“There is one unfolding plot from Genesis to Revelation. Although there are distinctive subplots, they too feed ultimately into the drama that begins with the promise of a Satan-crushing Redeemer in Genesis 3:15 and ends with the "Hallelujah Chorus" in the book of Revelation.”

“The inner-city minority missionary often has a small network of relationships with capital, which leads to the ministry being undercapitalized”

@joshjreynolds Yeah, Josh I saw that. However, I’m from there and I’m sure that it was organized crime aka intentional.

@abrahamcho I understand you brother, keep this conversation going.

The baby born,
is the Christ crucified.

The baby crying,
is the Christ who cried, “It is finished.”

The baby sleeping,
is the Christ who rose from the dead.

The gospel of Christmas is incomplete without the cross and resurrection of Christ.

[Dustin Benge @DustinBenge]

What does the incarnation of Christ teach us?

1. God is not a distant ruler.
2. God takes the initiative.
3. God has an eternal plan.
4. God reveals Himself in Christ.
5. God provides a way to Himself.
6. God demonstrates His love to us.
7. God loves to rescue sinners.

“Healthy churches don't typically grow by leaps and bounds, through splashy initiatives and clever strategies. They grow like trees—slow, steady, strong, with small but certain rings to show for each passing year of faithful collective ministry”

“Reformed theology is biblical but reformed culture is deformed, especially on social issues”

“ I got into church planting because I wanted to be a disciple and make disciples of Jesus. Instead, I encountered a system that largely measured success in terms of attendance, budgets, and buildings”
