@DillonLoomis No need to “push” anything. Evangelism is just joining a conversation the Holy Spirit has already started. The power is God’s alone. We’re simply called to faithfully join the conversation.
I really do understand why Christians "pushing" their faith is annoying. I was on the other side for awhile actually
But I hope you can understand if we (Christians) really believe the Bible, we are not given the choice to keep it quiet. We'd have to be selfish cowards not to share the good news and to warn of what's coming
And we will never be able to explain with words what it's like to see Jesus for who He really is. To actually know Him
Other than a child, I've been given everything a man could ask for. Of all the beautiful things life can offer, none are even worth comparing to having a real relationship with Christ
Someone is right about what happens when we die. Make sure you put the time in with an open mind to get it right. After five years of research and questioning, the evidence was clear for me and God then rewarded me with the gift of faith. The only reason I'm still breathing is ultimately to point people to Christ
My sharing is always out of love, wanting for others what I've been given. If you think Christianity is foremost about morality and behavior modification, you really understand nothing about it and the Truth is so much better than you could ever imagine
@omkar_jagdale@Brian_Stoffel_ That’s true. But at what point do we begin to simply trust management based on their track record? Age old question in growth investing?
@Brian_Stoffel_ One important nuance
Large investments are not automatically bullish.
They are bullish only if they lead to:
- higher take rates
- better logistics density
- stronger ecosystem lock-in.
If you're curious as to why $MELI is down so much today, the company announced major ($3.4B) investment in Argentina -- both ecommerce and Pago.
These are wise long-term moves. If it widens moat, today's share are a STEAL.
If competition is willing to forever match this pace of investment, today's shares could stay put for quite some time.
Last weekend being officially being a raven! Hopefully we can continue the relationship. Good luck to all the fellas about to get paid and chin up chest out for those gettin fired! Cheers!
@growthrapidly Still a bit too early to say. For me at least, I’d want to do a bit more research and see some data points of activity to see how easy some of the credits are to use.

🚨 NEW: Gavin Newsom Says Conservatives Have ‘California Derangement Syndrome’
“Our success runs completely contra to their entire worldview … It's also the most diverse state … and that offends these guys.”
Continuing with Charlie Munger’s “Invert, always invert” principle, here’s a question worth thoughtfully assessing:
Why wouldn’t $MELI eventually become a $1T company, as it continues to leverage the power of scale economies shared?
"I don't like the conditions. They're asking me to play a minimum of 6 events and they dictate where 2 of those have to be...amongst other things that I don't agree with."
Jon Rahm explains stance on rejecting DP World Tour deal, via @thegolfeditor:
@BarbellFi Not to mention, the barrier to entry in starting your own business was much higher. It was far more difficult to access information and research investments. Buying and seeking stocks was much more difficult.

- Worked at one company for 30 years
- Bought a house at 22 on one income

- Passed on their generational trauma to their kids
- Rode a historic bull market into retirement with a fat pension
- Sold their house for 30x what they paid
- Enjoy their social security checks while the fund runs out of money
- Tell their kids to stop buying lattes
@mikeautoplug The building is simply where the church gathers. They set the building ablaze and the church continued to meet. Praise God and God bless!
They set up the church ablaze, burned into ashes, but they couldn't burn their faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Pray for the Christians up north in Nigeria.

@QualityInvest5 Can’t disagree. It’s becoming something of a faith investment. I’ve always thought Amazon excelled at being predictable, but I couldnt have predicted this level of Open AI investment. Shocking, honestly.
@Dividend_Dollar Depends on many factors. If Amazon keeps spending like drunken sailors, perhaps Nvidia will continue to capitalize on that spend and the market looks to more near term cash flows. On an even longer horizon, I think Amazon edges out Nvidia because spending should decrease.
BREAKING: OpenAI has officially raised $110B at a $730B valuation.
- $30B from SoftBank
- $30B from NVIDIA
- $50B from Amazon.
