Having children is the most low time preference choice you can make

I quoted this from Luther on #Psalm 8 today in the message: “By “infants” He does not mean young children who cannot talk (for if they are to speak and preach the Word, they must be able to talk), but plain, simple, unsophisticated people, who are like infant children in that they set aside all reason, grasp and accept the Word with simple faith, and let themselves be led and directed by God like children. Such people are also the best scholars and pupils in Christ’s kingdom.” The irony is the pushback I received basically was “sanctification is about knowledge and growth” when real Biblical sanctification involves heart, life, and soul change to be more and more like #Jesus. Knowledge is not the end goal, but the means - yet a western culture celebrates knowledge as the end goal.

Whether you are a dad or not, there are children who need you to be a Father for them - step into the role #Jesus is inviting you to have today, you don’t know how much of an impact he wants to make through you

I met with six separate people today and all of them shared their stories with me which centered on the loss of a loved one. Trauma, grief, and loss often become the main event of a person’s life. Yet, into that darkness, comes the light of #Jesus changing the ending.

#Bitcoin can be used today. While some would say we committed the greatest sin of Bitcoin, we shared how we have used Bitcoin today in the latest episode:

Most Christians miss what the #Sabbath is. Unlike most, Biermann centers this on delighting like the Father did at Creation.This is the book to read — Day 7: For Work, Rest, or Play

Peter saw the empty tomb and didn’t yet believe. As you celebrate #Easter, may #Jesus show up and grant you faith despite not seeing!

Can you imagine how the disciples grieved the death of #Jesus today? As they rested on the Sabbath, but as their hearts felt anything but rest. Many followers of Jesus will gather tonight for #Easter Vigil to embody this experience of darkness, confusion, and yet the light of hope that shines into the darkness.

On the latest #Bitcoin Reformation Podcast we sat down with @Jim Crider to talk about how financial planning is so much more than numbers on a spreadsheet and how faith influences the way we see, use, and think about the future. Check it out here:

On #AshWednesday is it fitting the latest #Bitcoin Reformation Podcast came out with @Jordan and Dan Sherman. What sort of people ought we to be? How can Bitcoin save us? How does Bitcoin point towards something or someone greater?

Every year at #Christmas, after I receive cash, my fiat mind immediately runs to what I desire and want to consume. I need to remind myself Jesus has already given me all I need today & anything I buy today will be worth infinitely less compared to #Bitcoin in the future
“Like marriage, the Christian life is to be fully embodied and lived with the whole of our beings. Our relationship with Christ is not just rational or merely emotional but goes to the very core of what it means to be human.”
Who had the best Christmas #bitcoin conversation this year?
