The original system dismantler is Jesus Christ. His work on the cross disrupts all centralized religious notions that say, “You have to worship here or there!” or “You have to submit to an institutional authority to access Papa God.” ❤️🙏 ✝️ #ThinkOnTheseThings

Actually, “well stories” are a literary trope in the OT where “guy meets girl.” And depending on “how” the guy responds reveals something about his character. Look them all up. She was definitely flirting with Him… no doubt. The author wants his audience to understand that. - Jesus wants to be alone at the well - wells are a sign of virility - the deeper the well, the bigger the family - she asks Jesus if He is “greater” than Jacob - she freely admits she is available But Jesus, true to the narrative motif, reveals one of the GREATEST truths found in the NT… talking to just ONE person. He didn’t save it for the masses, rather, Christ spoke about the true nature of true worship… and wouldn’t you know, He got the girl! I think when those first original audiences heard the beginning of this story (where Christ sent His disciples away so he could be alone at a well), they knew the storyline and anticipated how Jesus would navigate through this. The mark of a truly great storyteller is to engage the audience in something familiar, but tell the story in such a way that it stands uniquely on its own.

Episcopal pastor says Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well were FLIRTING, because Jesus' use of the term 'Living Water' is actually a double entendre and a 'first century euphemism for 'SEMEN.'

Good reminder when asking @Grok about stuff.

@elonmusk I’d love to pick your brain regarding that Creator you mentioned to Katie Miller. I think that would be a really cool conversation.

@SilentlySirs I thought President Trump always talked BIG to foreign nations who would dare harm any American? @POTUS

🇺🇸🇮🇱 A U.S. Senator just dropped a political nuclear bomb: Israel has abducted, imprisoned, and abused a 16-year-old American child for nine months straight — no trial, no charges, no lawyer, nothing. A minor. An American citizen. And Washington? Billions in aid… and total silence. Think about what this really means: The U.S. government knows a foreign state is torturing an American kid — and still signs the checks. If any other country did this, America would be threatening sanctions by morning and airstrikes by evening. But because the perpetrator is “Israel”… the kidnapping of an American teenager becomes a “non-issue.” This isn’t foreign policy. This is national humiliation. And if Israel thinks Americans won’t react… they’re in for a rude awakening.

@THEREALESMITTY @TrustTrost ‼️ 🤦‍♂️ 🤬

Must-see video: This angle tells more of the story from the on-the-field brawl that broke out in a high school football game Friday night in Georgia. Today, the Georgia High School Association suspended 39 members of the Gainesville football team for “violating sportsmanship and sideline control bylaws, including players leaving the bench area during the incident.” Gainesville Supt. Jeremy Williams said the school will be appealing the decision on Tuesday. “While we typically do not condone this type of behavior, we will not sit back and watch our teammates be assaulted by ripping off helmets, punching, and barreling over a helmet-less player,” Williams said. “The large majority of our team entered the field with the intent to separate and resolve the incident, not escalate. “Every true team would do the same. It’s disappointing that a hard-line interpretation of the rule was applied, and we will be appealing.” When you see the angle of this video, it’s hard to disagree with Supt. Williams. This is not a situation any adult school leader wants to be associated with, but we all know any team - any level - would’ve helped their teammates out. Any parent, any friend, any leader would’ve done the same if their family member, friend or employee was attacked. There needs to be some common sense here, because rules are made as guidelines - not as hard strict laws in the #GameOfLife. If they were, we wouldn’t have people who have been arrested 10, 15, 20or 30 times walking the streets in some cities committing even more crimes. *Thank you to the contact for passing this video along. #MoreThanJUSTGames

Smashing beats on my 1996 shit!

@THEREALESMITTY @TrustTrost Any kind of “zero-tolerance policy” approach is egregious enough. But this is absolutely ridiculous!

@TrustTrost what happenned to the Gainesville football players was an atrocity and the GA High School Association better get it right!!!

Big brother meets little brother for the first time

@JB_Durham80 Surely this is a parody account. If not… Find an independent fundamental Baptist church, bruh…. You’ll fit right in.

I was fired, as a pastor, on Sunday. (Yes, I was fired last year, on the Lord’s Day, too. Baptists are big on ‘works of necessity’ like ‘muzzling an ox in the ditch.’) In the past five years, as a pastor, I’ve been fired from three churches, and resigned from a fourth amidst calls for my termination. In every case, I was fired for upsetting the “church ladies” (often, of both sexes). Time and again, these ladies have pressed their husbands, deacons, and elders to put me under discipline; to force me into a struggle session where I must apologize for offending them, grovel for a second chance, and agree to all kinds of restrictions on what I can say and do. Once I refuse these sinful, controlling demands, they inevitably demand my head on a platter…and the ‘church ladies’ ALWAYS get what they want. I’m seeing a lot of solid discussion, right now, addressing the epidemic of cucked church leaders who put good men under church discipline for fake “sin,” while ignoring the real sins of women, all in an effort to keep the ‘church ladies’ happy. As a pastor, I represent the other side of this equation. What we must understand is that, at present, there is virtually NO PLACE in evangelicalism for ANY uncucked man, whether he be a pastor or a parishioner. I can just about count, on my twenty fingers and toes, the number of exceptions that I’m personally familiar with. Regarding my most recent pastorate, which began in January. I was opposed, from week one, by one elder, and his wife. They voted for me to come, and then turned around and passive-aggressively protested me for six straight months, on account of reading some internet slander about me. They didn’t invite us into their home once in six months. We had them in our home multiple times. They treated my wife like she had leprosy, and wouldn’t even look at me while I preached. When I confronted him, he denied having any issue. When I confronted him a second time, he slandered me to the entire church and destroyed my reputation before he left. Others left with him, and he left me to preach to scowls and frowns for the past four months. He slandered me around town, too, to the point that I was even denied pulpit supply by a sister church up the street. The remaining elder was in my corner…until I offended his wife. She had a nasty habit of rudely interrupting her husband and angrily correcting him in public. On one occasion, he and I were discussing a matter, when she barged in uninvited, and cut him off mid-sentence. Rather than redirect my attention to her, I kept my attention on my co-elder, waiting for him to finish his thoughts. I wasn’t rude about. Just principled. I showed him the due respect his own wife refused to show him. She became irate, and a week later, he demanded I apologize to his wife. Because they’re my parents’ age, I offered an explanation, and gentle correction, but no apology. I thought the matter was closed. Little did I know, it was simmering in both their hearts, for several months. Fast forward to two weeks ago; another church lady discovered I had invited a small group of (3) men to my house, as a personal outreach, where we enjoyed some beer and cigars while talking shop (discipleship). This was not a church event. It was not promoted on the church website or Facebook page. It was something I was doing on my own time, on my own dime, and with the other elder’s permission. In fact, he expressly asked me to, “keep it separate from the church.” Which I did. This disgruntled elder and his wife seized on this moment, calling an urgent members’ meeting where all the church ladies could come together to voice their “concerns”: “Why were no women invited?” “Was this an ‘anti-female’ meeting?” “Who gave you permission to have this men’s meeting in your home?” “You can’t have beer and cigars in the parsonage…it’s church property.” The other elder knew I enjoyed the occasional beer and cigar, and had no issue with it. (He and his wife drink wine, routinely.) Rather than defend me and help me keep my job, this vindictive elder and his wife used this proxy issue to turn the entire church against me and get me fired. They’ve given us 30 days to vacate the parsonage, while taking away the income we need to qualify for renting or buying a home. Not being content to take away our income and housing. They went after our marriage, as well. Days before I was fired, this elder’s wife sent my wife a long text message which slandered me and sought to convince my wife she’s in an abusive marriage and should seek help. I don’t use the word lightly, but my wife is genuinely traumatized. She is heartbroken. She’s been battling cancer and chronic illness. The stress of being kicked to the curb again, by “church family,” has triggered a serious case of shingles in her face, neck, and head. Please pray that it doesn’t spread to her eyes, which can cause blindness. For ten months straight, I tried everything to revitalize this declining church; neighborhood visitation, social media ads, single’s mixers, fellowship meals, branding, new signs, etc. I didn’t miss a single Sunday in the pulpit, including while my wife spent a week in the hospital for a difficult surgery. The one thing that got any traction was reaching out to men with a vision for an uncucked church. As it turns out, that was the one thing that I wasn’t allowed to do. In just a couple of weeks of spreading the word, I had about fifteen men interested in participating in my men’s fellowship. I sold my shotgun to pay for the beer and cigars. This past Saturday, two of those men called me to say they were bringing their families to join us for Sunday worship. Sadly, I had to tell them that my church was voting to fire me on Sunday. So, instead, we all went, together, to a different church where God’s Word, and not the church ladies, reign supreme. Naturally, there’s a lot more to this saga. I intend to give a full account of everything that transpired, but first, I’ve got to go find a place to live and start earning an income. I have made a vow to my wife that I will never again be dependent on a pay check from a church that is controlled by the sinful passions of unruly women. By my estimate, that’s most churches. I want to issue a call to young men, today – Do not give your strength to churches ruled over by cucked men and clucking hens. They will despise you for your strength and seek to castrate you. If you refuse to play ball, they’ll come for reputation, your marriage and family. Find a godly church with godly pastors who have proven to be unflinching in the face of feminism, and let’s change the game.

I think with the new helmets these days, and with the jerseys being practically sleeveless, there’s so much “lost in translation” when trying to pull off any kind of throwback uni. I think the gesture is honorable, so maybe of there were another component to this, let’s say, like painting the end zones to spell “Like A Champion” with Bud’s iconic silhouette… Mix it up a little, I don’t know… 🤷‍♂️

Throwbacks on Saturday! Sooner fans, rate these uniforms on a scale of 1-10.
