From GLP-1s to political reposts to mindfulness streaks, we’re all keeping score. Jesus says you can’t know who you are until you look at your heart.

When morality is not undergirded by a definitive moral standard, it can be redefined in all sorts of supposedly reasonable and rational ways.
That’s how racism can be rationalized and justified as loving our neighbors.

"Politics involves genuine relationships with people who are genuinely other people, not tasks set for our redemption or objects for our philanthropy." Bernard Crick, "In Defense of Politics"

Brilliant from @jake_meador on exvangelicalism: mereorthodoxy.com/two-types-…
Accurate to my experience running the 400 regularly in college (mostly in relays). Man, I hated this race!
Explainer video on science of why the 400m sprint is considered the most painful track & field event.
And why “no person on the planet can run the 400m all out from start to finish".
The race pushes the way the body creates energy to the limit:
▫️0-50 meters: ATP-CP (energy system for very short and explosive movements; used up after 5-10 seconds)
▫️50-200 meters: Anaerobic glycolysis (burns glucose without oxygen, leading to lactic acid buildup and muscle fatigue)
▫️200-300 meters: Aerobic energy (uses oxygen to break down glucose, but cannot keep up with the demand)
▫️300-400 meters: Anaerobic energy reserves tapped while aerobic energy is too slow to fill the gaps (lactic acid buildup is going HAM)
Track athletes can pace for longer distances and shorter ones are just over quicker (obvs).
The Olympic record is a blazing 43:03, set by South African runner Wayde van Niekerk in 2016 (and 2024 Final race is tomorrow).

If I had never heard a sermon or read a single book by Pastor Tim, he'd still be one of the most admired and influential pastors in my life. I loved and felt loved by @timkellernyc and he will be missed dearly. My brief reflections on what he meant to me.

Don Carson on Tim Keller: “He was jealous for the glory of God. He was quick to see how the trajectories of Scripture, the structure of biblical theology, drove thoughtful readers back to the gospel. His preaching taught people how to read their Bibles.” thegspl.co/3OkiYkO
Thankful for Tim Keller, and the special blessing I have had to interact with him and learn from him in multiple settings over the years. May the Lord especially bless the time he and his family have together in his remaining days.

Honored to write a forward to @alanhirsch newest book. Endlessly thankful for his friendship & writings. No better time for church leaders to seek God's help to see the world the way he does, cause seeing through the powers & principalities ain't working out so well for us.
