We are all being formed by something. The people we are around, the things we see, hear, watch, read are forming us into their image.
You become what you behold.
When is the last time you looked deep into your heart and your surroundings to see what you are becoming?
This Advent, let’s not gather around the name of Jesus while ignoring the ways of Jesus.
Love your neighbor
Remember the poor
Care for the prisoner
Feed the hungry
Welcome the stranger
Deliver the oppressed
And rise for the marginalized.
God waits for us there.
@JackFitz_23 Northwestern has 1 win, only scored 104 points all year, and it was a 21-7 finish…
Tech was fighting for bowl eligibility in a rivalry game. 37-14 point game with a garbage time TD for Tech. Not the same 🤣🤦♂️
@NCdoubleO@NFLFantasy The Henry side of that trade is way better. He has the best schedule moving forward. Not too mention Fournette isn’t the starter anymore and ARSB is a stud
Escaping to heaven after we die is not the point or meaning of the Gospel.
Jesus embodied heaven everywhere he went and changed lives along the way.
He didn’t promise new life later. New life is here now.
Discipleship is not just a program to join or a metric to count.
It’s a friendship to behold.
“No longer do I call you servant.
I call you friend” — Jesus
Pastors, our ultimate aim isn't the conference circuit, but the counseling room, the hospital bed, the graveside, the local church, being faithful in the daily little things, the ordinary life of a servant.
“For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?”

When popularity or influence is the end game, you will never reach your destination.
