No spiritual discipline can make God love you.
It’s too late for that. God already loves you.
But spiritual disciplines helps us to live in God's love, and offer it to others.
@TexasPreacher You say, “I have no issue with women being theologically competent, but I don't think seminary is the route for this.”
And yet Macrina taught her brothers, Basil & Gregory of Nyssa. Jerome trained Paula in Greek & Hebrew. Origen wrote theology for women. 🤔
I love that on the 1st Pentecost Sunday, it is the Apostle Peter who preaches. This same Peter had just denied Jesus a few weeks earlier.
The Holy Spirit is not a reward for good behavior & unwavering faith. The Holy Spirit is a gift to those who turn to Jesus & wait on him.
One week after Easter, we’re still celebrating resurrection—this time in the lives of our team. Eight student-athletes and one assistant coach were baptized on Saturday. What a powerful picture of new life they have in Christ!

When you feel overwhelmed in exposing truth, remember this: people are sacred, created in the image of God. Systems are not. They are only worth the people in them and the people they serve. And people are to be treated, whether one or many, the way Jesus Christ treated people.
Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.
Rejoice and be glad because great is your reward in heaven.
- Jesus
GOD IS SO GOOD 💛
There is nothing better than watching teammates declare their public professions of faith and getting baptized! This team is special and we are so proud of Abi & Sadie and their lifelong decision to follow God 👏

@Lorien78@beyoncegarden This is Thorncrown Chapel in Eureka Springs Ark. I got married it and checked it against my photos. There is a similar chapel in Hot Springs, Ark. But I believe this is Thorncrown.
@DixieBecca Cutting it out of the shelter with a machete while everyone was within 5 feet of her, not playing it too early. That is not "luck." #survivor47
I propose we move from “you can’t be a true Christian if you vote for ________”
to…
You can’t be a true Christian if you don’t follow the Sermon on the Mount.
