Friends, if we come out of this thing more anxious, less trusting, more partisan, less dependent on the Holy Spirit, then we will all have been sickened by this virus in ways that strike much deeper than flesh. Do not be anxious about anything. artofholiness.com/2020/05/23/vir…

The Kingdom of God is my country. King Jesus is my leader. And his gospel is my worldview. This ought to be true for any Christian.

Message one: “I am not coming back to church if I have to wear a mask.” Message two: “I am not coming back to church unless masks are required.” Perfect.

I truly believe that most problems the American Mainline church faces today are directly due to Biblical illiteracy. Churches taught kids to be nice and recycle but they didn't teach them about Jesus.

"Sabbath is the refusal to let one's life be defined by production and consumption and the endless pursuit of private well-being." - Walter Bruggemann #SundaySabbath #Pause

I see 3 false teachings within the church: 1) A compromise of truth resulting in a culture with no Biblical boundaries 2) A compromise of love resulting in an uncivil and violent culture 3) A compromise of the Gospel shifting its primary emphasis from theological to political

Clean. 💯 🐯 Career-best opening round at the Masters. 🐯 First bogey-free opening round at the Masters. 🐯 First bogey-free round in a major in his last 106. Tiger Woods has found his form. 🐅

Either you'll have to "kill" Jesus or you'll have to crown him but the one thing you can't do is just say "What an interesting guy." His claims won't allow that type of answer.

Y’all it’s Advent, we are inside, and I may have had too much coffee. It may get a little Pentecostal this morning! See you at 11!

There is a Hebrew prayer: Tikkun olam. It means, "God, fix the world." Amen.

Good to see some of those who prophesied Trump’s re-election humbling themselves and admitting they got it wrong. Sad to see others refusing. Great leaders apologise. This is bigger than politics. Its about the integrity of the spiritual gifts & the very credibility of the gospel

We get a Sabbath because we are not slaves. The daily grind is not what we were created for. And this is a call not just to stop working, but to take on the mindset of a free person … because listen: I can be in the desert with Egypt behind me and still have the mind of a slave.

Ancient paths ... new structures. Maturity ... movement. Stability ... energy. Wisdom ... vitality. Clouds of witnesses ... mustard seeds. Feel those tensions as the call of God on your life today.

Anyone else get excited about going to sleep so you can get to another morning of breakfast and coffee?

Road work in Macon is almost as bad as Dublin.

One minute you’re partying like it’s 1999 the next you’re 41 and excited about a new desk chair.

I didn’t think I’d miss Doug’s chicken this much. That’s all carry on.

The prayer room is to the church what the heart is to the body. Needs to beat more than once a week.
