just stumbled on a real jaw-dropper of a line in an essay -- “The corollary of being interested in a great range of things is to have sympathy with a great range of outlooks” -- and that, my friends, is why reading is so important.

In children's church today, we talked about creation and how everything God made is a good gift.

I asked, "I wonder what we should do with God's gift?"

And one little girl said, "We should enjoy it."

Amen and amen.

My calling is about obedience to the will that God has for my life.

I am a pastor - who happens to be a woman.

Let’s talk about women in ministry. 🧵 Joel 2:28-29 “& afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons & daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. Even on my servants, both men & women, I will pour out my Spirit…”

[elise snowden @EliseSnowden]

Jesus has been calling women to ministry since the women discovered the empty tomb.

My calling is not about my gender. My calling is not about elevating myself. My calling is not about a cultural or political agenda.

Christian theology is devoted to speaking the gospel. When it deals with things like sin, it does so as a way of speaking the gospel. But sin isn't the story's logic; the gospel is. It isn't about parsing what 'counts' as sin as much as pointing to the beauty of freedom from sin.
