The reaction to this post is a prime example of why the way is narrow and few find it.
From “you shouldn’t share this” to “Christianity has a marketing issue”… the gross misunderstanding of grace and newness of life is lost on most.
Christianity is too radical for the masses. It’s why they sought to crucify Jesus and why they’ll eliminate the two witnesses on revelation. 🤷🏻♂️

My wife was formerly promiscuous. I was a virgin. She was then radically born-again. Committed to church, evangelized constantly, Puritan books in her bedroom, prayer journals, grief over past sexual sin, etc. We got to know each other well for over a year, dated for four months, engaged for two and a half, and didn't sin sexually with one another. Our first kiss with each other was at the altar on our wedding day (reaction pic attached!). We've been married for over five years now, and she's been the most wonderful and godly wife, mother to our three children, and homemaker you could imagine. She's more pure than most virgins, as biblical purity has less to with past sins (though they certainly matter) and more to do with one's current posture of the heart and daily decisions to honor the Lord (Matt. 5:8). We're far too quick to forget the story of the woman labeled as a known "sinner" (likely a prostitute) in Luke 7:36-50 who was washing Jesus' feet with her tears while kissing them too. The Pharisees were shocked that Jesus let a public sinner do this. Jesus responded with a parable about debts being forgiven and ended with this powerful conclusion: "Her many sins have been forgiven; that’s why she loved much. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little" (Luke 7:47). Everyone seems to highlight the benefits of virginity, and it certainly is a blessing. But we forget to highlight the benefits of being forgiven much as well. My wife knows the depths of Jesus' forgiveness more than most people, enabling her to more easily live out a life of passionate love for her Savior. A woman or man's past sexual sin matters. But what matters far more when it comes to deciding who to marry is if the person is truly born again, if their repentance is real, if they truly have a heart for Christ, if they truly follow Jesus and obey his commands. "God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong. God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world — what is viewed as nothing — to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, so that no one may boast in his presence. It is from him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom from God for us — our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, — in order that, as it is written: 'Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.'" (1 Cor. 1:27-31) "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come!" (2 Cor. 5:17)

Genuinely seems Trumps presidency is completely falling apart. Basic government services aren’t getting executed. He’s stuck in a quagmire in the Middle East. Job growth is negative and inflation is accelerating. Gas is 4-5 dollars a gallon. What a mess

What an idiotic analogy. Israel started the war with Iran not Italy, Germany, and France.
You can’t strike a country’s leadership, kill its top figures, and then act shocked when it hits back.
That’s not unprovoked aggression.
Once you cross that line, you don’t control the response anymore. You only deal with it.

@SafirBlueHawk @MrWinMarshall Thinking about Constantinople and Hagia Sophia IS thinking about the Roman Empire!
English
@MrWinMarshall The joke goes that men think about the Roman Empire every day. They should think about Constantinople and Hagia Sophia every day. We should not become complacent about it.
Lord, have mercy!

Here in Hagia Sophia, on May 29th 1453, after 900 years of being a Christian cathedral, in the final hours of the Fall of Constantinople, a large number of Christian men, women, children, nuns, monks, priests, and others sought refuge from the Muslim invaders.
The Ottomans surged inside and massacred them.
On its holy altars they enacted “perversions with our women, virgins and children” including “the Grand Duke’s daughter who was quite beautiful” and forced to “lie on the great altar of Hagia Sophia with a crucifix under her head and then raped”
Those who were not murdered were enslaved.
Hagia Sophia resembled a “public brothel” before it was turned into a “stable for their horses”, with toppled altars used as troughs.
The Hagia Sophia’s main Crucifix was then paraded “in mocking procession” with “spitting and blasphemies and curses”.
“Behold the god of the Christians!” They jeered

Dangerously Hot Take: Jessup is the antagonist of the movie, but he's completely right and the moral of A Few Good Men is a big part of why the military has such a problem with mutiny, sabotage, and malingering.
The military is not a frat house or social club. It is an organization that exists to kill the enemies of the United States and break their stuff. Military units require hard men able and willing to follow orders, suffer brutality, inflict harm, and work as a team.
Historically, that means strict rules, harsh punishments, unit-enforced standards, and a troop-based immune system that weeds out weak links in the team that could get everyone killed.
In A Few Good Men, Santiago is blatantly writing letters to anyone with influence offering to "trade information" for a transfer. The real Marine it was based on, Alvarado, was salty that conditions at Guantanamo Bay weren't very comfortable and the information that he offered to "trade" was an accusation of an illegal shooting by his comrades—which was never substantiated.
This is not some super uncommon thing. Bad troops will make up all sorts of things to get out of doing any real work. I worked with several Santiagos. I had to do Article 15 paperwork on Santiagos. By the time I left the military—nearly ten years ago already!—it was becoming very challenging to do *anything* to deal with Santiagos.
Bradley Manning was a Santiago.
Bowe Bergdahl was a Santiago.
Whoever set the fire aboard the USS Ford is a Santiago.
Our military is now dangerously full of Santiagos because we've neutralized the immune system against it.
Civilization depends on the implicit threat of violence and the military is where those threats are made good. Nothing maintains unit discipline and cohesion like the occasional good old fashioned beating.
Change my mind.

I hate my military experience because it's just some super uncomfortable in between where we pretend we are badass warriors but also never ever hurt my feelings with a bad word. You can get out of work if you know the right magic words. No one can do anything about the Santiagos, and otherwise good soldiers realize the entire organization is functionally retarded unless you're special forces or a ranger. Western weakness is destroying everything and I just watch it crumble.
