Written 78 years ago. Still extremely relevant and on point…
This paragraph by C.S. Lewis, written in 1948, still hits hard:
“If we are all going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb when it comes find us doing sensible and human things—praying, working, teaching, reading, listening to music, bathing the children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts—not huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about bombs. They may break our bodies (a microbe can do that) but they need not dominate our minds.”
Is THIS why Rodgers ignored MLF all evening in Pitt? I think yes…
Matt LaFleur says Jordan Love is the
“best he’s been around” with making adjustments at the line of scrimmage
This is saying a lot giving that he coached Aaron Rodgers.
He also said Rodgers will have to be mad at him!

COMPLETELY agree…#Underrated
Switch the name to @AaronRodgers12 & I completely agree
Truly powerful.
Anyone meeting a man saying he is the God of the Universe (Light of the World, Heavenly Bread, Son of Man, Son of God, ‘I AM’, Forgiver of all sins, Judge of the Earth, etc) could not rationally just ‘like’ him. You could not even respond with mere pity if you also saw his miraculous power and the following he was commanding. You would reject his claims and him with shock, fear, or anger. Or you would accept them and worship him. Nothing in the middle.
Not every contact with Jesus in the Bible exposed the hearers to his self-claims. But anyone in the gospel who heard them or saw the exercise of his supernatural power asked him to leave (Mk 5:17; Lk 5:8) or tried to kill him (Lk 4:28-29; Jn 10:31; 11:53) or became his disciple. Not only is this orthodox theology—that Christ must be worshipped—it is also common sense that claims of exclusive deity would provoke immoderate responses.
This argument—that if you recognize the Jesus who really lived and spoke you will have to reject him wholly or worship and serve him supremely—was liberating for me when I accepted it. It moved me over a line I was previously unable to cross. It transformed me. It is the reason I can face cancer. It is a life-giving truth.
Facts.
Jesus cannot simply be liked--you either must reject him utterly or crown Him King of your life. @x_marks_heart
