That subtle form of prosperity thinking turns prayer into negotiation, not submission. It reframes God as the responder and us as the evaluator. Are we submitting—or accusing? #Faith #Prayer

@virgilwalker I am sounding it and have been for over 20 years. theaddictionconnection.org Jesus is the answer for sinful addictive heart choices!

The smell of weed is everywhere. It's at the grocery store, in the drive-thru, and the gas pump. They didn’t just legalize a drug. They normalized sedation. Now a generation is high, passive, and hollowed out— And nobody is sounding the alarm. So, I will ⏰.

This is a theological hot mess: Word-Faithers, a Roman Catholic, an atheist, and some who should know better than to unite with them as fellow "believers."

“to grant to those who mourn in Zion— to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord…” bible.com/bible/59/isa.6…

My two cents on Swift. Unsaved in college, I loved Taylor Swift. I knew every word to Red and all the other albums too. Her music is intoxicating bc she’s done a very good job capturing worldly relationships and hookup culture. Now, as a believer– I stay far away from it. Why? Because I will like some of it. It will take my mind places that it shouldn’t go. There will be new lyrics in my head with tunes I can’t shut off with unedifying words on my lips. It’s a net negative all the way around. In no way would it strengthen my walk with the Lord, and that’s the lens in which we should view all things. ”Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.“ Philippians 4:8-9

There’s a lot of things I love about my life, but having this girl as my daughter is one of my very favorites.

Through Charles Darwin’s work, he provided a supposed scientific justification for a very particular kind of racism. He wrote some despicable things in his book, The Descent of Man, that led to all kinds of horrific atrocities. For instance, Darwin considered the Australian Aboriginal people as basically the "missing links" in human evolution, as they were supposedly closer to the claimed ape-like ancestor. Hitler and Margaret Sanger adopted Darwins' ideas regard the supposed evolution of man which provided a foundation for the the murder of tens of millions of human beings through the Holocaust and abortion (eg: Planned Parenthood which Sanger founded). Watch this short video clip by @AiG speaker Avery as she quotes Darwin and shows the link to racism.
