Praise God he has more churches in your town than just yours! If people are leaving for immature reasons, you might encourage them to reconsider; but you also might affirm your love for them, tell them they’re welcome to come back, and bless them as they go.

@geekyjenise No need to feel sorry about that before any of us, especially me, since I never mind it and will always only see them as points to add in my prayers for you 😊
The apex of human dignity.
Jonathan Edwards (1720): “How hath he honored us, in that he hath made us to glorify and enjoy him to all eternity; how are we dignified by our Maker, who hath made us for so high and excellent an end! He has made other creatures for his own glory, but they are passive in it: the sun glorifies God by shining, and the trees by growing, and all things by performing the laws of nature which God has given them. But God has made us actually to glorify, to behold his excellencies and to admire them, and to be made forever happy in the enjoyment of them.”
“Fog machines are not as important as knowing your doctrinal statement and what you’re about...” Revisit this episode with Jeff Medders of @MBTS for our Season One Rewind! Link below.
A thin, faint line separates wanting to do great things for the kingdom and wanting to be great in the kingdom.
A rather thin line likewise separates wanting to think great thoughts and wanting to be thought great.
New post- The Other Scandal of the Evangelical
Mind 👇
When Christianity is reduced to purely individual, personal spirituality (and this has been a characteristic error in much evangelicalism) an important aspect of historic Christianity is being disregarded or lost.
@LigonDuncan
Analytic outline of the Xian catechism:
1. God alone is man’s highest good
2. Love of God is man’s highest duty
3. B/c man does not yet possess his highest good, he must hope in God to receive it
4. Faith in God alone is the ground of man’s hope of receiving his highest good
@geekyjenise In the sense that not many in Christian Twitter (who i have come across, atleast) would casually post about Zelda, Fullmetal Alchemist, etc. alongside the Christian stuff the way you do
“If God has laid your sins upon the Son of His love, you may rest assured that He will never lay them a second time upon you; since, if Christ has borne them and atoned for them to Divine justice, they never again can be found.”
