New blog post on generosity. What we do with our money may say more about our relationship with Jesus than anything else! And perhaps we need a fresh perspective to recover the joy and not just responsibility of generosity: https://t.co/A7Wyr90q9c.

For those claiming the US is being “invaded,” here is some irony: the largest group of immigrants in Mexico are from the US (1.5 million) many without legal status overstaying their visas. Does that mean we are invading Mexico? Not that the US has any history invading others…

I have been leery of “deconstruction” language because we all have to build our lives on something. But Jesus did say things like: “you have heard it said, but I say to you” meaning there are things we have to unlearn in order to learn rightly. So what are we now constructing?

Sow today what you want to reap tomorrow and water in the present what you hope to harvest in the future!

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” -Galatians 6:9 NIV

[Ben Foley @BenFoley08]

One of the toughest part about ministry for any leader is the constant criticism they are subjected to. While some criticism is healthy or helpful, we get into ministry out of love for God & people. But we might want to get out of ministry because of people’s criticism. Endure.

Beware of those who always seem happy, who never get angry, who never show emotional range. Something is off with those too perfect. We often talk about controlling our emotions but there is another extreme of repressed emotion that isn’t normal, natural, or healthy.

[Ben Foley @BenFoley08]

Only Jesus can claim this level of obedience because only Jesus is perfect in love and righteousness.

[Ben Foley @BenFoley08]

Beware of any movement, cause, person, or church that claims to have all answers/calls for blind obedience to all its principles/ways without question/with full submission. Whatever/whoever it is; it is leading into controlling, cultish, abusive, & dangerous territory.

[Ben Foley @BenFoley08]

Beware of those who have no sense of humor and can’t laugh at themselves or take a joke. Humor is a sign of humility. Lack of humility is evidence of pride and self-righteousness. Humor is the first thing to go under controlling dictators and evidence of lack of freedom.

Taxes are criminal…all the main criminal when you see so many political clowns and crooks who truly don’t act or live like public servants and waste OUR tax money on frivolous and outrageous things that accomplish nothing nor true solutions to actual problems.

@JoeBiden How incredibly backwards to be more outraged about killing a bill than killing babies.

@gericalo I’ve read it. Still love the show.

Re-watched #RingsOfPower recently and I do not understand the critics! Season One was beautiful and brilliant! So many great characters, stories, and memorable/thought-provoking sayings. Can’t wait for Season Two!

If my “Smart Phone’s” Face ID can’t recognize my face in the morning then I shouldn’t have to get out of bed until it does…meaning 10:30am.
