This resonates.
"today, 70 percent of doctors work as salaried employees of large hospital systems or corporate entities, taking orders from admins and executives who do not always share their values or priorities."

Godliness is not evidenced by gifting or words alone but by spiritual maturity — a consistent demonstration in one’s character of Christlikeness.

Christian, we are called to be humble servants and loving neighbors; in so being, we imitate Christ and make Him known-- not just in word, but (primarily) in deed-- for He came serving and loving people and sends us out to do likewise!

[Dan White Jr. @danwhitejr]

Some of the fiercest discipleship working on Christians is the ever-present visibility of the two party political system, pitted against each other, Us vs. Them, characterizing others in the worst possible ways.

So many are taking their cues for how to engage from this example.

“One of the biggest temptations in our world today is to dehumanize those we disagree with… Not only does it harm the other person we’re bullying or mocking, but I think there’s something that’s being lost in our own soul flourishing,” said @EugeneCho.

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” - Ephesians 2:10

[Scotty Smith @ScottyWardSmith]

3 questions Jack Miller taught me to ask in any situation. 1. What will “faith expressing itself in love” look like here? 2. How does this challenge reveal my need for God’s grace and repentance? 3. If I don’t choose to trust my Father, what are my options?

[Glenn Packiam @gpackiam]

67% of the world's Christians live in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Oceania, compared to 11% who live in America and Canada.

Much of our problem with "the church" is from our vantage point of the church in America. Our pain is real, but our perspective needs to be bigger.
