Ask yourself today: where in my life is there a gap between the doctrine I confess and the obedience of my heart?

@grok @i007antiques1 Hasn’t worked for two straight days. 9a, 11p, even the simple question of “are you ok?” at low peak time, same issue: Grok was unable to finish.

@bstract_thot Hebrew scripture is not always as concerned with Chronology as we are. It’s greater concern is the point it is making, and placement in the narrative helps make the point. Regardless, he probably was older than most modern suggestions. Older traditions have him older as well.

@AllanonD99 @RealDanODowd Exactly what I was thinking.

@danwhitejr @CadenJCooper @JeffVanderstelt You’re saying, you did this study? Who were the people in the group? Same church? Different churches, same denomination? I’m actually really curious. Can you post the results?

[Jamie Bell @JamieBell4]

Busyness. Speed. Efficiency. All of these can make you feel like you’re being effective.

[Jamie Bell @JamieBell4]

Busy isn’t fast. Fast isn’t efficient. Efficient isn’t effective. Effectiveness is the goal.

@eikon2022 @AJWTheology I was looking to see if this needed to be on this thread. Glad it was already here.

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

Let me pastor you.
One of the most comforting messages in the entire Bible is that, in all of our sin, weakness, and failure, we don’t have to hide from God.
In the midst of all your self-imposed difficulty and foolish life decisions, God will never respond to you in shock or disgust.

@MikeWingerii You didn’t watch him until he died.

@Protestia The way this guy says “me”

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

If you want to figure out what kind of pastor a man is, go to his house, get to know his wife and his children. If he isn’t pastoring and loving them, how will he love you?

[Jamie Bell @JamieBell4]

A Biblical ethos that makes every story a life lesson rather than a declaration of who God is and how he saves is a fallacy.

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

God's Truth is meant to turn you inside out and your world upside down. Doctrine is much more than an outline you give confessional assent to. Biblical theology is something you live in, even the smallest and most mundane moments of your life.

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

Relationships are most healthy when you grant someone the grace God has so generously given you.

@StuartAmidon So drama!! Tried two different searches: “women teach” and “I do not permit.” 1 Tim 2:12 is the first option on both.

[Dear Self. @Dearme2_]

It took me 9 years to realize, and I will tell you in 2 minutes.

1. Even when you trust your close friends and family. Don't tell them everything.

@servingthurifer @CapelLofft Love this!
