You're either compounding daily or depreciating daily, nothing is really standing still. Even if it may take years to see it clearly.

Jesus was EXTREMELY gentle with sinners. And he was EXTREMELY firm with people who wore religious language without transformation.

My God will make all things new He will wipe away all tears He will make sense of the evil we see in this world. May God comfort the families of the victims of the recent killings. God have mercy.

@lugiboss I didn’t have a conversation with you about politics so not sure why any record needs to be kept about your support for Atiku. Not my business, not my point. Have a great month too!

Alright Sir. More Grace. For the record, I am an Atiku boy...😉 Have a great month ahead of you Bro.

Eli DID not campaign for the evil of his sons. Eli EXPLICITLY rebuked them. It’s recorded in scriptures. Samuel saw that. It’s recorded in his book. I haven’t judged any man of God in my conversation with you, I haven’t casted any aspersions, neither have I talked down on the move of God anywhere - so you are bearing false witness - but at the same time, one of Samuel’s ‘legal and common sense’ reasons for continuing to follow Eli can be safely inferred to be Eli’s explicit rebuke of his kids. Eli didn’t stand with evil. That’s what your Bible says. Don’t ignore it because you want to threaten someone.

I am not interpreting scriptures. I am telling you not to use Eli and Samuel’s story the way Bible doesn’t. Is fidelity to Bible interpretation not what you are taught week in week out? Eli never campaigned loudly for the evil his sons perpetrated. God is not mocked. I have no business with you other than to tell you, don’t threaten other young people with your bad interpretation of scriptures. And repent. You do owe her an apology.

God is not mocked. No where did Eli endorse the actions of his sons. Read 1st Samuel.2:23-24. Enough of wanting to eat your cake and have it. You folks are not the author and finisher of God’s plan in a person’s life. It’s spiritual pride.

The quietness of the day after Good Friday and the day before Resurrection Sunday is a powerful reminder that in the still places of our lives, when it might seem that God is not doing anything for our good, God is very much at work to bless us and glorify his name.

NASA released the Artemis II astronauts’ first downlinked images, 1.5 days into the first astronaut moonshot in more than half a century . “It was the most spectacular moment, and it paused all four of us in our tracks,” commander Reid Wiseman said. wapo.st/4sQinIV

The older you get, the more you realize luck is mostly exposure. If you sit in the same place, have the same routine, talking to the same people, nothing new really happens. You have to tackle the world to win. Travel more. Talk to people. Try a breakfast spot. Post on social media. Start a side hustle or a hobby. The world rewards motion. You don't find opportunity sitting still.

See, from his head, his hands, his feet, sorrow and love flow mingled down. Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown? —Isaac Watts

“Blessed be his glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen and Amen!” Psalm 72:19 He fills the world with his radiant beauty. We fill our mouths with heartfelt praises. Yes. And yes.

The full Newman quote is below: “Thus in the Cross, and Him who hung upon it, all things meet; all things subserve it, all things need it. It is their centre and their interpretation. For He was lifted up upon it, that He might draw all men and all things unto Him.”

Prayer is the conversation between you and God. Meditation is thinking on God's words in Scripture that can often lead to prayer.

“Had he died in a more merciful, less deliberately dehumanising way, it would not be possible to see in his death the sum of all horrors.” @flemingrut on the theological implications of the fact that Jesus was not just executed, but crucified.

If Jesus was raised from the dead, then everything is going to be alright. —@TimKellerNYC

There is no school that forms a Christian like sorrow and trial. What we often try to avoid is what God most often uses to teach us. In seasons of ease we can remain shallow, but in suffering we are forced to face what we truly believe. Our strength is exposed as weakness, and our confidence in self begins to break. That is where real learning begins. “Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance” (James 1:2-3). Trials are not random interruptions. They are purposeful dealings of God. They humble us, correct us, and drive us back to Him. What we learn there cannot be learned in comfort. “Before I was afflicted I went astray, But now I keep Your word” (Psalm 119:67). Affliction has a way of bringing clarity that prosperity never can. Even suffering itself becomes a means of deeper knowledge. Not just about truth, but about God. “And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope” (Romans 5:3-4). These are not theoretical lessons. They are formed in real struggle. So sorrow and trial are not wasted seasons. They are classrooms. Hard ones, but necessary ones. And what is learned there stays, because it is learned under the hand of God Himself.

On this Good Friday and Easter weekend, always remember: The smoke of the Old Testament sacrifices always blows in the direction of Calvary.

@tinobobotweets So so painful. Amen!

This thing is actually paining me But God will judge the depth of wickedness.
