It's all about Jesus, family, church, cricket, trout, mountain(top) views.
Basically in that order.

"Our churches tend to live on a starvation diet of personal affirmation. Let's risk a more generous tone of delight in one another"

Is this a particularly British trait?

Tonnes more wise counsel from @rayortlund that I wish I'd heard long ago.

@EricNelsOrtlund Please do recommend!

@EricNelsOrtlund I regret not learning Hebrew. How can you rectify that when you're in the thick of pastoral ministry?

A tale of two leaders.

In this case, a picture truly is worth 1,000 words.

If you were sick, poor, sexually damaged, or paralyzed by guilt and shame, Jesus would move toward you and tell you what nobody else would: you matter.

What if all churches became known for the same?

I was asked to share 3 truths for trainee pastors. What should they know about evangelism...

@rayortlund Praying for its recovery - and yours!

[Dane Ortlund @daneortlund]

The neglected ministry of encouragement!

Specific and sincere words of life to another image-bearing creature in this life-sucking world that is constantly beating us down—not to mention our own internal thought world with all its accusations and belittlings.

@dansteel77 @MRCOxford @SamAllberry @rayortlund @TGC Glad to know I'm not the only one riding in the slip stream from that podcast. I'm starting a new series - 'Distinctive' this Sunday (Jn. 13:31) cos I'm so persuaded by the need to connect what we believe with what we do.

Let's start saying it and keep saying it, until we start doing it.

Preach it brother!

@ChrisHowles Rule? What rule?! I think this looks great fun!
What did the locals make of it?

[Jamie Read @JamieRead76]

@rayortlund Many congratulations on the big 50th and a big thank you for the very public way you encourage so many through your example and writing. God be praised!

Gospel doctrine: If anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous
(1Jn2:1)

Gospel culture: *Little children*...if anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous

2 words make the difference. No scolding for a start!

[Jamie Read @JamieRead76]

I love this...

[Glen Scrivener @glenscrivener]

Christians believe in the virgin birth of Jesus. Materialists believe in the virgin birth of the cosmos. Choose your miracle.

[Chris Green @Greenfarmhouse]

A surprisingly foolish suggestion from a Wise Man, in my experience...

[Jamie Read @JamieRead76]

@Greenfarmhouse That is seriously good, Chris!

[Jamie Read @JamieRead76]

What a story and what a gospel we have ...
