The first Lightning payment processor on Shopify WITH an Express Checkout button is going to crush e-commerce similar to Square did with POS. I’m betting on @jack mallers and @npub1ex7m...vyt9 doing it first. Remember what the PayPal “Buy Now” button did?

Joseph’s Brothers Sell Him into Slavery—Gen. 37:1-36 #biblestr https://www.youtube.com/live/DDczO-l2tXI

You have been baptized into Christ. That means where He is, you are. If He has stepped into the sinner’s water and taken your sin as His, then your sin is not free-floating anymore. It has an address: on Him. And if His righteousness is His—and He gives Himself to you—then His righteousness has an address too: on you. #biblestr View article → Audio:

John the Baptist Prepares the Way of the Lord—Mt 3:1-12 #biblestr https://youtube.com/live/eOScV50g88Y

10 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. 11 For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies. 12 Now those who are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread. sjrl.org/media/bible-study-1-thessalonians-41-12-november-30-2025-e6zb3-rhbps-4wg2y-r8rbc #biblestr

So what is the Father’s “business”? To send His Servant, His Son, filled with the Spirit, to bring justice, to be a covenant, to open blind eyes, and to free prisoners. That is not a vague “mission statement.” That is concrete: forgiveness for the guilty, light for darkened consciences, and release for people chained to their sins and fears. View article →

Simeon and Anna Receive the Christ-child—Luke 2:25-40 #biblestr https://youtube.com/live/_qUr0qJTy-0

God places His salvation in the hands of people the world has already moved past. Not kings. Not managers of religion. Not the impressive. An old man ready to die. An old church lady who will not stop talking. That is the Lord’s way. #biblestr View article →

Circumcision and Name of Jesus: Luke 2:21 #biblestr https://youtube.com/live/74ZhRatcDuM

What does this have to do with the turning of the year? Everything. We are tempted to treat a new year like a blank page where we finally get to write a better story about ourselves. Resolutions. Reinvention. Image management. Control. But that’s not how Christians enter a year. Christians enter time under a Name already given, under a mercy already promised, under a Savior already bleeding for them. You don’t walk into this year alone. You walk into it branded—sealed—named.
