If the Christian life has felt exhausting lately, this is for you. God never designed it to be a straining, self-powered effort. True rest is found in yielding to the Helper He sent. https://t.co/GGNcBdzG32

Adam hid in a garden. Jesus stood His ground in one. When soldiers came to arrest Him, His words alone knocked them flat. He was not captured — He chose to surrender. That changes everything. Read the devotional: https://t.co/eNcBQndSHu

@LostMyHats Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers.

@newkingej @DavidLimbaugh To my reading, Ezekiel 36 sets the future land promises clearly in a new covenant context. Look at the whole chapter, but especially Ezekiel 36:24.

Jesus said it plainly: it is to your advantage that He went away. Why? Because the Helper came. The Holy Spirit is not a consolation prize — He is the gift Christ promised. Read today's devotional at https://t.co/GGNcBdzG32

Grant, I think that Mike’s series on women in ministry was solid, and I don’t think it has been “refuted.” To focus in on the one specific claim that “We know that Phoebe was a teacher and a leader in the NT church because she carried Paul’s letter to the Romans” - as I wrote before, I am not aware of ANY evidence for this, and I have yet to hear any of its proponents cite any evidence. No early church writing, no Roman historical citation, no reference to a Jewish custom or practice that supports the idea “the courier was commonly understood to be the chief reader/intepreter/teacher of the letter they carried.” If there is evidence for this, I would love to hear it - but until then, it’s just an unfounded claim. I find this to be one of many weaknesses found in egalitarian claims.

@MikeWingerii @RELEVANT I am not aware of any evidence for the astonishing claim that in the 1st century Roman era it was a given that the courier of a letter would also be its reader, teacher, and chief interpreter. I have yet to come across an advocate of this idea who supports it with any evidence.

@YourCalvinist Keith, this is an interesting issue. On the one side we have several "spontaneous baptisms" in Acts. On the other we have early Christian practice afterwards that emphasized time, discipleship, and examination. I think it is one of those issues that can be argued either way!

👉🏻 Of the many pictures of the relationship between God and His people, the vine and branch picture emphasizes complete dependence and the need for constant connection. The branch depends on the vine even more than the sheep depends on the shepherd or the child depends on the father. As Jesus was about to depart from His disciples, this was important encouragement. He would remain united to them and they to Him as truly as branches are connected to the main vine.

@SavagelyAvg I love the looks on their faces.
[Smiling] "Oh, let's talk while we're dancing."
[Thinking] "Why does this careless woman want to talk while's we're dancing? This is very concerning and does not appeal to me at all."

@philipnation That’s hard to hear! The struggle is real.

@dominicptaranto @CovenantReform2 Which covenant?

@SavagelyAvg There were even worse options

The command is to respect the seventh day (Saturday) as a day of rest (you shall do no work). This rest was for all of Israel – for the son and the servant and the stranger – even including cattle.
