One of the fiercest discipleship forces on Christian's is the ever-present visibility of the two party political system of Us vs. Them. The daily news, attention grabbing posts, the loudest influencers characterize opponents in the worst ways possible & declare false choices.
Being at #SBC2025 I am reminded there’s a lot more positive about the #SBC than negative. From orthodoxy to orthopraxy it is an honor and joy to be a Southern Baptist!
@BenMandrell thank you for your ministry and service to Southern Baptists! I miss brick and mortar stores too. If you manage to bring them back, make them cool and serve good coffee so we can hang out there! I used to buy from Lifeway on purpose to support.
@ChickfilA I love you. You need to make this a thing. One of your stores made it for me once but apparently they weren’t supposed to because I can’t seem to get another. It was like catching lightning in a bottle. Behold— Peach Frosted Lemonade. It can even be seasonal :-)
So @ChickfilA, we just gonna act like you didn’t see my tweet about your next summer sensation, the Peach Frosted Lemonade? 🍑 🍋 🍦 it’s been done at least once. We can do it again. I believe in you.
I’m not trying to make myself seem more important than I am but I just went to @ChickfilA and asked them to make me a peach frosted lemonade and they did it. Just like that they have completely change my life once again.
@carvana sold me a 2019 Jeep Cherokee on 9.18.22. 118 days ago. Apparently their warranty is 100 days and 4K something miles. We've driven it just over 9K miles The transmission died in it yesterday. They say there's nothing they can do. Just doesn't seem right. :-(
Happy Monday Preachers!
It’s so important that we feed the sheep. Do the work. Serve the best plate you can for your family. Sure, some people will kick the food around the plate & only nibble around the edges like a toddler & make you think you can’t cook but others will feast.
1980s: “self-esteem” movement
1990s: “self-made” movement
2000s: “self-help” movement
2010s: “believe in yourself” movement
2020s: “self-love” movement
It’s all the same humanism wearing different masks. You were created to trust in Someone bigger than ‘self’. His name is Jesus.
Normal SBC pastor: I love being a part of the SBC and supporting mission work theough the Cooperative Program.
Twitter SBC: YOU GOTTA BE OUTRAGED OVER WHAT I’M OUTRAGED ABOUT OR YOU’RE A HERETIC!!!
Me: I like normal SBC pastors.
I’ve personally seen more college students and teenagers be saved by Jesus in the last 3 years, than the previous 15 years of ministry combined!
Why?
They’re realizing the world is broken and they’re broken, so they’re looking for a solution!
Jesus is the solution. Preach Him!
“Becoming a Christian means resigning your role as the main character in a movie about you and taking up a supporting role in a movie about Jesus.” @jdgreear@SummitRDU
Social media is proof that many Christians don’t have a problem with boldness. Often, we’re just bold about lesser important things.
Be bold with the Gospel.
That is what will change hearts, lives, and communities.
