#American logic: Town person: Our water tastes awful. We need a new system. Mayor: I agree. Support a new water tax- TP: A new tax? No. You get enough already. Mayor: Then we can't replace the treatment plant. TP: Fine. (Buys bottled water, costing more than tax increase)

So the average wedding in the US is now up to over 30k. What do you see is the biggest driver for flashy and big weddings? #wedding #marriage #church #pastor

Hey #UMC and other #Methodist folk: Should #clergy spouses ever be the lay delegate (from their clergy spouse's church) to Annual Conference? #church #pastor

Interesting question... Leaving out anyone from the last 100 years due to recency bias... Either Gregory I due to Liturgical reforms which still impact all western Christians to this day... Or Leo XIII who for the first time in centuries placed the poor at the front

Nothing quite like accidentally skipping an example you worked on and prepped for your #sermon There wasn't anything crazy happening or distractions. Just left it out. Realized as I was closing. And no, I don't go back and try to quickly ham fist it. Just let it go #pastor

There is going to be a temptation, fellow #clergy, to change your #sermon for #Sunday in reaction to the passing of #BigBeautifulBill. If you do that, have a friend read/review it. A rant from the pulpit won't help, as good as it may feel in the moment. #church #pastor

You mean to tell me that your relationship that went from meeting to marriage in 3 weeks turned out not to be stable? I'm shocked, shocked I say! #pastor #church #marriage

It's possible to pray for someone's family in their grief and hold in tension the harm that person caused others. Those are my feelings about #JohnMacArthur His family is grieving. Pray for them. He protected sex abusers and told women to stay with abusers. Don't forget that

The insistence from Theo Bros that weak #Apologetics qualify as peer reviewed #scholarship is both hilarious and troubling. They complain about "indoctrination", while simultaneously ignoring entire fields of study because it inconveniences their #theology. #church #pastor

This hymn isn't perfect, but it's not even in the top 50 of worst hymns. Have you even seen "Church in try Wildwood" or "There is a Fountain"?

Hey @Grok, who was the most famous person to interact with one of my posts?

If your kids are as surprised as your friends on FB about your "sudden" divorce, you failed your children. Being adults and properly communicating what's happening is different than pretending it's fine until it's all official. #Marriage #Church #Divorce #Kids #Parenting
