Good Shepherd congregant took copious notes on today's teaching and definitely noted the @dawestheband quote embedded therein.

Good morning. "Praise the Lord. Blessed are those who fear the Lord, who find delight in his commands." Psalm 112:1 Amen.

@colinsmo Exhibit A: the entire United Methodist denomination.

Too often libs would rather see their institution die than see it succeed under conservative leadership.

@DrCurtisFreeman In the midst of the false premises & faulty interpretations, there's this gem -- "By now, it is no secret that the WCA functions as a Methodist partner to the Institute on Religion and Democracy." -- which refers to a shuttered entity (WCA) as if it's still operating.

I witnessed the fall of the SBC from churches attuned to the gospel and the modern world to an anti-modern and fundamentalist sect. The story Will Willimon tells of a Methodist congregation disaffiliating from the Church is tragically familiar. christiancentury.org/books/heist-bu…

@aaronsibarium .@juliedavis0628

NEW: In a mandatory anti-racism class, Penn State told 1L law students they must "acknowledge the reality of systemic racism" and "dismantle systems that racialize, subordinate, and oppress." One student withdrew from the law school over the class. We obtained shocking audio.🧵

@4everRFfan I don't think so. Both have remarkably short memories & so rivalry had many twists. The best twist, of course, is 2017 and beyond.

Do you think that if Roger Federer had beaten Rafa Nadal that day, their rivalry might have turned in favor of the Swiss player? 🇨🇭💥🇪🇸

@scottdaves232 @BraxtonWinston And @CMPD whom he falsely blamed.

@BraxtonWinston Have you apologized to the family of Justin Carr yet? He was killed during the riots you led. The riots that were based on a lie.

My suggestion on who should be the next Mayor of the City of Charlotte.

Come Alive Daily for Matthew 26:17-35 where Jesus' absurd plan actually comes to pass: mailchi.mp/0be620434904/c… @jonell_shelby @jhaskinscabrera

Jonathan Haidt had a sharp take on campus protests on The Daily Show: The shouting down of speakers, the “speech is violence” mindset, the fragility — it all kicked in around 2014 with Gen Z. These kids grew up without an antifragile childhood, got way too much therapy, and now treat every uncomfortable idea like trauma. He gave the example of a Harvard student in the encampments basically saying: “If Harvard cares so much about my mental health, why won’t they just divest?” This shift from debating ideas to demanding emotional safety has changed campus culture in troubling ways. As Thomas Sowell often reminds us, there are no solutions, only trade-offs — and prioritizing feelings over truth and resilience is a dangerous one. What do you think — is framing disagreement as a mental health threat helping students, or is it making them more fragile in the long run?

Your breakthrough begins with your consistency.

Come Alive Daily for Matthew 26:1-16 with a little "To God Be The Glory" thrown in for good measure: mailchi.mp/e5f454a954fe/c… @jonell_shelby @jhaskinscabrera

@a226l9 @Mustachema37891 @RazOlsRF Agreed.

@Mustachema37891 @TalbotDavis @RazOlsRF Pete has a better serve than Fed. Pete was a servebot, without the built of a servebot.

The perfect tennis player according to me! Tell me yours 🎾👀

@mxngosorbet @christianscourt youtube.com/watch?v=POnNDb…

@TalbotDavis @christianscourt Can i ask if that changes anything

idk how she does it

Our Beliefs At Good Shepherd Church Did you know the church has a Statement Of Faith? As we study the letter to Titus during this chapter in the church's life, treasuring the riches of doctrine is more vital than ever. I'm grateful for the clarity this statement brings us as a now non-denominational church. @RNS

@kamilarmc @christianscourt For sure that's the reason. I think it's also problematic. I believe the first to do it this way since Berasategui.

@TalbotDavis @christianscourt Her grip is very extreme, so is just a slight adjustment and she is set for holding continental for the backhand.

@RNS You didn't bury the lede, you just misdiagnosed it. The truth is that the UMC didn't schism over differing interpretations. The UMC elites, of which Dr. Weems is part, invented a new religion. Those who departed align with historic and global orthodoxy.

(RNS) — If the United Methodist Church wants to reach younger, more ethnically diverse people, it must focus on densely populated urban areas, suggests researcher Lovett Weems Jr. religionnews.com/2026/05/07/two…
