I’ve got the dream wife (Sarah), the dream kids (Joy, Sean, Katherine, Lucy, and Hannah), and the dream job (support @desiringGod and elder @NorthChurchMN).

October 10, 2007. The last email my Dad ever sent me. Makes me tear up with sorrow and gratitude every time.

[Bryan DeWire @BryanDeWire]

The Lord continues to meet and use Desiring God in remarkable ways for his name’s sake — our team just put together a page summarizing the ministry’s impact and ambitions. https://t.co/unHg05cQds

[Bryan DeWire @BryanDeWire]

Always nice to get a good picture together.

[Bryan DeWire @BryanDeWire]

If you can, please join us! Either way, I would love for you to pray for me. https://t.co/pl3y5TGlXY

This coming Saturday, March 21, I have the great honor of sharing at a Homeschool Made Simple seminar on “A Literature-Based Approach to Education.”

[Bryan DeWire @BryanDeWire]

All of these years later, we still use the same homeschool method, and we love it. I will join Carole’s son, J. J., for a breakout on “A Dad’s Role in Homeschooling,” and right now I have titled my section “3 Encouragements for Fathers.”

“We were reconciled to God by the death of his Son” (Romans 5:10).

What wondrous love! Lord, help us stand in awe at this good news every day.

[Bryan DeWire @BryanDeWire]

The God who breaks is the God who restores.

“Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that you have broken rejoice” (Psalm 51:8).

[Bryan DeWire @BryanDeWire]

“The heavens proclaim *his righteousness*, and all the peoples see *his glory*” (Psalm 97:6).

[Bryan DeWire @BryanDeWire]

Lord, give us ears to hear what the sky tells us every day.

“The heavens declare *the glory of God*, and the sky above proclaims *his handiwork*” (Psalm 19:1).

“The heavens declare *his righteousness*, for God himself is judge! Selah” (Psalm 50:6).

[Bryan DeWire @BryanDeWire]

Praise is from God and to God:

“Out of the mouth of infants and nursing babies you have prepared praise” (Matthew 21:16).

God is passionate about being praised.

[Bryan DeWire @BryanDeWire]

What a prayer!

“Say to my soul, ‘I am your salvation!’” —Psalm 35:3

Reminds me of Romans 8:16, “The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.”

Father, I believe you have saved me — please tell me that you have saved me!

[Bryan DeWire @BryanDeWire]

—Acts 20:18–21

[Bryan DeWire @BryanDeWire]

Serving the Lord with all humility and standing firm in biblical truth are not at odds.

[Bryan DeWire @BryanDeWire]

Paul: “You yourselves know how I lived among you, **serving the Lord with all humility** and with tears and with trials, and how **I did not shrink** from declaring to you anything that was profitable, testifying of repentance toward God and of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.”

[Bryan DeWire @BryanDeWire]

“I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not *cover* my iniquity; I said, ‘I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,’ and you forgave the iniquity of my sin.” —Psalm 32:5

[Bryan DeWire @BryanDeWire]

The Lord covers the sin of those who do not cover their sin.

“Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is *covered*.” —Psalm 32:1

[Bryan DeWire @BryanDeWire]

Do you regularly fight distraction? God has the power to make you pay attention:

“One who heard us was a woman named Lydia, who was a worshiper of God. *The Lord opened her heart to pay attention* to what was said by Paul” (Acts 16:14).

[Bryan DeWire @BryanDeWire]

From our salvation to our sanctification, God is passionate for his name.

“God first visited the Gentiles, to take from them a people *for his name*” (Acts 15:14).

“He leads me in paths of righteousness *for his name’s sake*” (Psalm 23:3).

[Bryan DeWire @BryanDeWire]

@Jfresh125 That’s Steven, a man full of rizz.

[Bryan DeWire @BryanDeWire]

“Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit.” —Acts 6:5

“Stephen, full of grace and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people.” —Acts 6:8

Lord, fill our churches with Stephens!
