Faith can coexist with sorrow (Job 1:20-22).

If someone tries to sit in judgment over your choice to grow and bring healing to your life, before you let their words take root, take a look at their life and actions. Are they trustworthy? Are they where you’d like to be in life? Are they acting from a place of health or unhealth? Let that determine your response and how much power you give their words.

It was through suffering and being the “victims” of a broken justice system (Acts 16:37) that Paul and Silas were able to share the Gospel with the Philippian jailer (Acts 16:22-31).

A quote by Timothy Keller on navigating pluralistic societies… “My earliest scholarship on pluralism…had convinced me that we aren’t more welcoming of differences when we water down each of our traditions, pretend they are all the same, or look only for common ground. Instead, we might imagine trees so deeply rooted that they have had the water and nutrients to grow wide branches—branches so wide that they overlap with other branches. We need those deep roots—the deep roots of our respective traditions, convictions, and practices—to fuel the growth of our branches in this world. It is as our branches grow that we might find places of overlap with others, who have their own deep roots. And as we find these overlaps, we might be able to work together toward common goals, even if animated by different reasons and convictions. To return to Augustine’s language, we might be able to join together to seek the earthly goods we share in common.” -Timothy Keller

@rustyrockets I think one cool thing about it is how it testifies to the reality of it all: Such details are given because it was real and therefore the story of the Bible reads very differently than myth. Myth doesn’t read that way. The Bible story is one of reality, not fiction.

What do you lot think about the bits of the Bible where they're talking about building the temple and measurements and cubits and all that? I don't have time for all of it, man!!! 😂

Even the mind with which people use to decide that God is not real is in fact a gift from God.

God used the persecution of His people for His purpose and plan (Acts 1:8; 8:1). How big is your God?

I believe that nothing is more often misdiagnosed than our homesickness for Heaven. We think that what we want is sex, drugs, alcohol, a new job, a raise, a doctorate, a spouse, a large-screen television, a new car, a cabin in the woods, a condo in Hawaii. What we really want is the person we were made for, Jesus, and the place we were made for, Heaven. Nothing less can satisfy us. Randy Alcorn

@wendelltalks 1000% agree

Did this for the first time last year. Found it so incredibly valuable in revealing some common themes in my life throughout the year, documenting lessons learned, things to eliminate in my life, and things to prioritize more of. Highly recommend for anyone considering it!

As we approach the end of the year, it’s almost time for my favorite ritual… the annual review For over 15 years, I’ve refined this powerful process to help you pause, reflect on the past year, and start the next one with clarity and direction And I’m thrilled to announce we’re running an all-new live Annual Review Program from Dec. 5 to Jan. 16 I'll guide you step-by-step to unearth your most meaningful insights, celebrate your wins, and start 2025 with a clear roadmap for success Enrollment opens on Nov. 25!

@Riley_Gaines_ @TPUSA @charliekirk11 @RileyGCenter Go Pokes!

Last night, I spoke to ~400 students at Oklahoma State University, and we had to turn away hundreds more due to fire code restrictions. I’m so encouraged by Gen Z—they’ve had enough of the lies they’ve been fed. Gen Z will help save America.

@GutillaJohn @atrupar Roca News recently published an article on why people voted for Trump (article below). Their conclusion was (1) Economy (2) Immigration (3) Transgender Rights (4) Foreign Policy. rocanews.com/stories/672e91…

@atrupar This is such a blatant and intentional misread of people's intentions. The average Trump voter was motivated by exactly what you spoke to in the first place - A better life for your family and the future of your community. The rest is you reading your biases onto others.

I think one of the most difficult reckonings of this election is that the incentives we thought inspired voting choices -- a better life for your family and future for your community -- may not be as decisive as the desire to dominate and inflict cruelty on outgroups. Explanations that don't grapple with this point generally read to me like liberal wishcasting.

@TallKapp Absolutely. We just have to let it.

That which humbles you makes you wise. You just have to let it.

Couldn’t agree more

This is why Roca News has become my primary source of news over the past year. youtu.be/jllzzppjFvM?si…

Elon just answered the toughest question in politics, in the best way I’ve ever seen.
