How do you spell Reynolda?

Painful realization 3yrs ago that I was becoming an anti-pharisaical Pharisee. Our prayer often goes: “thank you God I’m not like those un-nuanced, un-irenic, judgmental, narrow-minded, bigoted Christians!”
Little wonder we’re ALL told to watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees.

Jesus is the great upender, because the Kingdom of God operates on a different value system than the kingdom of this world. This is what makes Him so disruptive; and this is what makes Him so magnetic. We are meant to live in close orbit to Him: https://t.co/QD0C1M8j1j

Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.

I’ve heard it said many times that you give a man fish and he can eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he can eat for lifetime as a way to talk about personal responsibility.

But what happens when he only has access to a bad fishing rods and his only pond is contaminated?

So important how we carry ourselves as followers and representatives of Jesus!

An important stat to remember in the overall data results:
“Responses were received from people in 28 states and in the District of Columbia. However, about 36 percent of the responses came from individuals who listed their residency as Winston-Salem.”

I had lots of questions after reading "The Color of Compromise." Thanks to @JemarTisby for this honest conversation about racism and the U.S. church. https://t.co/TKVH7akyLr

“White Americans left the Negro on the ground & in devastating numbers walked off w/the aggressor. It appeared that the white segregationist & the ordinary white citizen had more in common w/one another than either had w/the Negro.”
Hard to hear but we must wrestle with this

Almighty God, whose word is authority and power and whose way is love, grant unto us today clear minds, understanding hearts, and willing spirits so that we may wisely appropriate your word of truth. In the name of Christ. Amen.

This is really awful and incredibly tone-deaf and offensive to veterans, their families and all who serve. Come on SNL, do better.

Jesus told His disciples that whenever they welcomed and invited in a lowly stranger, they welcomed Him (and, alternately, whenever they shut the stranger out, they shut him out as well—and would be judged harshly). https://t.co/nYwjmrs2UC

“To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God. It is what we need more than anything.” - Tim Keller

The sickest person I have ever read about is running for office in Virginia. What is going on with our country?

[chuck spong @chuckspong]

Profound insight with needed prophetic edge.
Church, we must wake from our comfortable slumber and be the loving and subversive force that Jesus modeled and that the whole of Scripture unmistakably and unequivocally call us to. https://t.co/9r77TcVdd5

Go watch episode 3 of Explained on Netflix. God help us understand each other

In the end, faith comes not from indoctrination from the outside, but from the Spirit of God bursting out from inside us.

“Enemy-occupied territory---that is what this world is. Christianity is the story of how the rightful king has landed, you might say landed in disguise, and is calling us to take part in a great campaign of sabotage.”

1 conversation at a time is what it takes to transform our minds. Once our minds have been transformed then we can do the easy work of transforming our world...

Every so often, I meet up w/@garygunderson so he can tell me Im not crazy to be doing this @loveoutloudWS gig. His response:
"Well-adjusted people never change anything.W-S's biggest problem is WAY too many well-adjusted people who are adjusted to things that should make us weep"
