God’s love neither increases when we obey nor decreases when we disobey.

Indeed, the way Jesus interpreted the Old Testament makes the conclusion of the Old Testament to be what we call Christianity.

Romans 5:8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

I highly doubt the test screenings have gone poorly for the reasons most people think. I imagine the story doesn’t make sense because, as I keep saying, ITS NOT THE FIRST BOOK. So much of TMN relies on knowledge from previous books.
Greta Gerwig’s $280 Million ‘Narnia’ Reportedly an ‘Awful’ Disaster as Netflix Scrambles to Fix Film “Netflix may have a $280 million problem on its hands. Just one day after Greta Gerwig’s controversial Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew trailer debuted, a new insider report alleges that the expensive fantasy adaptation has been plagued by disappointing test screenings, additional filming, and growing tensions behind the scenes.”

This post attempting to banter with my friends who disagree with me on the reading order of the Narnia books got way more traction than I intended. That’s really all this was. No need to correct me on Lewis, reliable news sources, or the real reason this movie will suck 😂

“Downgrades on Trinitarianism, simplicity, immutability, and impassibility are all as lethal as downgrades on Scripture and revelation in the long run for [protestant] orthodoxy.” Carl Trueman

The worst thing about this trailer? The Magician’s Nephew wasn’t the first story…
The first trailer for Greta Gerwig's ‘NARNIA’ has been released. In theaters on February 12, 2027.

.@ZachLahn: "I would like to make Iowa the first state in the country to eliminate property taxes on primary residence single family homes... The reason I want to do that is because I don't believe you should be renting your home from the government."

I dislike how it’s now just commonplace to see videos of awful things happening, casually shared, reshared, liked, plenty of mocking comments. The public space online is pretty dystopian at times. I don’t want to see someone’s terrifying last moments, especially not so casually.

We talk a lot about older couples modeling good marriage for young people, but I would also like young couples with good marriages to know that you can likewise be an encouraging model, even to single people.

Though the believer is under the law of the ten commandments as a rule of life, he is not under the law as a covenant of works in any sense: neither does the law he is under adjudge him to eternal life upon his obedience, 1/2

"Shut up panican!" "Quit complaining!" "Forget about Epstein!" "Forget about Covid!" "Meat too expensive? Eat something else!" "Gas too expensive? Deal with it!" "mRNA shots good!"

The Bills beat the Chargers despite committing 5 turnovers Sunday.🤯 Buffalo had lost 16 straight when committing 5+ turnovers, with the last win coming in 1997 against Indianapolis. The Colts QB that day? Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh.

God could if He so chose ensoul anything. A tree, a rock, a laptop. This shouldn't be confused with the idea that there's some configuration of natural conditions under which a switch flicks on and hey presto, there's a soul. It appears to be a common confusion though.

Did you know that all Scripture is God-breathed *and* profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness?
