FIRM CONVICTION:

Churches should only be planted in order to reach new people who don't know Christ, not to rearrange existing Christians into smaller groupings.

One of my favorite follows.

The most broken dogs heal with just food, space, and care…at their pace.

We overcomplicate church bc people aren’t much different.

Myself and Rocky would like to wish you a happy Monday morning. He says he is going to attack the week.

His eyesight and weight getting better by the day. He says he loves being alive now ❤️

It’s the VC and you know it.

1- white gold + rubber is a choice. Made mostly by people who drink prune juice.

2- sick watch but oversaturated, this is the easiest pass for me.

3- yes.

4- gorgeous but I see meteorite dials all over & it doesn’t seem like you 😂 (been you for like 8 years so we’re basically roomies)

Pick the Tourbillon in steel, your grandkids will thank you.

I understand Forrest Frank isn’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea. I wouldn’t put him on my Mount Rushmore of greatest musicians.

But he’s my favorite artist.

Why? Well, you give me someone else who can have my 8 year old running around the house singing “Jesus is alive!” 🤷‍♂️

Don’t care what anyone says. This dude is helping advance the Kingdom with young people in a major way.

@lukedsimmons Man music makes or breaks the moment!

Mute the Up montage and all of a sudden I’m not 😭😭

I think the problem with pads are when they’re on autopilot.

Brother, the mania is the watch.

73 tabs open…airdropping price-cropped pics to the wife…hating on stuff I’ll never own…

What a rush.

The watch is just the receipt ⌚️

Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.

I feel A.

As a multisite video pastor you find yourself defending the method, selling the method, and living it.

(In a growing video site, it comes up biweekly.)

Since no one agrees on everything always, alignment matters far more than method. In this case at least.

A few problems:
1. That stat is made-up and passed on repeatedly with no scientific basis.
2. It assumes the sermon is a lecture. it is not.
3. It assumes the point of the sermon is basic information transfer. It is not.

@howertonjosh Shoutout to the Comms Team making it upbeat while talking to the guys, and putting the Notebook soundtrack while talking to ladies.

Elders: We don’t believe in sabbaticals. Our Pastor Greg hasn’t had a sabbatical in 13-years and he’s as strong as ever!

@Protestia Leave it to a Pastor THOMAS to have holes in his hands

[HelloitsJacob @HelloitsJacob]

“Unless I see in His hands the imprint of the nails…”

Pastor THOMAS

[Protestia @Protestia]

Pastor Scott Thomas accidentally sends as wooden dowel/ skewer through his hand for a sermon illustration, writing:

"Cindy and I spoke on “Building A Marriage” and used a wedding cake for our illustration. To close the teaching, we stressed that if we build our marriages outside of God’s order… the whole cake (marriage) crashed!

All went well… until I slammed the cake upside down and SURPRISINGLY DISCOVERED that the cake company had implanted a dowel inside to hold the cake layers together. 😳

When I slammed the cake upside-down the dowel pierced through the bottom of the cake and traveled completely through my hand! When I looked down… the dowel was sticking 5 inches out the back of my hand! I immediately pulled the stick out of my hand and tried to wrap my head around what just happened! 🤢

Cindy immediately slid me a towel… I wrapped my hand, finished the message and prayed to close out the session in the next 5 minutes. 😬"

@Seth_Troutt Would love this!

[HelloitsJacob @HelloitsJacob]

Ha that’s a great idea. All I know is they’re not doing ruthless elimination of hurry 🫣
