.@charlescwcooke: I have no time whatsoever for people who move here and are unpatriotic. We do not have to let you in.

Ernie Johnson, a legend in sports broadcasting, just announced this will be his last season hosting “Inside the NBA.”
He’s also a man of deep Christian faith.
Watch this clip from 2022, shortly after the death of his adult son.

"Every pastor is an interim pastor."

My role as a pastor is not to build something big, for my sake.
My role as a pastor is to build something healthy, for the next guy's sake.
Every pastor's daily goal should be to work such that his successor enjoys an even more fruitful, calm, and unified ministry than he does. And to till and plant accordingly.
We're going to be done soon, and quickly forgotten. Good. This church is Christ's. The glory is God's. Let's pray and love our people today and set up our successor to thrive.

Think I’ve finally settled on my final take regarding the eligibility stuff.
I’ve said repeatedly that I didn’t think LSU should pursue the players. I also understand the players’ case.
What has irked me are those who refuse to acknowledge the case of the 2022 kids in this era.

Mature Christians think: "There's so much more about the real Jesus Christ I have yet to discover."
Immature Christians think: "I have pretty much exhausted who Jesus is."
How could it be otherwise? Paul speaks of "the *unsearchable* riches of Christ" (Eph 3:8).

Any Christian who grew up in the scriptures, reading and studying the stories of the Old Testament, the patriarchs, the sin and failure of the Israelites and God’s mercy and forgiveness and faithfulness to them, will feel a kinship with the people of Israel.
Their story is our story. Their struggle with sin is ours. Their heritage, by God’s grace, is our heritage. When you see how God preserved them through war, captivity, exile, persecution, idolatry, and even rejection of Yeshua, and see how He’s preserving them still today, we realize God still has a future plan to bring them back, as promised in Romans 11.
If He can preserve them, he can preserve you. If He can save you, he can save them. I don’t see how a Christian can look at the Jewish people with anything other than affection, compassion, and humility.
“His blood be upon us, and our children,” spoken as a curse, will end as a blessing when one day the remnant of Israel is covered and redeemed by the blood of Jesus.
We respond like Paul did: “Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable His judgments and untraceable His ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor? Or who has ever first given to Him, and has to be repaid? For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.”
Romans 11:33-36

Milton Friedman: “In higher education, the student chooses the institution, and the institution has to adapt to attract the student. In elementary and secondary education, the institution chooses the student, and the student has to adapt.”

John Adams, writing to Abigail, about the Continental Congress' vote in favor of independence on July 2, 1776:
"The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more. You will think me transported with Enthusiasm but I am not. -- I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. -- Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means. And that Posterity will tryumph in that Days Transaction, even altho We should rue it, which I trust in God We shall not."

Long live the Warthog.
In consultation with @SecWar, we will EXTEND the A-10 “Warthog” platform to 2030. This preserves combat power as the Defense Industrial Base works to increase combat aircraft production.
Thank you to @POTUS for your unwavering support of our warfighters and quick, decisive leadership as we equip our force. More to come.

Christianity is a religion. It is okay to say so! It became a bad thing to say in the 90s when every sermon was about “not a religion but a relationship.”
It is both!
