I think some evangelicals would say your relationship with your spouse is more fulfilling and holy if you've waited until you were married. I'm not sure they have a "biblical" basis for that

Incredible!

He didn't need them! Or the Democratic establishment.

And he's getting people excited about a range of options other than what they offer

I would never recover from that level of 8-yo scorn

If you can't find anybody, does that make you skeptical the boom is organic?

It's my policy. Surprisingly I haven't had students complain.

That's what my 5-yo said too!

Both of my kids are home from school today and I'm controlling the chaos mainly with lines from Bluey ("Do you want to be right, or do you want Bingo to play with you?" and "Boring things are also important")

This is my rep. She won't have town halls, at the only one she did have she removed a person for asking a hard question. There is an ongoing chalk protest at her office in Kingsport, TN EVERYDAY. She is a horrible person and a crook. Repost liberally.

Yes, it's not great but not that unusual

A TED talk and a Coldplay concert

I can't think of a group of people whose opinions on menopause I would care about less

shedance4_him 2h You will not get into heaven by your good works and being a good person letsgoayo 2h That is the ONLY way into heaven. shedance4_him 2h No it's not your good works and being a good person will not get you into heaven. Following the Word of God his teachings and believing that Jesus Christ is lord and that he died for you shall make your save and access to heaven letsgoayo 2h The word of God commanded you to love your neighbor as you love yourself. Therefore, you are failing God. You are out of sync with God. You have excluded yourself from God's kingdom. shedance4_him 2h What are you talking about ?

“what are you talking about?”

oh my

GODDDDDD

Once in a while when our domestic life is getting too peaceful I like to say things like "wouldn't Wendell Berry be kind of into AI?"

My husband writes smart, thoughtful essays

I think so, but I can't say for sure that they'd identify themselves that way. They're definitely very interested in what's happening with evangelicals & exvangelicals

Actually this would be a good week too

@rns.org and @holypostmedia.bsky.social both are

I think your original is better!

haha no worries! bluesky is not the place to worry about sentence structure

I'm watching him talk about it right now! youtu.be/ZvRHulHtbg8?...

The mainline churches aren't really growing, even with all the disillusioned liberal Christians leaving evangelicalism, and I don't understand why not

A few! More commonly, they leave the Southern Baptist Convention and find a home in a nondenominational church

I'd really love to never see Kim Davis in the news again. She can go tend to her (apparently pretty messy) personal life

A little crowd sourcing - trying to talk with some folks who have recently bought their first Bible or a new Bible

Nope, I've heard this too many times and I refuse to get my hopes up

They like posting on facebook too much

This is good news ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

After an opposing group alleged she had an affair with a younger man, Elizabeth Warren tweeted "it's always a good day to be reminded that I got where I am because a great education was available for $50 at the University of Houston (go Cougars!). We need to cancel student debt and make college free for everyone who wants it."

He's displaying Elizabeth Warren levels of taking an "attack" and turning it into a chance to remind us how cool he is. The man knows what he believes.
