“You can’t enjoy God too much.” - Ray Ortlund, Jr.

God's love is too big to fail, even when we do.

Christianity without Christ is a burden. - Steve Corts

“You may forget that you are at every moment totally dependent on God.” - C.S. Lewis

God makes people His and then makes His story theirs.

The realization that my daily relationship with God is based on the infinite merit of Christ instead of my own performance is a very freeing and joyous experience. But it is not meant to be a one-time experience; this truth needs to be reaffirmed daily.

Congrats to the 2024 graduates of the Tar Heel Leadership program! Grateful for the opportunity to share about NC Baptists's #onmissiontogether movement & how we are called to send. Thankful for Steve Corts' leadership & these great ministry leaders.

You have everything necessary to accomplish what God is calling you to do today!

Don't let success go to your head, nor let failure go to your heart.

Pastors, it’s Monday. Don’t resign. Instead… ✅ Drink some good coffee ✅ Get some sun. ✅ Go for a walk in nature. ✅ Lift something heavy. ✅ Sit still and in silence. ✅ Pray with an open honestly. ✅ Spend time with a friend. Bi-vo pastors, do this on breaks and lunch.

The shooting death of Charlie Kirk is deeply evil, heartbreaking, and appalling. While the political left dismisses him and the political right celebrates him, the most notable aspect of his life was his courage to openly declare his faith in Jesus without fear. (1/3)

He possessed an extraordinary mind, reflected deeply on what truly matters through a Christian worldview, and served as a model of faith that uses reason and facts to respond to a culture that tries to do the impossible: alter reality to serve oneself. (2/3)

He held Jesus and the gospel in high regard and challenged others' worldviews with gentleness and respect. As I close, I’ll gladly echo Kevin DeYoung: “If you want to honor his legacy, pick up a Bible, read about Jesus, and see what he believed in.” Amen.” (3/3)

This Sunday at Center Grove, we pause. In light of Charlie Kirk’s death & rising political violence, we’ll turn to Scripture for clarity, courage & hope. Let’s do what many say we shouldn’t: Pray for America Pray for our kids Pray for awakening Join us.

Our failures no matter how great NEVER fail our Father’s love for us in Christ.

God has rules for life. But the rules come out of a relationship with Him in Jesus— not for a relationship with Him.

Put off your old self. Be renewed in your mind. Put on the new self made to be like Christ. Ephesians 4:20-24.

Somebody is going to be set free to forgive & live free tomorrow, & it might be you. Join us! 9 & 10:45am at Center Grove Church
