Every religion has a prophet who is pointing people to God. Jesus is the only one who says, “I am God, and I am coming to find you.”

Whatever good earthly thing we unwittingly come to count on to be heaven, inevitably becomes hell. It breaks our hearts.
Career, wealth, sexual pleasure, morality, good doctrine, ministry, physical strength, children, reputation, favorite vacation spot, food.
If we resign ourselves to never achieving heaven in this life, we begin to be freed up to actually enjoy the good things of life in a delighted, openhanded, depressurized way.

"Adults who marry as virgins, research finds, are less likely to be divorced within five years than those who had an above-average number of sexual partners before they wed."

Jesus makes more sense.
This is at least the third time I can recall in the past couple years where @joerogan has confessed “Jesus makes more sense” than the other guiding stories of our culture.
The most listened to voice in the world sounds a little bit like C.S. Lewis in “Miracles” here 🤔

The estimated number of children under 15 in Japan as of April 1 fell by 350,000 from a year before to 13.66 million, down for the 44th consecutive year. ebx.sh/pFDHpN

No marriage is perfect. Those celebrating 20, 30, or 40 years of marriage are actually celebrating forgiveness, tolerance, and moving past big mistakes that were made. Money doesn't determine a better marriage, but character and loyalty does.
“Japan has moved in the opposite direction by becoming increasingly multilingual.”
Interesting headline for a multi-national, multi-lingual church in Tokyo.
As the U.S. officially designates English as its national language, Japan is taking a different path that is partially the result of a rise in foreign tourists. ebx.sh/f0VCo7
Dear Gen Z, Will you pray for a gospel awakening in Japan like the one happening among you in the West?

If your god never disagrees with you, you might just be worshiping an idealized version of yourself.
As a @Broncos fan, I’ve always said I love that @RobGronkowski guy and never said anything negative about him. #bros
