Churches that do not understand grace tend to preach about the sins of others, not their own. Since their sense of security comes from confidence in their obedience, rather than in God's mercy, lessons about their own shortcomings are avoided because they cause a crisis of faith.

[M.A. Franklin @FoundationDads]

Wall-E is celebrated, or dismissed, as environmentalist propaganda. But it's doing something much more interesting.

It subverts its surface-level message and glorifies Man's dominion over creation.

Once you read this, you'll never look at Wall-E the same way again.

Theology 101:

In one column list all passages about the promise of dying and going to heaven.

In another column do the same for the promise of bodily resurrection.

Now adjust your preaching, teaching, singing, and evangelism accordingly.

[Jonathan Ledbetter @JonLedbetter278]

@Logos All the above!

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

I’m not sure we Christians realize how fragile we make the gospel of Jesus look when we act as though it is threatened by every cultural and political shift.

[Dr. Michael J. Svigel @Svigel]

Theology 101: A gospel message without the glorious bodily resurrection of Christ and of Christians is a false gospel with no hope.

Proclaim resurrection.

Proclaim hope.

“To the honor of womanhood it must forever be said: a woman was closest to the cross on Good Friday, and first at the tomb on Easter Morn.”

Obeying Jesus' command, "Do not resist the one who is evil" can feel like being complicit with evil. But it's not. When we respond to evil with love, we're actually participating in the overthrow of evil. Overcoming evil with good is the way of heaven's kingdom.

Theology 101:
Some need to be reminded that the God of the rainbow is the God of the flood.
Others need to be reminded that the God of the flood is the God of the rainbow.

The greatest stumbling block for a child in worship is a parent who does not.

How you speak truth is just as important as the truth you speak.

[Dr. Michael J. Svigel @Svigel]

Theology 101: It's foolish to expect unbelievers to think, speak, and act like Christians, but it’s right to expect Christians to think, speak, and act like believers.

[Matt Smethurst @MattSmethurst]

Moralism rewards the strong.
The gospel resurrects the dead.

[Zach W. Lambert @ZachWLambert]

Christianity should sound a lot less like…

“Who is allowed to go to heaven?”

And a lot more like…

“How can I help bring heaven to earth?”

[Wes McAdams @wesmcadams]

Today is a day to empathize with all those who’ve had their lives ransacked by the heartless thief known as death. They’ve been robbed of that which was most precious. Today we sit in silence, recognizing what is and anticipating what will be. Sunday is coming.

[Jonathan Ledbetter @JonLedbetter278]

YES!
