Romans 10:15... How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!

Maybe you’ve heard of Pascal’s “The Wager” when it comes to belief in God.He was a 17th-century French philosopher and mathematician.The gist of “The Wager” is that, according to Pascal, one cannot come to the knowledge of God’s existence through reason alone, so the wise thing to do is to live your life as if God does exist because such a life has everything to gain and nothing to lose. If we live as though God exists, and He does indeed exist, we have

The Rise of Hyperpleasures – Samuel Heard

Karl and Crew ·

2024/07/29

The particular number is arbitrary, of course, but the principle remains — these are pleasures that go far beyond the ordinary range of enjoyment, principally by removing those discomforts we experience in our ordinary pleasures. Hyperpleasures, then, are not new. Humans have been
