As a pastor who would love for people to read the Bible more, this is sobering.
US literary statistics 2022/2023:
-21% of US adults illiterate
-54% of adults literacy < 6th grade
-45 mio functionally illiterate (<5th grade)
-130 mio adults unable to read simple story to their children
- Only ~50% adults read > 0 books a year

It's been a while since I've agreed with Piper with no caveats, but "even a broken clock" and whatnot
Presidential election results.
Having delivered us from one evil, God now tests us with another.
“The Lord your God is testing you, to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.” Deuteronomy 13:3

There’s a lot of talk about what pastors *must* say and do these days. My brother in Christ if you don’t have a chapter and verse to go with it, you’re making it up just like I am most of the time.

Yep you guys are right. No one will be able to tell these are AI generated. This is exactly how a swing works in real life. Nailed it.

We are dying to be like the 1st century church in all the wrong ways
The @mallofamerica decided to kick out thousands of peaceful Christians today simply because they have #LetUsWorship shirts on and love Jesus.
They had no idea as massive march would happen RIGHT NOW around the mall.🎵🔥😅

In light of some recent comments 👀, this is a great dose of wisdom.

The way I look at crazy, apocalyptic conspiracy theories about Jesus returning:
If I disbelieve them and I'm wrong, there's no downside. New heavens, new Earth. #Winning
If I believe them/promote them and I'm wrong, I look foolish and do damage to my witness.

"What we deserve is a long and boring existence" is so good 😂
If there was any age Christ would refuse to return in, it would be this one. Because we’re constantly salivating over the apocalypse. We crave the End of the World not because we desire God, but because we want drama. What we deserve is a long and boring existence.

In my reading of the Gospels, love (as modeled and taught by Jesus) looks like service and humility. Whatever Putin has for himself and his country, it’s nothing like the kind of love Jesus taught.
So no, we cannot “all agree” that we need a leader like this.
No matter what your thoughts are on Putin, I think we can all agree we need a leader who loves this country as much as he loves his.
