@TheLOSTworld_ @LOST_Oceanic Very underrated episode. I found it entertaining

Key Discipleship Question:
Am I living as one who knows that I am living at “the end of the ages” (1 Cor 10:11)?

@MeltonDuncan Sounds like we need to continue investing in things like RUF, Covenant College, Ridgehaven, church plants, and church revitalization.

A provocative take. #PCAGA people what are your thoughts?
The Presbytery Inn@PresbyInn
A clear-headed analysis of the problems in the mainline is necessary for any kind of action moving forward. Again, as @ryanburge has shown, the PCA is going to face a massive die off in the next few decades and is going to need both people and resources. I don't think Reformed Presbyterianism survives this century unless NAPARC merges its member churches institutionally and there's some kind of integration of PCUSA churches that have been fighting (unsuccessfully) to maintain some semblance of orthodoxy in the denomination. NAPARC has the members and the mission. PCUSA has the money and, to a degree, institutional leverage. Disclaimer: I'm not suggesting NAPARC abandon doctrinal orthodoxy one bit to integrate PCUSA. I'm saying I think there needs to be a serious discussion about whether whole denominations can survive the passing of the boomer generation that have basically 0 substantial disagreements between themselves, URC, and OPC.

@jk_rowling @LudicrousMonica Would love to see a future HBO series explore other parts of the Hogwarts timeline - maybe the four founders and how they began Hogwarts?
English
@LudicrousMonica It's going to be incredible. I'm so happy with it.

Hey @jk_rowling The trailer for the new Harry Potter looks bloody marvellous. I cannot wait, and as it seems to me, neither can the rest of the world❤️🪄

@dandarling @HowardQDavis We need to figure out higher education cost. Unless that irrational cost comes down then many will point students away from college
English
College isn't for everyone, to be sure. But a good college education is more than mere credential for the place you get your paycheck. It's formation, it's curated learning from the best in their field, it's develping habits that stick with you for a lifetime. It's learning how to learn. It's a bridge from adolescence to adulthood.

Frodo leaving the Shire is one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking endings in all of literature. He won. The Ring was destroyed. The Shire was saved. And he couldn't stay.
Not because he didn't want to. But because the journey cost him more than anyone around him could see. He carried the weight of the world's evil on his body and soul, and even though the Ring was gone, the scars weren't.
That's Tolkien writing the truest thing he ever wrote: some suffering in this life cannot be healed in this life. There are wounds - spiritual, physical, emotional - that only eternity can restore.
Frodo’s departure isn’t a sad ending, it’s the hope of heaven for someone who gave everything and was broken by it. It's about the promise that what was broken will be made whole. Just not here. And not yet.

@jfhooker3 @CovenantCollege Maybe it’s like a metaphor for life, or something…
English
Just one of many ways @CovenantCollege is looking out for students’ safety: a sign saying not to dive…as though the wood decking that filled in the pool years ago wasn’t clear enough. So caring!

How do wrestling fans afford stuff like this?

The Cody Rhodes bus tour over WWE WrestleMania 42 weekend, priced at $9,950 per person, has sold out.

RHB: “Hey! We are selling Puritan works for hundreds of dollars!”
Me: “I can find these same works online for free.”
English
Back in my day, things at the dollar store only cost a dollar.

A church that preaches and professes grace must practice and extend grace in the life and society of the church. Peace and purity are the goals, but unrealistic expectations about the degree to which either can be attained in this life will kill contentment and lead to despair.

As someone currently shopping for a first home, I sure am glad there's a clear plan for what we're hoping to accomplish in Iran, or else this might be irritating. There's a plan, right?

One of the best quotes from one of America's best writers.

“Practice any art… no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what's inside you, to make your soul grow.” - McKellen reciting Vonnegut

Seems like a good time to recommend the DASA Committee’s work on abuse.

Seems like a good time to recommend this helpful, accessible book on spiritual abuse by @michaeljkruger. All church leadership teams, presbyteries, etc. need to read this book.
