GM and Merry Christmas, Nostr!

Screw number go up.

Separating money and state has never been more important. This “high velocity trash economy” needs to die (credit nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy ).

This is on full display with all of the garbage made in China toys that my kids have gotten from grandparents this year.

Fix the money, fix the world. We may not live to see all of the fruits of a Bitcoin standard, but I will fight for the rest of my life to make sure my kids and grandkids do

There goes 60,000 sats. Thanks to you I have to tell my family that Thanksgiving dinner is canceled this year

That’s crazy talk. Clearly you haven’t read the thousands of commentaries that explain why the Bible doesn’t actually mean what it says when it comes to predestination

This is what most people, especially the “but what about free will” crowd don’t understand. Maybe the God of the universe put us here to proclaim His glory, and that is actually perfectly okay

The Davinci Code has finally been cracked 😂

Yeah it always seemed like hawkish posturing to me to keep the markets in check

Someone paid for an ad featuring Epstein victims on Monday Night Football, demanding that they release all of the files. Wild times

Shoutout to Vanguard for doubling down after rejecting the coin 😂

Make sure you use hydroxyapatite toothpaste if you go fluoride-free. The patients I see with a lot of new cavities after going fluoride-free for a few years are always the ones using Tom’s or Hello brand with no hydroxyapatite in them

Haven’t watched the new season yet but it’s one of my all time favorites

True love is leading her into truth.

We serve a risen King, taking up our crosses and dying to ourselves daily. The enemy would love nothing more than to lull us in to being lukewarm “Christians” who fear the label of extremism. As for me and my house, we embrace it 💪

Replying to Avatar Contra

I grew up going to Roman Catholic Church. I went through all the motions but understood none of the meaning. I’d constantly ask my mom why I had to do all of the “stuff” and confess my “sins” to some stranger in a confessional booth. It felt hollow and mechanical. I left that tradition the moment I turned 18, determined to forge my own path.

But life has a way of humbling us. I got married at 20, had my first son at 22, and despite my best intentions, I found myself repeating the exact patterns I’d grown up resenting. Generational brokenness is devastatingly real. Another son came two years later, and after 10 years of marriage, I was spiritually and emotionally bankrupt. I’d sit alone some nights, confronting the uncomfortable truth that I’d become a narcissist. Everything I did seemed to revolve around my own needs and ego.

During this season, my wife started attending a non denominational church (Baptist roots). I was working weekend graveyards, so she took our boys with her. Honestly, I figured they’d all be better off without me there anyways as I’d wake up and marinate watching football all day. But over several months, I watched something remarkable happen to my wife. She became more patient, more sacrificial, more joyful. The change was so profound it got my attention in a way nothing else could.

God was working on my heart, creating a curiosity I hadn’t ever had. My wife had been quietly collecting Christian books, and I found myself drawn to Lee Strobel’s “The Case for Christ.” I devoured it in two days, and couldn’t put it down. The historical evidence for Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection was overwhelming. By the end, I was convinced not just intellectually, but in my soul: I was a sinner desperately in need of rescue, and Jesus Christ was real.

That realization changed everything because I knew it had to. If what I’d read was true and the evidence said it was, then this wasn’t just interesting information. It was the most important truth in existence, with eternal consequences.

In the many years since, God has completely reoriented my life. Through reformed theology, particularly RC Sproul’s teaching, I discovered that the dead saints often speak more clearly to our current struggles than most contemporary voices. Reading the Puritans and reformers showed me that God’s sovereignty and grace aren’t abstract concepts, they’re the foundation of transformed living.

The truth is, I didn’t choose God. He chose me. While I was spiritually dead, consumed with myself, He pursued me with relentless love. That grace has transformed my marriage from the inside out, revolutionized how I father my sons, and given me a brotherhood within the body of Christ I never knew I needed.

Now everything I do flows from that love. Everything I do here on Nostr is through that love. Not perfectly, but purposefully. I’m the same man, but I’m not the same man.

If you’re reading this and something resonates, don’t wait. Pick up a book. Ask the hard questions. Examine your life honestly: Are you just happy, or do you have joy? Happiness depends on circumstances; joy transcends them. One is temporary satisfaction; the other is eternal security.

I promise you, investigating the claims of Christ will be the most important thing you ever do. Not because I say so, but because He is who He says He is. And that changes absolutely everything.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Thank you for sharing your testimony, brother. In a week where Satan has taken his mask off, it has been so refreshing to be reminded of the redeeming power of our God through testimonies like yours. He brings dead things back to life and chases after us even when we are running in the opposite direction. Praise God. Christ is King

If this is all nostr ever becomes, it would be enough for me. The last few years on here have been such a net positive for my life. Forever grateful for your part in that sir 🙏🏻
