This is the single funniest clip I’ve ever seen of a political candidate interacting with a "journalist". In 2 minutes and 19 seconds, Pierre Poilievre exposes what a fraud the media is all while munching on an apple. 😂

For those who know Jesus, death doesn’t have the last say; it has the next-to-last say. The last word for the Christian is the resurrection. The last word is life. The last word is mercy. The last word is that God will take us to be with him forever. - David Powlison

“But to take their grief away, God would need to take their love away, for love and grief are like the daffodils of early spring in which two flowers bloom from a single stem. There is no grief where there has not been love and no love that comes without risk of grief…”

@ScottAniol 👏👏👏 Amen! And this confusion is avoided when we translate θεοπνεθστος as "God breathed" instead of "inspired" or "given by inspiration." The text is God breathed. The writers were carried (1 Pet. 1:21).

If you have not read Jerry Bridges classic work *The Pursuit of Holiness*, well, you should add it to your reading list. It's not too deep or dense. It's clear and Biblical. Most of all, it is filled with hope. #Keepreading #feedyourmind #feedyoursoul

Sin, as an angel of light, talks much about the love of God. It will talk about anything in order to get you to close your eyes to the consequences of your actions, & the end to which they lead, and especially to the death, eternal death, in which they are going to issue. - MLJ

Your soul without the Bible is like your body without food. Your soul without prayer is like your body without water. Without fellowship, as without exercise. Without discipline, as without hygiene. Seemingly small, invisible realities are vital and eventually become visible.

Basic Christian ethics from an apostate. Funny how they get it, but no one in modern churches do. True worship isn’t entertainment. It’s supposed to adore God & His Holiness through sobriety & reverence. Even the lost children should see that.
