“The suffering you’re going through is God kicking you into a new freedom from false definitions of who you are” texted Paul Zaul to @TullianT. God knew I needed to hear that in this new season in my life.
Thank you Brother Tullian for sharing your life with us.
I wanted to share what the Holy Spirit has been working in my heart and mind recently because I feel like the tongue is something that people don’t necessarily think on how impactful it directs our lives and our walk with God if we’re believers.
Yesterday I listened to a sermon from @Woodland_Hills when Pastor @greg_boyd preached on James 3:1-12 on #WatchYourMouth. Felt the #HolySpirit convict me - not always building others up, speaking the Truth of the Word, or my words aligning with the Word.
Thinking back to when I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior 19 years ago in the Spring 2007 semester in college to know, my words weren’t used to build others up (especially othe believers) and the Spirit used Pastor Greg’s words to remind me of how impactful my words could be.
Struggle in acceptance, struggle in accepting the sin I poured out onto this world and accepting that God doesn’t “fix things” as fast as I ought Him to “solve.” I say that in that, I believe, God wants us to see the sin in this world to see His grace, His love, His mercy.
“God isn’t in a rush to resolve things,” @TullianT preached on #DyingOutLoud preached in the B-Sides series covering John 11. Man, in my life and in my walk with Jesus, truer words haven’t been spoken during this struggle called life. Struggle in sin, struggle in sorrow.

“God loves us because He loves us.” - @TullianT#TheHoundOfHeaven
God’s love for us doesn’t make any sense to me either but we all need His love, His grace, His mercy, His favor, because we cannot do it on our own. No matter how hard we try, our sin makes us fall short.
@TullianT “The hard things in life are not God’s way of sticking it to you. We often mistake consequences for punishment. Bad decisions have consequences that run deep. Trust me.” @TullianT on Jonah 1:1-10 but also reflecting on life. #Relentless
"I love and I lust. I tell the truth and I lie. I live out in the open and I hide. I give and I take. I'm self-controlled and I'm reckless…. I am a bundle of contradictions. We all are. And the more we're able to admit this, the healthier we will be." @TullianT
