Pastoral authority is like wasabi...you better be careful when you use it...even a little bit has a tendency to burn! Sometimes it is needed, but most of the time it should be left on the shelf.

Flattery and gossip are fraternal twins birthed by Satan at the fall and the tools that he has used for centuries to destroy the unity of God’s people.

So...I just learnt that learnt is an appropriate alternate spelling for learned...is this new information for anyone else?

Anybody heading to the 9Marks weekender in March? I am looking to share the cost of a VRBO or a hotel...taking it for Seminary credit. @9marks @MarkDever @chbcdc

@MarkDever Fantastic book for our family. Got the kids version as well!

Sin blinds us to the real issue. A person, blinded by sin, blinded by pride, is tempted to view his/her marriage as the problem rather than his/her own sin as the problem.

Prayer isn’t about “doing it right,” it’s about humbly having a helpless, dependent conversation with your Father.

Jesus is always stronger than your faith.

[Joe Fant @FantJoe]

Our Christian life is characterized by faith. It is faith alone that saves us and it is the life of faith that characterizes the genuine believer.

[Joe Fant @FantJoe]

It is a blessing to be able to be able to devote each morning to prayerfully studying the Word. A special thanks to my wonderful wife and everyone at CBC South Bend who understands this priority and makes this possible.

[Joe Fant @FantJoe]

So true. Great article. "It is time for the church to rediscover the preeminence of the Word. And to value the teaching of the Word. We need to value truth over feeling." https://t.co/QqREintsfw

The one who lives in dependent faith in God will express this faith by consistent, dependent prayer to God.

Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord. Ps 32:10

If you’re one of those who thinks pastors whine too much and work too little, I want to share with you some reasons you may not have considered that pastoral work really is different. https://t.co/MrNi7BKH9Q

If you have problems loving others, your real issue is your lack of love for God.

[Joe Fant @FantJoe]

Those who love God supremely love others sacrificially.

[Joe Fant @FantJoe]

It is impossible to keep both Christ and yourself at the center of your life. One will win.
