say hello to the newest owner of my heart 🥰❤️

Good Friday is not just a story of suffering, it is the divine exchange. Jesus took our sin so we could receive His righteousness. He carried our pain so we could walk in peace. Because of Him, we are no longer bound by sin, but invited into a life of freedom, holiness, and restored relationship with God. Today, we remember: His sacrifice was the price, and our freedom is the promise. ✝️

Posting this everywhere for the next 3 weeks 😊 thank you for supporting boys volleyball in Indiana!! app.schoolfundr.org/fund/mooresvil…

College football's most decorated head coach Nick Saban spoke at the White House on Friday at a college sports roundtable hosted by President Trump. Saban called on lawmakers to fix issues he has seen at the collegiate level, where Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals have turned the focus away from education. "How much does anybody talk about getting an education anymore? Nobody talks about it at all, which is the most important thing any of these student athletes can do in terms of enhancing their future."

This is probably the best answer I've ever heard to the question, "Why did God create evil?" A professor at the university asked his students the following question: “Everything that exists was created by God?” One student bravely answered: “Yes, it was created by God.” The professor asked : “If God created everything, then God created evil, since it exists. And according to the principle that our deeds define ourselves, then God is evil.” The student became silent after hearing such an answer. The professor was very pleased with himself. He boasted to students for proving once again that faith in God is a myth. Another student raised his hand and said: “Can I ask you a question, professor?” "Of course," replied the professor. “Professor, is cold a thing?” “What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you ever been cold?” Students laughed at the young man's question. The young man answered: “Actually, sir, cold doesn't exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is actually the absence of heat. A person or object can be studied on whether it has or transmits energy. Absolute zero (-460 degrees Fahrenheit) is a complete absence of heat. All matter becomes inert and unable to react at this temperature. Cold does not exist. We created this word to describe what we feel in the absence of heat.” The student continued: “Professor, does darkness exist?” “Of course it exists.” said the professor. “You're wrong again, sir. Darkness also does not exist. Darkness is actually the absence of light. We can study the light but not the darkness. We can use Newton's prism to spread white light across multiple colors and explore the different wavelengths of each color. You can't measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into the world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you tell how dark a certain space is? You measure how much light is presented. Isn't it so? Darkness is a term man uses to describe what happens in the absence of light.” In the end, the young man asked the professor: “Sir, does evil exist?” This time it was uncertain, the professor answered: “Of course, as I said before. We see him every day. Cruelty, numerous crimes and violence throughout the world. These examples are nothing but a manifestation of evil.” To this, the student answered: “Evil does not exist, sir, or at least it does not exist for itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is like darkness and cold—a man-made word to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is not faith or love, which exist as light and warmth. Evil is the result of the absence of Divine love in the human heart. It’s the kind of cold that comes when there is no heat, or the kind of darkness that comes when there’s no light.” 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

Toy Story 5 is going to be a gut punch to modern parenting, where children are just given tablets, which leads to technology addiction, anxiety, depression, sleep disruption, & self-esteem issues… Culture needs this movie. Can’t wait to watch.

The more science pushes, the more the glory of God is revealed!

It was great to be back in Church today. When I arrived they had bracelets on the seats saying “Psalm 46:10–God’s Got This!” It was very timely for me as I’m facing some life challenges and trying to determine how I can have the best impact for God’s Kingdom. This reminded me that rather than worry I just need to trust God🙏🏽

For nine months, my wife Brooklyn carried our baby boy knowing he was dying. Three months in, they told us he had severe hydrocephalus. Too much fluid crushing his brain. "Off the charts bad," the specialists at Cincinnati Children's said. So extreme they stopped measuring because it didn't matter anymore. The MRIs were sickening to look at. They said over 90% chance he'd either die right after birth or survive with such severe brain damage that any quality of life was impossible. We had meetings about breathing tubes. About when to remove life support. About letting our son "pass peacefully." Brooklyn moved to Cincinnati, lived in a hotel near the hospital in case she went into labor. I drove back and forth, working, trying to hold our family together while planning our baby's funeral. On July 8th, fifteen minutes before her C-section, we had another meeting about the breathing tube. About when we'd need to remove it and let him go to Heaven. Then Charlie came out crying. The sweetest sound I've ever heard. He stayed in intensive care until yesterday. Now he's home, doing everything babies do. Normal. Beautiful. The doctors have no medical explanation. His brain somehow cleared the blockage on its own, something they've never seen in a case this severe. Nurses with decades of experience kept saying "miracle" and "divine intervention." Thousands of people were praying for us. Friends, family, strangers, people we'd never met. I'm practical, I believe in science, but I know God was involved in this. I give Him all the credit. During those endless nights in Cincinnati, I started woodworking in the hotel parking lot just to keep my hands busy, to stop my mind from breaking. Made small toys hoping one day Charlie might hold them. Listed a few things on the Tedooo app where I'd been selling my work, and strangers started buying pieces they didn't need, sending messages saying they were praying for our son. That community held me when I couldn't stand. Charlie's here. He's alive. Prayer is real, and miracles still happen. By Amanda Cain

This is what humility in the Lord looks like. God bless this man.

“I believe God called me to be a coach, and I listened to Him. And I thank Him” - Seattle Seahawks HC Mike McDonald after winning the Super Bowl

Found in the Bible 365 times. God is telling us something. We should probably listen.

This is chilling. World’s largest prayer app just released a video with Actor @JonathanRoumie reciting Scripture, highlighting how God created you in the womb “The Super Bowl commercial we would’ve ran this year” ✝️

We’re coming to the climax of Super Bowl week and once again Sports Spectrum has done a great job of documenting how Jesus has impacted many of these players and coaches who are involved in the game. Thank you for sharing these stories.

With a week to reflect, I’m convinced this was the greatest moment in sports history. A 2-star recruit leads the worst program ever to a national championship, beats his hometown team that wouldn’t let him walk on, and finishes it by running over the same guy who knocked him out the year before, with his mother battling MS watching from the stands. If it was a Disney movie, you’d say it was too much.

We all need God.

I'll never forget watching this live. The @NFL denied @TimTebow from putting 3:16 on his face, then he throws for 316 yards with 31.6 yards per completion in a prime time playoff game. God works in mysterious (and obvious) ways.

Before exiting the post-game press conference, Germie Bernard had one last thing he wanted to say: “I just want to give glory to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for allowing us to have this opportunity, for allowing this team to be here together in California, to enjoy this moment, even tho it didn’t go the way we wanted — there’s still a lot to be grateful for…”

Science says we need at least 4 basic elements to survive: Water Air Food Light And look what the Bible tells us about Jesus: I am the living water. I am the breath of life. I am the bread of life. I am the light of the world. Science was right, we need Jesus to live.

POWERFUL: #Ravens legendary RB Derrick Henry gave all GLORY TO JESUS CHRIST after his historic performance. “I just want to give thanks to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. All our strength, you know, comes from him” Beautiful message from Henry. 🙏🙏🙏

Christ is moving on Earth! ❤️ Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord & my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me” Luke 1:46-48
