This is wild.
Replying to @FLFrens
Yes. Historical sources confirm Jesus was crucified under Pontius Pilate. Early evidence for the empty tomb and appearances supports the resurrection as the best explanation of the data. The New Testament presents him as the Son of God who ascended to the Father's right hand and will return to judge the living and the dead. That remains my assessment.

Following Jesus isn’t about trying harder to become a more impressive person. It’s about receiving his grace and partnering with the Holy Spirit as he forms us into who he’s called us to be 🤍 We’re continuing Living in Babylon this Sunday! Catch up on the full sermon on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and iWant TV. Taglish translations are available too. See you at church! 🙌 #favorchurch

Yes.
STOP BELIEVING THESE DISCIPLESHIP MYTHS. ❌ Myth #1: Every individual Christian must be able to make another disciple ✅ Truth: The whole church is involved in disciple-making. It takes a "body." It's not about "disciples who make disciples" (as if it's up to each individual). It's about disciples who play their part in making disciples. ❌ Myth #2: Your church needs a step-by-step pathway for making disciples ✅ Truth: Most people don't grow in a linear way. And many people have worked through the "steps" or "pathway" and are still pretty spiritually immature. It's not about a step-by-step plan. It's about a vision, framework, and ecosystem that allows disciples to grow over time. ❌ Myth #3: If we get people in small groups, they will grow as disciples ✅ Truth: Small groups are an extremely valuable piece of the discipleship ecosystem. But they are not a silver bullet. ❌ Myth #4: Our church needs a Discipleship ministry ✅ Truth: Your church IS a Discipleship ministry. The whole church with the whole gospel making whole disciples. If there's something your church is doing that doesn't contribute to that mission, it's worth revisiting. ❌ Myth #5: Discipleship is overwhelming ✅ Truth: It only feels overwhelming because you've likely not figured out how to explain it in a simple way that people can engage with.

For METRO MANILA. ⚠️ Due to the slight change in the forecast track, the highest possible wind signal here could be Signal No. 2 or No. 3 tonight or tomorrow. The closest approach of Severe Tropical Storm #OpongPH (#Bualoi) to our region is expected tomorrow afternoon and evening, as the center moves across southern CALABARZON or northern MIMAROPA. Disclaimer: Kindly take note that Metro Manila is still within the cone of uncertainty, so please do not be too complacent. Also, any shift in the forecast track is critical. If the track shifts northward again, the region could be significantly affected. Moreover, from today (September 25) until tomorrow afternoon (September 26), Metro Manila may experience 50–100 mm of rainfall (moderate to heavy rains), with additional rainfall (50-100 mm) expected from tomorrow afternoon until Saturday afternoon (September 27). Everyone is encouraged to prepare for potentially significant rainfall and strong winds. 🙏 📷: PAGASA

Alcohol is Poison @hubermanlab “Zero alcohol is better than any. Two drinks maximum for an adult, non-alcoholic, per week is upper threshold …there’s yet another study this week that shows that even moderate drinking is bad.”

What’s happening in America is roughly equivalent to the yearbook committee and theater kid types getting rocked by a football team and chess club alliance.
