That's not my opinion, that's just what words mean.

You don't have to call them "gods" to worship things above the Lord. Worship, worth-ship. When you proclaim ultimate worth to something and put other things as secondary considerations.
You know. Idolatry.
If your political party is more important than your church, that's other gods you worship.
I have never posted where I didn't have to delete racist sexist homophobic xenophobic bigoted comments. You name it. Instagram seems to have an algorithm designed so the absolute meanest most bigoted psychopaths get shown my little Jesus videos so that they can anonymously vomit their hate onto me.
I don't understand y'all who primarily engage social media on Instagram. There or are five or six platforms might post on in the course of a month and I have healthy positive even friendly responses on most of them. I've actually made friends and I keep up with them. But Instagram is a cesspool.
(Anyone wants the cliff notes, Philo thought it was God who was ordered and humanity which was chaotic, and Josephus thought humanity was failing at imposing order on a universe of chaos and we must throw ourselves on the mercy of God. So I did mention it, but it was more tear-filled than planned)
Sometimes you have a really dry but important sermon contrasting the views of Philo of Alexandria and Josephus about Abraham with one another... And the night before your country goes to war in the middle east again and you have to talk about whether church is sanctuary from the world instead.
I think one of the perks of marriage is that once you've secured a lifelong mate you really only need to pretend to tolerate Hawaiian pizza in front of one person for the rest of your life and you can be honest with everybody else about how their pizza choice is unnatural and bad.
Go ahead and deconstruct fam. The world should not look the same to you as an adult as it did in Sunday School

Saying you'd be getting a letter from Paul is like saying
"Hi, I haven't read the New Testament. But I am angry about you in a way Paul would never have tolerated.
Which I would know. If I read the New Testament."
When you tell someone they'd be getting a letter from St Paul if he were alive today... It's definitely not the insult you think it is.
Paul wrote these letters almost exclusively to people he knew and loved and wanted to help them get through their struggles so their community would survive.
I don't want to get too political but like maybe the people who have been executed by federal officers in the streets for no reason should still be at the top of the news since our government actively proclaimed they don't care and they'll lie about it reflexively.
Jesus redeems even the Devil's temptations

I'm sorry I thought we believed in freedom in this country
Almost like if insist a false accusation would ruin a man's life that inadequately cares about the victims of abuse but also ignores that most of these people who are so-called canceled just go on being famous and making more money than most humans will ever see.
Almost like we live in a world where a powerful enough man can just roll the dice and pretend he's been vindicated and hope the public doesn't look any further into the evil he has been very plausibly accused of.
Kind of crazy Neil Gaiman takes some sort of victory lap because he hasn't been convicted of a crime though he has been in no way exonerated and all of the women who accuse him of abuse have extremely similar stories which if you put in chronological order show a clear pattern of escalation.
Lent is the 40βday season of repentance, fasting, prayer, and spiritual renewal as we prepare to celebrate Christβs death and resurrection at Easter. It begins on Ash Wednesday because βRemember that you are dust, and to dust you shall returnβ
Get ready for Easter. Mark a holy Lent.
Y'all come
ER Receptionist: Who are you to the patient?
Me: Her priest.
Rec: Do you have some kind of ID?
Me: I have a driver's license.
Rec: No, something that says you are her priest.
Me: ... I'm dressed like one?
Rec: Take a seat, I will send a nurse back to see if she's expecting you.
There is a racist legacy in art and architecture of the 20th century that explains so much insane theology detached from all the rest of Christianity.

Honestly I don't think it's that bad outside as long as you are wearing a bunch of layers, and you are under a blanket, and in the late 1950s they built a house where you are and you purchased it and you are next to the fire shielded from the temperature by all the walls and insulation and stuff
Why are people awake at this hour?! Why can we not all be Owl Knights?!
The God who comes near never stops.
