Circumcised Heart ✝️

Man becomes "right wing" Man hates everything associated with being "left wing" The left wing is proudly atheist The right wing man then decides that he is "spiritual and believes God exists" Because he doesn't put his trust in Jesus his Lord he ends up in hell with LW man

@samuel_leeds Awesome mate!! God bless your generosity

I'm buying a church. I’ve made a cash offer of £225,000 to purchase this church, which was about to close and be sold off to developers. I'm fed up with driving past all these churches in the UK that used to thrive, support the community, and feed the homeless. Now, just look at these beautiful church buildings. So many are boarded up, closed down, with developers queueing up to profit from converting them into flats. I simply can't accept that a building built to glorify Jesus for generations can be turned into something solely for profit. So I've placed an offer on a church in my hometown. My plan is to buy it and offer it completely free of charge, with zero rent, to a church willing to worship Jesus here and serve others. What do you think of this idea?

@GrahamStephan Need to set a personal materiality threshold. What is the price point you need to stop, think and ask yourself if you are being wise? For some it is $5, for some it is $500.

I spent years obsessing over making coffee at home for 20 cents. I messed up. For the last decade, my brand was built on "Optimizing Everything." • Finding the cheapest deal by finding coupon codes. • Buying a duplex and renting out one side. • DIY-ing repairs to "pay myself" $150/hr. It worked. These habits made me a millionaire. But then, they started to make me miserable. Here's the paradox with building wealth: The habits required to GET wealthy can be the exact opposite of what it takes to ENJOY that wealth – and be happy. When you're 20, you probably should say "Yes" to everything. You should pinch pennies. You are playing a Level 1 game. But I kept playing by Level 1 rules even after reaching Level 10. And this April, I got a wake-up call. The market dropped 25% on tariff news. I did the math: My portfolio fluctuated more in 6 hours of market volatility than I had saved in years of skipping Starbucks. All that stress and mental bandwidth, all of that optimization counted for nothing. It was a sign to step back. I came across a quote by Thoreau that hit me: "The cost of a thing is the amount of LIFE you exchange for it." I felt like I was trading my life for pennies instead of creating memories. So, I’m changing. This year has been about rethinking how I work and moving toward a healthier way of building wealth that takes joy and peace of mind into account. I went much deeper in my newsletter today. It's the most personal piece I’ve ever published, and in it I talk about the 4-step approach I’m using in 2026 to fix my relationship with money. If you feel like you're grinding but not living, give it a read. I'll drop the link in the comments in a bit.

@Alexeikhru53336 @DesireeAmerica4 How do you make a profit? $170 a week is nothing considering what it probably cost to build.

This isn’t new. I use be an Assistant Manager at an extended stay hotel in Boston. We only rented rooms out by the week or Month. We had small kitchens with a 2 burner stove microwave and medium refrigerator. Starting at $169.99 a week I worked there 3 years and had families that stayed there the entire time I worked there one of the guests a elderly gentleman was there for 5 years when I started working there and stayed the entire 3 years I was there. One couple had 2 kids and had a double room. To me it’s perfect for a single person or a couple without kids. I wouldn’t make it a long term thing if I had kids living with me. Some of the people that stayed in those hotels are not the best people to have around children. I can write a complete book series about the things I seen and heard while I worked there. At least 1 issue a day lol.

Forget "Van Life." Welcome to "Hotel Life." ​I’m seeing this more and more: families checking into extended-stay hotels for months at a time because it’s cheaper than an apartment. This couple locked in a 6-month stay for $8k. ​For that price, they get a roof, a shower, and zero landlord drama. No flexibility, small space, but total freedom from lease traps. ​It’s dystopian and genius at the same time. We have an entire class of people who are "homeless" on paper but living indoors because the system failed them.

@uncledoomer Yes you are right you can probably make equivalent ~1k a week in a portfolio, but then when she dies there is no 'principal' left for her estate. So, $1k a week with a nest egg behind it is not equal to $1k a month from an annuity you can't cash out.

her average lifespan is gonna be 81.1 years 61.1 years of weekly $1k payments is about $3.2 million currently, a medium risk income portfolio with weekly disbursement adjusted for inflation would give her around $500-$750/week i see nothing wrong with choosing the $1k/week

@I_Madcap Every long race i need to pee about ~5-10kms in. I post my watch time not my chip time (~2 mins faster), sue me

So there is this Instagram account called Official Unofficial Time which is auditing running influencers timings. I am having so much fun following them 😄

@drantbradley Agreed. In fact, I think churches / elders have a responsibility to tap on the shoulder the next generation who have the requirements to be a pastor. If you think you have the character to be a pastor and no one has told you this, you are not being 'called'.

I agree with this 100%. Also, no where in the Bible does it communicate that any Christian is “called” to nearly anything other than holiness. You are not “called” to a 9-5 job, regardless of what it is. There’s no need to justify your preferences/hopes/dreams with God-talk.

The whole Catholic reading calendar is designed to present the bible without salvation by faith. Look at Romans. Nothing between Ch1:8-Ch3:20. They exclude these 2 verses in Ch3 particularly as well... The antitode to Catholicism is to abide in the words of Jesus.

@TheMagaHulk We have the witness and true testimony of the commissioned apostles who saw the resurrection. We don't need to see it to believe. Thomas was rebuked by the Lord Jesus for not believing when he hadn't yet seen. This question was light hearted

"If you could witness ONE Biblical event, what would it be?" The Babylon Bee guy doesn't pick Jesus' Resurrection.

@jakerattlesnk Jubilee hates Christians. Don't be surprised that the world who hate Jesus don't give Christians what they want. Watch the episode where they did the christians vs secret atheists. They wiped any footage with any mention of the gospel.

Of all the options, Jubilee chose a woman to debate on the Conservative Christian side. The irony.

@_mattwelter Are you in fellowship with the God that created the universe and reigns over all things? Or are you in active rebellion against Him. Start reading the book of John in the bible and get familiar with the Lord Jesus, who died so that you might live. biblegateway.com/passage/?searc…

i have... - an amazing girlfriend - making ~$450k this year - can work anywhere / anytime - live in a house w/ a pool yet i have anxiety every damn day, tight chest, hard to take a deep breaths, intrusive thoughts, always feeling not enough, can never relax what went wrong

One side of the aisle is responsible for the mass slaughter of 60 million babies. One side wants to castrate children. One side wants to destroy the family and the church. I just fundamentally reject any claim that there is any moral equivalence between the “radicals” on the right and those on the left. Get back to me when these right wing “radicals” actively fund and facilitate the mass execution of babies, and then we can talk about moral equivalence. Yes I will unite with anyone to oppose this force.

The church is to be the pillar and buttress of the truth: That Jesus Christ died to save sinners. Wicked leaders within the church that are not appointed according to God's law, will lead millions away from the truth. Resign and repent, Sarah Mullally.

I voted yes by the way. It is not pursuing what God calls good and holy, and it is something that causes many to stumble. Some people's conscious might be ok with it, but i'd caution against.

"And who is my neighbour?" Whilst this might not technically be a sin, we are told "You shall be holy, for I am holy.” Don't tip-toe up to the line of whats sin and what isn't. But seek to be above reproach. Let no one even be able to accuse you of sinning, even if you don't!

@DeTocqueville14 @unusual_whales Not how this works. If the estate has debt that surpassess assets, you leave nothing, not a debt bondage to your 'beneficiaries'

@unusual_whales Their parents will leave them nothing, and the government will leave them with over $500,000 per person in unpayable debt

"Millennials and Gen Z are expecting an average inheritance of $106,000 per person," per FORTUNE

@thedulab It's the fee you pay to not live under Sharia law

@ShawnMathis1972 The church is to be the pillar and buttress of the truth- we hold the gospel out to the world. So it is extremely critical that we have men who are above reproach, showcasing godliness in all realms of life, and these men alone who lead our churches.

@ShawnMathis1972 Also a weak view just generally of what an elder or teacher is to be like. It's not just your gender, in fact 99.9% of the men on this earth are not of the right 1 Tim 3 qualifications to preach and lead, just like the 100% of women are not.

The view that women are equipped to be pastors, elders, etc. in so-called "conservative" or "confessional" circles is often based upon the implicit view that God's restriction of those offices is not based upon the nature of the case. Rather, they seem to think it as willy-nilly given the assumption that women & men only differ by "plumbing."

@trad_west_ bible has left the chat

Heaven exists. Hell exists. But in between them there is Purgatory, a place of purification, redemptive suffering and hope. And the souls in there NEED our help. What the Church teaches about Purgatory and how YOU can help free the souls who are in it - a 🧵✝️

@thompsrus Here are some of their best as someone listening to them since 2015: It was finished upon that cross Yet not I but through Christ in me Only a Holy God His glory and my good God is for us Ancient of Days Once for All Washed by the blood

If you’re not familiar with CityAlight, you should give them a listen. They’ve written some of the most beautiful, theologically-rich, and singable modern hymns of this generation. You’ll be blessed.
