Here’s what’s so frustrating to me about this whole debate: this ad is great. “He Gets Us” was also great. Why do we have to pit them against each other? Why not be happy about both? I swear, polarization poisons everything.

But they all cried out together, "Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas"-- a man who had been thrown into prison for an insurrection in the city. -Luke 23:18-19

If AI turns into Skynet and destroys us all, it will still all have been worth it to get this masterpiece.

Seven doctrines for ruling the world? Pretty sure it’s just one: The devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” -Matthew 4:8-9

The Trinity is not a math problem to be solved. It’s the good news that God is love, and you’re invited. —Glen Scrivener

This is so good 🙌

Go to dark Gethsemane, ye that feel the tempter's power; Your Redeemer's conflict see, Watch with him one bitter hour; turn not from his griefs away, learn of Jesus Christ to pray.

I think about this passage literally every day. This is my Roman Empire.

This is a pretty fantastic illustration of Hebrews 12:1-2. "Lay aside every weight..."

Evergreen tweet since 1635

I think about this G.K. Chesterton passage a lot.

I truly believe that Jesus on the Emmaus Road was him playing a prank on his two friends. Keeping them from recognizing him, playing along with their ignorance, pretending to not stay for dinner, disappearing… everything about the story screams “Boo! Gotcha!”

Gonna try this the next time I get signed out of my Netflix account.

This is fantastic and helpful.
