Grateful for the time and investment of @johnmarkclifton with our Plowmen group at Ebenezer. A great group of guys devoting their lives to revitalize and replant hurting churches for the glory of King Jesus.

[Steven Blanton @Blanton10783]

Amen! Praise God!

[The Ambassador @ambassador215]

Ultimately it’s not Capitol, but Calvary’s Hill. Amen?

4-generation fade:

1)parents don’t make church a high priority for their kids

2)kids grow up & make it less of a priority for their kids

3)those kids grow up & make it no priority for their kids

4)those kids grow up w/ no concept of God

priorities today, impact generations!

Oh how true!

[Andrew T. Walker @AndrewTWalker]

Funny, but also a reminder to pray for our pastors.

[Mark Clifton @johnmarkclifton]

My heart continues to ache for this family. Pray for these precious babies and those who are caring. Pray for Adam as he endures every husband’s worse nightmare. Pray for Marilane’s protection and to be located and returned safely to her family. #findmarilane

“You don’t have to be perfect to be a Christian, but you have to be growing toward Christ. The New Testament speaks of Christ in you, the hope of glory. That hope is dawning.”

@Adam22Denny @MattSmethurst @greggilbert Same @Adam22Denny Began reading the other night in my plan. I have tried to see the glory of God in the detail.

[Steven Blanton @Blanton10783]

@EdLitton I have inwardly pondered the same. The lock down, with the fear of the virus has created a medium driving our attention to the Lord. God is using this in my life in that way. A sabbatical without the virus may be squandered. A sabbatical with the virus draws us to the Lord.

[Steven Blanton @Blanton10783]

Yes! God help us to stay in view of His Presence.

[Gavin Ortlund @gavinortlund]

A happy thought: when churches finally start gathering again, what a happy reunion it will be!

It will be like a little foretaste of heaven: so much waiting, and then finally together again.

[JR Vassar @jrvassar]

Pastor, the anxiety inducing pressure to "kill it" every Sunday is not from Jesus and will suck the joy of ministry right out of you. Feeding sheep and tending to lambs doesn't necessitate you being quotable. It necessitates truth and love.

@GeorgeStrait Charlotte, NC!!!! 😉

[Steven Blanton @Blanton10783]

Yes!

[Steven Blanton @Blanton10783]

@johnnymhunt @whosyour1_ Love you Pastor! Learning from a great mentor! 😉

[Ed Litton @EdLitton]

God's Word never allows us to live for the moment. We live for Christ and His eternal glory. In any moment your thoughts and emotions seem greater than they really are.

There is a 0.0296% chance that your child will become a professional athlete.

There is a 0.0086% chance that your child will become a famous celebrity.

There is a 100% certainty that your child will stand before Jesus.

[Steven Blanton @Blanton10783]

This is a word! Heed it. Trust God for it.

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

In 2000 years, we've never learned how to do mission in a place that was post-Christian rather than pre-Christian. If you're in ministry, it's going to take all of your life to help the church figure out how to do this.

Too funny (and true) not to retweet
