This presentation that Voddie Baucham gave at an Answers in Genesis event is more relevant than ever . . . Voddie emphasizes the racial issues that arise when you embrace evolutionary thinking.

Jesus cared for the OUTSIDER.

This is what @BartEhrman (University of NC Chapel Hill) describes as the distinguishing factor of Jesus’ moral teachings – Jesus says to love the person in need with who you may have nothing in common. What’s special about Jesus’ doctrine is He says to love the outsider. Check out our full conversation here:

"The power of God’s word and message is best displayed when those who are rejected faithfully and ethically live in a manner that reflects Christ’s own rejection and faithfulness." ~ Darrell L. Bock, A Theology of Luke and Acts: Biblical Theology of the New Testament, 30.

The vast majority of pastors I have known were NOT financially well off.

When we are at that pivotal time of life where we are deciding to pursue pastoral ministry or some other kind of career, most of us have a very serious assessment of the idea that this means we will never be financially well off.

Don't get me wrong, I am absolutely for churches paying pastors a good salary (not an obnoxious one) but most pastors know that they step into this role in a way that results in them having less money and less capacity for financially providing.

When I first pursued my wife I felt it was important we had a serious talk about money. I let her know that their was a high likelihood (because I would pursue ministry) that we would never have a nice home or nice stuff. She needed to know that this was not something I would likely be able to provide. That's the reality that most pastors seem to face, at least most of the ones I have known on the small scale.

Yet they are commonly treated as if they did it for the money. Nope. That's the exception to the rule, not the rule. That's Benny Hinn. That's Creflo Dollar. That's not your local pastor.

The proper epitaph to write for the Christian believer is not a dismal uncertain petition, ‘R.I.P.’ … but a joyful and certain affirmation ‘C.A.D.’ (‘Christ abolished death’). ~John Stott

Good spiritual care is not about judging the dog. It is taking the time to learn what the dog means to the person and how that special relationship can be strengthened for the promotion of health. ~ Glenn Robitaille, “Inspiring Hope, " 134.

Loving like God loves will cost you, but it won’t hurt you.

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13, CSB

This still remains my most favourite review of our church.

The one who mocks the poor insults his Maker,
and one who rejoices over calamity will not go unpunished. ~Proverbs 17:5, CSB

[Roger Courville @JoinForTheHope]

Is this on the right path? "That person once said this questionable thing, therefore they're a heretic" & "That school has a couple questionable prof, therefore..." both fail at a level of nuance. Might we have a more generous orthodoxy?

[Roger Courville @JoinForTheHope]

@thedavidwolcott Love the CSB. It's become my primary reading Bible for personal devotions.

“What people consider the ideal image inevitably reflects their view of God and ultimate values whether it be shaped by a modern communications medium or by the medium of divine revelation.”

If you ever read through Revelation and wondered just how so many people could be so deceived, well…

[Greg Koukl @gregkoukl]

Everyone who faithfully follows Jesus will have to pay a price. That cost will be different for each believer, but eventually every one of us will have to take up his cross. It’s been rare in this country for someone to pay the ultimate price for fidelity to Christ as Charlie Kirk has done. It is not rare, though, for Christians in other parts of the world to lay down their lives today, nor has it been for disciples of Jesus for the last 2,000 years. Paul said that all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. Count the cost, keep your hand to the plow, and don’t look back.
