I think it’s amazing how I can feel like a sermon just totally fell short, but God still uses it to reach hearts and minds. We should all work on becoming better preachers, but God uses willingness.

These guys are the Vulcan's of the Christian world. Strong emotions underneath the surface coupled with such intense logic they aren't really even in Starfleet. I'm more Kirk; I'll be damned if I don't respect their theological rigor. I don't agree with Reformed theology, but they are thinking it through and fairly ruthlessly and that is to be respected by all Christian denominations.

💕❤️Father grant me strength I seem to bear the weight of the world on my shoulders as a single mom especially since my heart attack, I often face challenges that can seem insurmountable especially with raising two children with special needs. Lord I’m so discouraged. I’m struggling to make ends meet, to pay bills, and to put food on the table for my children hear my prayers and please continue to grant me courage to keep going.❤️💕

Piper should have practiced more to be a good father. You can’t raise kids when you’re gone all the time.
