Being a pastor is hard to explain unless you’ve stood in the pulpit yourself.
One week you’re walking with a family through their darkest valley.
The next, they’re gone without a word.
You’ll be praised and misunderstood, often by the same people in the same month.
Some days you see God move and go home full. Other days you lie awake rehearsing every word, wondering what you missed.
Everyone has an opinion of how you should pastor. You quickly learn you cannot preach with one eye on the crowd.
But then..a soul saved, a marriage mended, a grieving heart given comfort.
And suddenly you remember why you answered the call.
Ministry is heavy. But it’s a high calling.
And it’s worth it all.
Bill Clinton: “Palestinians were offered a state on the entire West Bank and east Jerusalem as its capital. Israel accepted, but Palestinians refused. They did not care about a homeland for the Palestinians. All they wanted was to kill Israelis"
This must be shared every day.
Charlie Kirk on knowing if you have found the right church.
“You only need Jesus, or you believe you need Jesus, if you know you're off the mark.”
“You cannot talk about a Savior if you never talk about sin. And the modern church is afraid to talk about sin. Why?”
“Because I might judge somebody. I might offend somebody. To the modern church, happiness is the goal, judgment is the ultimate sin and God is just a guess.”
“In a true biblical church, God is the ultimate truth, holiness is the goal, and the greatest sin is blaspheming in the name of God and defiling the name of Jesus Christ.”
“That's how you know you're sitting in a Bible-based church.”
"You are going to hear a rumor one day that Voddie Baucham is no more. Don't you believe it! Don't you believe it. Don't you believe it. Because though I die I will rise with Christ."
Voddie Baucham preaching through tears about his eventual death.
“If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.” — John 15:18-19 ✝️
Charlie’s death reminds us: life is short, eternity is forever. May God raise up a generation unashamed of Christ, fearless in truth, and focused on eternity. 🙏
I used to find John MacArthur unbearable. He embodied everything I didn’t want to be.
I was young church planter. MacArthur wasn’t “cool.” He wore suits and didn’t seem nice.
But that all changed in 2020. The model of ministry I had adopted proved both unable and unwilling to meet the moment. With the full bloom of the cultural revolution, the “winsome witness” and “faithful presence” approaches were exposed as worthless.
And there stood Pastor MacArthur unflinching in the face of madness. A lone voice, it seemed. Unbothered by the critics. Courageous in the arena.
And I repented. I repented of my arrogance and of my own compromised approach.
May we all be uncool and not nice when the cultural arsonists rear their ugly heads.
The church doesn’t need more cool pastors. It needs men who are willing to be hated for the truth.
@elonmusk@elonmusk that is because the Bible has already informed us that really long term extinction will only be a reality in eternity- the redeemed to Heaven and the unredeemed to Hell
Do you ever think about eternity? There is so much uncertainty in our world, but one thing is certain - eternity lies ahead for every soul on earth. The good news is that you don’t have to live in fear! WATCH:
As the world’s highest IQ record holder, I analyzed every ideology and philosophy. I conclude that only Christianity provides a logically sound solution to the problem of evil, suffering, and salvation.
No matter how much Democrats want it to be true, the fact is bribery and appeasement does not work with fanatical, terrorist regimes like Iran.
Obama sent them pallets of cash.
Trump sent them Operation Midnight Hammer.
The days of weak American leadership are over.
