As if the incarnation itself is not mind-bending enough, the incarnate God spent his days quietly, a man who went to work, got sleepy, and lived a pedestrian life among average people.

Embracing the power of practicing the presence of God is a game changer! It brings clarity, peace, and purpose to our lives. In the midst of chaos, let’s take a moment each day to connect with the divine seek guidance and experience, a profound sense of love and grace.

Liking Threads much more. High engagement there vs here.

This has felt like an echo chamber

β€œIf you want to identify me, ask me not where I live, or what I like to eat, or how I comb my hair, but ask me what I am living for, in detail, ask me what I think is keeping me from living fully for the thing I want to live for.”

All Meta needs to do is convert 18% of Instagram users to Threads, and they will create a new app the same size as Twitter over night.

SO, Threads is supposed to be released tomorrow. Apparently it’s in the App Store as we speak.

Twitter’s shown a Rasputin-like ability to survive multiple assassination attempts.

And Bluesky… needs to move faster in my opinion

Spiritual formation in Christ requires a lot of rehabituation precisely because we build up so many disordered habits over a lifetime. This is also why the spiritual formation of children is one of the most significant callings of the body of Christ.

Your love is a kind of automaticity. That’s why we need to be aware of how it is acquired.

Christian worship, we should recognize, is essentially a counter-formation to those rival liturgies we are often immersed in, cultural practices that covertly capture our loves and longings, miscalibrating them, orienting us to rival versions of the good life.

We are not static β€œbobbleheads,” but dynamic actors constantly being pulled towards our loves. In this sense, we are, as human beings, primarily β€œlovers.” And, as Augustine would argue, when those loves are oriented rightly, we will flourish as human beings, made in the image of God.

Sierra Leone’s incumbent president appears to have won reelection. His main challenger had said he would accept the results if he lost because the two β€œare in the same church.”

Can you imagine ?
