money on it.

MY REVIEW OF DISCLOSURE DAY -- A DIRECT ASSAULT ON CHRISTIANITY (AND SPIELBERG'S WORST MOVIE) Because of how intentional I believe this film is in attempting to deconstruct Christianity, and because I want to warn people about not seeing it, this will be a very spoiler-filled review. You have been warned before proceeding further. This review will be done in two acts: 1) the worldview of the film, 2) the quality of the film. Neither will be positive. Disclosure Day's Worldview This is a rather blatant attempt to evangelize into a new religion. In many respects, the transition Steven Spielberg makes from his 1970s classic Close Encounters of the Third Kind, to now Disclosure Day, is very similar to what you see from a lot of the prominent UFO/alien obsession proxies like Dr. Steven Greer. At first they start off in wonderment about what else is really out there in the cosmos and whether we're alone in the universe (or Close Encounters), but they always eventually end up at the aliens are really our saviors to show fallible human beings the way to salvation (or Disclosure Day). If you only see people like Greer or Luis Elizondo on cable news networks, you'd think they're just scientifically inquisitive and want "the truth to be told." But if you watch their documentaries, as I have, it becomes increasingly obvious they are really selling a religion. Greer is basically just a wannabe prophet of the non-human intelligence phenomena as deliverers at this point, and Elizondo is on his way there by angrily dismissing the possibility this is all just a demonic spiritual deception (as he did in last year's The Age of Disclosure documentary). Here are some examples of how this film head-on intends to deconstruct Christianity (in chronological scene order): --The main character's love interest, who is now his admitted fornication partner, is a former nun. She specifically tells him early in the film she left the convent behind because "I lost my belief that God is divine." Hold on to that language later, because it's going to put everything else I point out next in its proper context. --When the shadowy agency conducting the decades-long coverup attempts to use alien technology to subvert the former nun's consciousness and turn her into a traitor, she grabs her crucifix and tries to invoke its power to resist the alien tech -- to the point she essentially stigmatas herself. However, the crucifix is rendered powerless in the face of the superior alien technology and thus she is given over to it. --The entire story is unfolding under the backdrop of pending nuclear war and planetary annihilation (between the US and Russia, of course, because apparently it's still 1985). In other words, we are in the end of days and lost as a species unable to save ourselves. We need a salvation we cannot acquire on our own. --We learn the aliens specifically chose a male and a female to be the "vessels" at the vanguard of this next step of our evolution. Which the aliens are here to guide for us, of course. It is eventually revealed the male is given mathematic revelation (or logic) and the female empathy (or nurturing) -- with the female's gift depicted as superior in its intensity. Or a divine feminine. --The climax of the disclosure broadcast occurs when the largest of the aliens is brought in by several humans in what is basically a gestatorial chair, which he emerges from to pronounce blessings upon the new Adam and Eve with a priestly whisper in his native tongue of clicks and tones (I guess Latin would've been too on the nose). The whisper is translated for all of humanity into the final line of the film: "Listen." Some might say sort of like, "Let those with ears to hear let them hear." --Though the film makes it clear the climactic day of disclosure is being felt globally, the only religion wrestling with it is Christianity. At the convent we see several of the nuns desperately clinging to their Rosaries looking for guidance, while the Mother Superior lets out a wry smile in approval of the coming syncretism. No other religion is even depicted, let alone shown to have to grasp with the significance of all this. Why is that? All the potential answers to this question are bad. Though I'd love that to be the case, Christianity is not the only global religion on this planet. Furthermore, the only Christianity depicted in the movie is Catholicism. --Now, back to the smiling Mother Superior at the end of the movie, and the former nun saying she lost her belief that God is divine in its opening act. The movie says this at the same time it makes it clear humanity needs saving, and the former nun also makes the case that even though she doesn't believe in God anymore the world needs that belief to maintain any form of order. Enter the aliens, who check all the boxes of what is required. They are sinless, while we are not. They have knowledge kept secret, that we do not. They are the only ones who can share such revelation with us, we can't acquire it ourselves. And by embracing this singular truth mankind can be saved, because we can't save ourselves. If all that's not a religion, I don't know what is. If all that's not a direct attempt to redirect Christianity, I don't know what is. Marcion, Arius, and Pelagius were more subtle. Quality of Disclosure Day Itself Thankfully, this movie is also not very good. Had it been executed better, we might really be in trouble as a people here. It's the worst movie Spielberg has ever done. The film doesn't really have a plot, but is just one long chase scene of not believable things. Like we are supposed to believe a nerd who admits he was never in the field before this, is now able to suddenly drive cars at high speed through houses and evade the world's most effective private security firm that has successfully protected this secret for over 75 years. We are supposed to believe if you hide behind rocks just five feet from that same organization's operatives they won't look for you there, or hear you running away in the woods as you step on branches. In another scene the "good guys" use the alien's invisibility technology to escape, but for whatever reasons turn on the sirens of the firetruck they're in so now "the bad guys" know they're there. Finally, we are supposed to believe that same shadowy organization ejects and just angrily gives up at the end without a fight to permit disclosure day to happen, even though they could've just pulled out their guns and shot everybody there before the cameras went live. You make these kinds of continuity and believability errors when you're more about the message than the movie. I recognize it, because it's why Christian movies were so bad for so long. More concerned with checking ideological boxes and shoehorning in favored tropes over telling the best possible story. Spielberg made mistakes with this film he would've never made before as possibly the greatest director ever. And we see a lot of left-wing Hollywood making this mistake nowadays. The industry has lost patience with subverting us with good stories over time, and it's now just knocking on doors and putting their pitch right in your face like the evangelists they are. Consider it a blessing that America's greatest director cast his pearls unto swine by shrouding all this deconstruction and deception within a hot mess of a film -- otherwise we might've had a real birth of a dangerous cult on our hands. The Lord works in mysterious ways.

@ashleyschendel @MadeNewRedeemed I agree. I really never knew anyone who traveled abroad for vacation until the last several years. Sure, people took a special anniversary trip, etc., but couples & families going to Europe & exotic destinations sometimes twice a year. It’s become a big (expensive) thing.

Vacation culture has gotten a little out of control to me. I live in southeast Tennessee, in the woods with my family and my dogs, and most of the time I do not have this huge itch to leave. We travel every now and then, but there is something really nice about actually enjoying the life you already have. People act like you’re supposed to always be planning the next trip, the next flight, the next escape. Then half the time you come home tired, behind, and wondering why you spent all that money to need a vacation from the vacation. America is huge. Especially where I live, I can drive a few hours and see mountains, rivers, small towns, lakes, back roads, and some of the prettiest places in the country. But honestly, some of my favorite days are just being home with my dogs, my family, the woods, and nowhere we have to be. That feels like rest to me.

@carolmswain @yesnicksearcy @spencerpratt Thank you. So tired of seeing that profanity.

@yesnicksearcy @spencerpratt Why use the F word? It adds nothing of value.

This is the greatest fucking concession speech in the history of the world. @spencerpratt

@mitchellvii Golden. Sweetest dogs ever.

What's your favorite breed of dog if you were to get a new puppy tomorrow? I'm torn between a golden retriever and a bernadoodle.

@Ephesians_4_29 @Soteriology101 @Pastor_ChrisH Because they seem to read all of scripture to make it fit into their already decided theology rather scripture forming and even changing their theology to obey God’s Word.

@Soteriology101 @Pastor_ChrisH Why do Calvinists choose to let their minds go this direction? All the “I before E except after C” gymnastics they have to perform on scripture after scripture.

I appreciate Dr. Craig’s desire to highlight God’s patience and mercy in 2 Peter 3:9, there’s much we can affirm together about the gospel offer to all. That said, I see it differently in light of the context. The “you,” “beloved,” and “us” throughout the chapter (and from 1:1 onward) clearly address believing Christians, the elect audience Peter is writing to. The elect are unbelievers prior to faith and regeneration, so this group can include (from our perspective) elect individuals still in unbelief, even some who currently scoff. From God’s eternal, decretive perspective, though, the pronouns pick out the elect alone: the Lord is “not willing that any [of us] should perish, but that all [of us] should come to repentance.” The risk feels too great if we instead say God qua God (in His simple, immutable, omnipotent essence) is seeking the salvation of all without exception. It seems to introduce potential frustration or unfulfilled intent into the impassible, self-sufficient God of classical theism, threatening divine simplicity (one unified will) and sovereignty. I believe the text is stronger when we let the immediate context and the distinction between God’s preceptive and decretive wills guide us.

@ClownWorld I don’t think it is real. Though, tipping culture is out of hand. We always tip 20% at sit down service places. Zero tip if I order at a counter and make my own drink. Those people (Panara, Chicken Salad Chick, and more) need to stop asking on the register.

Tipping culture is getting out of hand Good service deserves a tip, but 40% being pushed as the standard is crazy

@Cernovich If possible, I’d rather drive. You lose a lot of time just waiting at the airport and you don’t have to rent a car which is also expensive. Plus, enjoy the ride.. check out unique things along the way. Saves a ton of money.

I looked at airplane ticket prices. For a family of 6, it’s a used (or new) car. As the Europeans in the 🇺🇸 are learning, America is a giant amusement park and also nature preserve. Nothing else light it. We will be glamping a lot this summer. Eff that air travel. My goodness.

@KristanHawkins @JDVance @theisabelb He is up to the task! I normally never watch but will try to catch his segment.

Prayers up for @JDVance next week. He's heading onto The View. As our friend @theisabelb can attest, those ladies don't exactly roll out the welcome mat for conservatives. 😂 Go get them, Mr. Vice President.

@TheCinesthetic Excellent series.

Everyone should watch BAND OF BROTHERS (2001) at least once.
