That is the final purpose of his dying, not merely that we might be forgiven, or...saved from hell. Rather, it was that a new people might be formed, a new humanity, a new creation, and that a new kingdom be set up, consisting of people like Himself. – D.M. Lloyd-Jones

This reminds me of that time another ABC presenter ventured to suggest Jesus was fiction — and received this polite history lesson from two of the nation’s most respected ancient historians.

@ShaneLowryGolf @RyderCupEurope @LukeDonald That dance Shane. Just wonderful!!!

I’ve been lucky enough to achieve some amazing things in this game but last week tops them all. The Ryder cup means a lot to me and to have to opportunity to hole that putt to retain the cup on Sunday was a privilege. I love the lads on this team and love being a part of it. Luke Donald is the best captain and guy there is. I’m so happy for him and thankful he trusted me again to help this team to victory. As I was walking up 18 on Sunday I couldn’t but think of all the European and Irish legends that have gone before me in this great tournament. From Eamonn Darcy back in 1987, Christy Jnr in 89, Philip Walton at Oak Hill in 95 to Paul in 2002 and Gmac at Celtic Manor in 2010. There is just something with the Irish and the Ryder Cup. ☘️☘️☘️

Tommy fleetwood “wooh”

@bryanbrosgolf Stop it. I do think teams should take a 13th player as stand by. Then resort to the half point only if 2 players get injured.

That gifted half point actually mattered 😬

To be together means to-gather. You can’t be the Body of Christ without the body present. “Let us not forsake the assembling of ourselves.” (Hebrews 10:25) Scattered coals grow cold. Gathered coals ignite. Absence robs us of presence. To-gether is to-gather. #togetheristogahter

Bill Maher delivers a surprising moment on air as he calls out the slaughter of CHRISTIANS in Nigeria that the media refuses to cover. “If you don’t know what’s going on in Nigeria, your media sources SUCK,” Maher said. “You are in a BUBBLE. I’m not a Christian, but they are systematically killing the Christians in Nigeria.” “They’ve killed over 100,000 since 2009. They’ve burned 18,000 churches… They are literally attempting to wipe out the Christian population of an entire country. Where are the kids protesting this?” he asked. Maher’s diatribe drew a huge reaction from the crowd, and a big THANK YOU from Rep. Nancy Mace for bringing it up. “Absolutely,” Maher responded.

@mrdanwalker I know

Keep your eyes on Jesus

Some Thoughts on Violence and the Loss of Humanity When Mahatma Gandhi came to England in the 1930s for talks on Indian self-rule, a reporter asked him what he thought of Western civilization. Gandhi, who had just visited the London slums, famously replied, “I think it would be a very good idea.” His point was piercing: the word civilization implies civility, humanity, and neighborliness—but these are often the very things missing in our cultural practice. Today, we live in what might be called an anger and assassination culture. Violence—whether verbal, digital, or physical—has become a first resort when facing disagreement. To disagree is no longer to enter a conversation; it is to declare war. We cancel, we condemn, we caricature, and too often, we kill. Why? Because we are losing our humanity. Civilization is dimming. Civility is crashing. Humanity itself is waning and wanting. The world needs a Jesus-shaped humanity more than ever: one that does not strike back but turns the other cheek, one that does not curse enemies but prays for them, one that does not pick up the sword but carries the cross. Without the restoration of our humanity, we truly should “be afraid—be very afraid.” That phrase, lifted from the 1986 film The Fly, was originally a warning about what happens when human beings merge with something less than human. It is a parable for our moment: we are mutating into something monstrous when we abandon the image of God in ourselves and in others. But with the restoration of our humanity, fear loses its grip. Violence is no longer the knee-jerk reflex. Battles are won not by sending in the cavalry, but by showing civility. Not with hostility, but with hospitality. Not with the sword, but with the Spirit. So what transforms the human into the humane? What is the “e” that makes the difference? Empathy. To feel with, to suffer with, to listen before lashing out. Engagement. To move toward, not away from, those who differ from us. Encouragement. To speak life instead of cursing death. But the greatest “E” is Emmanuel—God with us. Jesus is the Word made flesh, humanity in its fullest bloom, divinity embodied in solidarity with the broken and the enemy alike. Only Emmanuel restores what we have lost. Only Emmanuel re-humanizes the dehumanized. Only Emmanuel makes it possible to live fearlessly, even in an age of anger and assassination. If we live in Emmanuel, the culture of death is displaced by a culture of life. Fear gives way to faith. Enmity gives way to embrace. Humanity, once lost, is found again in Him. #JesusHuman #RestoreCivility #FromHumanToHumane #EmmanuelInUs #FearlessFaith #CivilDiscourseMatters #HealingNotHate #FaithOverFear #LoveYourEnemy

@afcstuff Madueke, Mosquera, califiori

Who was your standout player(s) from the first-half, Gooners? ⭐️

@afcstuff Good half

Half-time: Liverpool 0-0 Arsenal. Thoughts on that first-half, Gooners? 🤔

@charles_watts And a player thanking God

That Ian Wright and Eze interview... Wow, that was some good content. So great to see a player that genuinely thrilled to be at a club. The realisation of a dream. How has Wrighty not got a statue yet by the way? What are they waiting for? Wrighty & Rocky together. Just do it.

Love this

@wesleybryangolf Love your work

I really feel the need to thank everyone out there who has shown us support recently. For real, y’all have helped me push through a really tough season of life professionally. Since getting suspended y’all have shown up in a big way….
