The genius of the gospel is not to cause a political revolution, for such things do more harm than good, but rather to transform the inner person which in turn transforms relationships with others. In these transformations lie the seed to lasting change.
It's been a long time since I last heard this hymn. The Holy Spirit just brought it back to my mind and I thought I'd share it with you:
"He paid the debt he did not owe
I owed a debt I could not pay.
I needed someone to wash my sins away.
And now I sing a brand new song,
Amazing Grace . . .
Christ Jesus paid the debt
That I could never pay"
----------
Thanks be to God for His most gracious gift, one which I could never earn in 1000 lifetimes.
"Before the Lord the whole universe is as a drop of morning dew upon the earth. But you have mercy on all, Lord, because you can do all things. You overlook people's sins that they may repent. Therefore you rebuke offenders little by little. You warn them and remind them of the sins they are committing that they may abandon their wickedness and believe in you."
Wisdom 11:22-12:2
A reminder that biometric auth security is not based on secrecy (#biometrics aren't secret), but on the difficulty of making a copy that can trick a sensor. Now there's an app for that. #infosec

I've been following the Kanye West story for a while now. I've been really optimistic about what #Christ is doing in his life.
If you have any abiding doubts, please, watch this appearance with Jimmy Kimmel:

Jimmy: "Are you a Christian artist now?"
Kanye: "I'm just a Christian everything."
His new album, "Jesus is King," is out now. Give it a listen. Taste and see.
Just heard @Wimpy is the new director of Ubuntu Desktop. This is fabulous news! I couldn't imagine a better pick for the job, and I look forward to a strong 20.04 release in his hands.
In Col 4.7, most versions prefer translating the Greek word διάκονος as "minister" rather than its general sense, "servant." Why is that? A few, mostly off-versions, translate it as "deacon." Are most of them tainted by a clergy mindset? Or is it simpler, that the third noun is σύνδουλος, which most translate as "fellow(-)servant", and they don't want to translate it a slave, so avoid servant twice in the same phrase? NASB doesn't have a problem with that, however.

Yet another incredible turn on this story:
Amber Guyger's judge gave her her own personal bible and told her to read John 3:16, before she was led away to begin her sentence.
The Dallas cop who entered her neighbor's apartment and shot him has been charged with murder and sentenced. No one--including cops--should be able to shoot a person and walk away scot-free. I am thankful.
But I'm even more thankful for this: that in the courtroom, the brother of the man she killed forgave her, and implored her to give her life to #Christ
There is a greater Judge than the one in that room. I pray this woman--and you--would seek His favorable verdict.
