I woke this morning with a question on my mind. What are the very best experiences I’ve ever had in life? Here are the top three:
1. being in love with a person I know well enough to trust entirely and yet not enough to remove mystery
2. being in the moment with a child who is experiencing unbounded joy
3. sitting with and listening to the stories and insights of an old person who has navigated the pain of life while keeping love alive

A THREAD ON THE VACCINE

1/10 If you are struggling to know whether to get the vaccine, may I offer the following line of reasoning for your consideration?
2/10 If it does not violate the moral law of God and therefore is not a matter of sin and religious liberty, and you want to be taken seriously when the real religious liberty threat arises,
3/10 if your denomination has published an official statement in favor of it and you find yourself hesitant at the prospect of running with your own opinion over the general collective option of your church,

1/7 A corporation is a money-making machine. Until recently in history, corporations could only make money by manipulating matter (wood, stone, metals, minerals, etc) to extract profits. Now corporations can make money by manipulating human perceptions, feelings, and decisions.
2/7 Testifying to Congress, Frances Haugen, the Facebook whistle blower, charges that Facebook puts "astronomical profits before people... Facebook’s products harm children, stoke division, and weaken our democracy...destabilize democracy.” What!?
3/7 If true, think of how frightening and historically unprecedented this is. If a corporation possesses enough power to “destabilize democracy” for its own financial profits, that corporation possesses power equal to that of sovereign nations.

This does not qualify as a sonnet, but I don't have the energy to be that precise right now. Hopefully this ministers to your heavy heart. @JenniferJillS @kreyne @EliseHarboldt 1/8
ON PRESENT STAGE

Lord God Almighty, ineffably holy,
Great in weakness, immeasurably lowly,
From the corner of my eye, I see You moving,
My broken heart runs, yet still You're pursuing
2/8
Take me into Your story now,
Resisting no longer, Your will to allow,
Not mere words on ancient page,
But present Word on present stage
3/8

1/6 The Bible is full of poetry. Sixteen books are composed entirely of poetry. Fourteen other books have a high percentage of poetry. Only 7 of its 66 books have no poetry.
2/6 Yet many people are unaware that much of the Bible is poetry and song, because the way teachers and preachers deliver the Bible to people is largely in the fragmented form of prooftext arguments, which is a way of thinking and communicating that is foreign to the prophets.
3/6 The prophets are more like spoken word artists and less like academic professors, more like singer-songwriters and less like fact-firing evangelists, more like practitioners of love and less like preachers of logic. They want us to act justly, not merely to argue correctly.

A few thoughts on the Ravi Zacharias scandal:

1/7 One of the repeated warnings of the Bible is that bad men will use the good news of Christ as a means of preying upon vulnerable people. They are called “wolves in sheep’s clothing." #RaviZacharias
2/7 Jesus is so attractive & the gospel is so powerful, it is inevitable that predators & shysters will harness His beauty & potency for their evil aims. They are frauds. He is not. The disguise they wear is effective precisely because of the truth it represents. #RaviZacharias
3/7 I’ve actually known two very successful evangelist who said privately that they were atheists, but that preaching was a great way to win trust and make money. They didn’t believe a word they were preaching, and yet what they were preaching was the truth. #RaviZacharias

1/5 A key premise of Revelation is that America, while posing as a “lamb,” actually operates by the principles of the “dragon.” That is, America is not a Christian nation, but rather a modern incarnation of Rome.
2/5 Rome was defined as a legal political system called a “Republic” and was governed by a representative body called a “Senate,” which gave the surface appearance that the government existed for the “public.” America, too, is a Republic and hence a kind of modern Rome.
3/5 But beneath the surface, Rome was characterized by political corruption, financial scandal, legal farce, and warmongering, which led to a loss of public trust. Rome was not conquered from without by a foreign power, but from within by the moral corruption of its own leaders.
