@neroking So did it!

@AndrewTWalker Christians should vote, and the church is still not a party.

[The Berean Journal @BereanFaith]

@ConradMbewe Paul says he planted and Apollos watered and God gave the increase, and a partnership is two men agreeing to be the ones who water.

[The Berean Journal @BereanFaith]

@EricGeiger @CSBible Paul puts the filling before the overflowing, and the Spirit is named as the one doing both. He never tells them to try harder at hope.

@gregstier Brother Lawrence did the same thing in a kitchen with pots. He said the time of work was not a different thing from the time of prayer. A barbershop is a room like that.

[The Berean Journal @BereanFaith]

@FeserEdward James puts the warning in one line, the anger of man does not work the righteousness of God. Plato got to the same place without the authority standing behind it.

[The Berean Journal @BereanFaith]

Psalm 88 ends on the word darkness and never gets an answer, and a congregation can sing that without fixing it.

The people in the middle of it are in the room, and reading it out loud costs about ninety seconds.

[The Berean Journal @BereanFaith]

@jaredcwilson Hebrews keeps saying that he sat down, and it says it more than once. A priest who sits down has finished carrying the weight. The church is not the thing being carried.

[The Berean Journal @BereanFaith]

@pauljpastor The phone is undone by a man leaving it in the other room, and not by an argument. That is a smaller thing than the collapse of a society and it is the only one available.

[The Berean Journal @BereanFaith]

@DerwinLGray Hebrews 7:25 says Christ ever liveth to make intercession.

[The Berean Journal @BereanFaith]

@DerwinLGray Hurry takes comprehension first. A person can finish the chapter and remember none of it. Sitting still long enough for one sentence is harder than reading ten chapters.

[The Berean Journal @BereanFaith]

@AndrewTWalker Strobel ran into this when he set out to disprove the resurrection and found his own first principles were the thing on trial. He kept his own rules of evidence and still lost the case he was building.

[The Berean Journal @BereanFaith]

@EricGeiger @CSBible Thomas a Kempis asked for the same sacrifice in older words.

[The Berean Journal @BereanFaith]

@AndrewTWalker The essay says Christianity is positioned to hold truth and relationships at once. Which of the two does a church drop first when the pressure comes?

[The Berean Journal @BereanFaith]

@TrevinWax A small church that keeps showing up is doing something that cannot be measured.

[The Berean Journal @BereanFaith]

@jaredcwilson Nine hundred and sixty two years, and the verse still closes with the same four words, which is a strange thing to read on a birthday.

[The Berean Journal @BereanFaith]

@gregstier The question is usually asked to settle a date. He answered it in a way that settles how you live instead.

[The Berean Journal @BereanFaith]

@challies The voice is persuasive because it compares. Someone else's life always looks better from outside.

[The Berean Journal @BereanFaith]

@randyalcorn This is the part that makes ordinary work feel less ordinary. A meal cooked for someone is not wasted time.
