@TheresaArueyin1 There’s a message in shaking the snake off as well. We walk around with that thing latched on.

Paul had just survived a shipwreck. As he gathered sticks to keep the fire burning, a venomous snake, driven out by the heat, fastened onto his hand. The islanders saw it and immediately reached a verdict: "This man must be a murderer. He escaped the sea, but justice won't let him live." They expected him to swell up and die. Instead, Paul shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no harm. Then something astonishing happened. The same people who condemned him changed their minds and declared he was a god. The story isn't about Paul's greatness. It's about how quickly people can misjudge what they don't understand. One moment they'll label you. The next moment they'll admire you. Don't let people's opinions become the measure of your identity. Their verdict can change overnight, but God's purpose for your life does not.

Decent technique 😂😂😂

@DavidFischer The disciples asked Jesus, what sin has this man committed or his parents committed that he be blind? Jesus says it’s not so, but that the works of God be made manifest. It’s all to God’s glory. John 9:1-3

If God is truly all-loving and all-powerful, why does He seem to bless some people with wealth, health, and success while allowing millions of devout believers in war zones, poverty, or chronic illness to suffer. What does that say about the 'prosperity gospel' or the idea that strong faith guarantees a better life?

Happy Father’s Day to my favorite human @mgosparky! You make all of mine and our son’s dreams come true. We love you more than words can say!

The flesh doesn't die on its own. You have to starve it. And the spirit doesn't grow on its own either. You have to feed it. The Bible is specific about how both happen. Here are 6 habits — straight from Scripture — that systematically weaken the flesh and strengthen the spirit. Most Christians know about them. Very few actually practice them. 🧵

Why is Good Body Language Important?? Listen to Jose Rijo-Berger talk about a player who got an offer on the game he went 0-4 and not the tournament he went 20-28🤯🗣️ #the108way

“Ask the Lord your God for a sign, whether in the deepest depths or in the highest heights.” (Isaiah 7:11) This is the only moment in the entire Bible where God tells someone to ask Him for a sign. Not Solomon, who was invited to request a gift. Not Elijah, who called fire down himself. Ahaz. God looked at this man in the middle of a crisis and said: ask me for any kind of sign, whether in the deepest depths or highest heights. God removed the ceiling completely and said I will do anything just to make you believe. Ahaz said no. He dressed his refusal in religion saying“I will not put the Lord to the test” but that was not piety. That was a cover. The real reason Ahaz wouldn’t ask is because he had already made his own arrangements. He had political alliances, military calculations, a backup plan that didn’t require God to show up. When you have already decided to save yourself, you do not need a sign. The offer becomes an inconvenience. God saw straight through it. And instead of withdrawing the offer, God said: you won’t ask for a sign? Fine. I’ll give you mine. “A virgin will conceive. She will bear a son. His name will be Immanuel; God with us”. The most staggering promise in the Old Testament was not given in response to great faith. It was given in response to faithlessness. God took Ahaz’s refusal and turned it into the axis of all human history. The sign Ahaz wouldn’t request became the sign the whole world would one day kneel before. This is who God is. The lengths He goes to reassure us; ask me anything, any depth, any height. The lengths we go to avoid Him; dressing our self-sufficiency in the language of reverence. And the lengths He goes regardless; making His promise not despite our rejection, but through it. You cannot out-maneuver His generosity. You can only miss what it feels like to have asked.

Coach Klenakis – OL, Vanderbilt G lead scheme. Technique within the scheme -that’s what wins. Down block - first step, second step in the ground. Hit the hip - create movement. Trap pull. Base drive. In-space work. Whole–part–whole. Drill it - then apply it.

Most Christians read Genesis 4 and miss the verse God put before the murder. It is not the offering. Not even the field. One line names something alive at the door. And warns every saint who walks past it on the way to church.

My Son played Lacrosse for 10 years. In 6th grade, his club team was the Warriors. One of his buddies, Logan, often practiced in his school uniform. Khaki pants, green polo shirt. The talk among the parents was that Logan’s parents must not have their act together, since they always forget his gear. All the other players had their full regalia: shorts, team jersey, pads, helmet, and gloves. One day, I sat on the bleachers next to a Dad I didn’t know, watching practice. Turned out, Frank was Logan’s Dad. It was one of those days when Logan was practicing in his school clothes. I don’t remember how it came up, but Frank casually mentioned, shaking his head, that Logan had forgotten his gear again. “Look at that knucklehead,” Frank said. “We remind him to load his gear the night before, and he forgets it again.” A switch flipped in my brain. Surrounded by Moms and Dads handling their kids’ gear from house to field, Logan was the one learning the most valuable lesson. Fast forward to the night before the next practice: Me: “Ethan, load your gear in the car, or you’ll be practicing in your school clothes!”

@CherylSchatz Did not David (man after God’s own heart) say that he could not bring him (his dead infant son) back, but he could go to him?

James White takes issue with John MacArthur's position that all infants and unborn children who die go to heaven. White argues that the same election that applies to adults applies to infants, meaning there are elect infants and non-elect infants. In his view, God makes no exception for the unborn or the very young when it comes to election and its consequences.

@DeChristianLife The word become flesh

Beware of false teachers

@kcalpeguy @CoachCroyle 💯

@CoachCroyle Penalty should be on the offense. You can not simulate the start of a play, doesn’t matter if their all moving backwards. If an OT moves backwards in pass protection early, penalty is on the OT.

Oh my...nasty way to get people to jump...🤔

The Kelce brothers accidentally explained one of the longest-running training mistakes in professional sports in under 30 seconds. A pitcher's delivery takes 1.5 seconds. The rest period before the next pitch is roughly 20 seconds. A starter who throws 100 pitches in a game produces somewhere between 2 and 3 minutes of total physical exertion across a 3-hour window. The work-to-rest ratio is approximately 1:20. That ratio maps almost perfectly to the ATP-CP energy system, the anaerobic pathway that powers movements lasting under 10 seconds. Sprinting. Jumping. Swinging a bat. Throwing a 97 mph fastball. Every meaningful action in baseball lives in this system. Distance running trains the opposite system. Aerobic metabolism. Slow-twitch muscle fibers. Type I fibers that are smaller, produce less force, and prioritize fatigue resistance over power output. Elite sprinters carry 60-80% fast-twitch fibers. Elite endurance athletes carry 60-95% slow-twitch. A 2008 study on collegiate baseball players found that combining endurance training with power training produced measurable drops in power output. You are literally remodeling the engine in the wrong direction. Training the aerobic system when every sport-specific action runs on anaerobic fuel. The tradition started decades ago because games last 3 hours and coaches confused game duration with physical demand. A game lasting 3 hours does not mean the athlete is exerting for 3 hours. A pitcher standing on the mound between pitches is recovering, not working. The correct training analog is a sprinter who runs 100 meters, walks back, and goes again. Driveline Baseball, Eric Cressey, and every major sports science program has been publishing this data for over a decade. Strength coaches at the MLB level largely moved to sprint-based and med ball protocols years ago. But the foul-pole-to-foul-pole jog still persists at the high school and college level because the coaches who played in the 90s trained that way and never updated. The Kelces just explained it to 3 million people faster than any journal ever could.

The bible is the best money guide ever written. Money is mentioned 2,000+ times. Here are 10 lessons straight from Scripture 🧵 Bookmark this one Christians.

🔥🚨BREAKING: It is being claimed on X that In 2009, Tim Tebow proved the existence of God, a post that is trending reveals the statistically impossible consistency with a bible verse and the former football player. Trad West: ‘Tim Tebow wrote John 3:16” under his eyes during the National Championship Game. 94 million people searched the verse that night. Exactly three years later to the day, Tebow played his first NFL playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He threw for 316 yards. His yards per completion were 31.6. The TV rating peaked at 31.6. The opponent’s time of possession was 31:06. The only interception in the game was thrown on 3rd and 16. The game was played exactly 316 weeks after Tebow declared he would play college football for the University of Florida. Six different statistics. All pointing to the same verse. On the same date. Three years apart. Nobody planned this. Nobody could have.’ “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16

@balu_black @howertonjosh @thomaslhorrocks Many examples of abortion in the Bible. -2 Kings 8:12 -Amos 1:13 -Hosea 13:16 All related to God’s judgment in some form or fashion. If the Lord knows how the bones do grow in the womb, then it is precious life.

@howertonjosh @thomaslhorrocks Where does the bible talk about abortion we serve a God who said in Genesis he breath life into us when does a fetus breath before birth breathe = life. YHWH coded his name in your breath first and last thing we do is breath his name.

I think one of the reasons the right-wing Christian Nationalists are coming out so hard against James Talarico is that they know his version of Christianity looks a whole lot more like Jesus than theirs does and they know people are catching on.
