There are questions people ask to get answers and there are questions people ask to avoid answers.

Small but Dangerous!

In aviation, pilots are taught the 1 in 60 rule, which states that after 60 miles, a one-degree error from your heading will result in being off course by one mile at arrival. Which means the lake you planned to fly over could turn out to be a mountain.

The same applies life. We often marginalize the effect of small things - Ignoring a poor health sign, taking a child's bad behavior lightly, not stopping that addiction at an early stage, etc. Though they appear small at the start, their Impact grows overtime positive or negative.

In the words of Ernest Hemingway, "How did you go bankrupt? Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly."

Small little variations from our desired direction compound with time and distance.

Watch them carefully.

Many of us who grew up in the church were handed very good things, but with handles that break:

- we were taught to hold the Word of God, with the handles of legalism

- to hold a holistic, integrated sexual ethic, with the handles of purity culture

Some repeated themes I've seen in our tributes about Tim Keller are that he was approachable, humble, kind, gentle, and genuinely interested in others. He was eager to listen. He wasn't entitled, haughty, or proud. I pray we imitate him as he imitated Jesus.

[The Gospel Coalition @TGC]

“If you’re falling off a cliff, strong faith in a weak branch is fatally inferior to weak faith in a strong branch. Salvation is not finally based on the strength of your faith, but on the object of your faith.”

[Russell Moore @drmoore]

The death of @timkellernyc is an incalculable loss to the church, the world, to those of us who loved him, those of us he helped in our darkest hours.

This is gain for Tim, now in the presence of Christ. He need no longer explain the reason for God, just to enjoy him forever.

“What would you say to a young Christian who is nervous about the future?”

Beautiful answer from @TimKellerNYC (1950–2023). His faith is now sight.

[John Starke @john_starke]

When Tim Keller spoke and referenced a dozen different authors that made him interesting. But his secret and experiential life with God made him spiritually electric. His intelligence made him compelling but his inner life was what made his sermons feel like a burning bush.

Remember when I tried to answer the question of why ugali became mainstream in the Kenyan diet?

I wasn't specific enough, but I went back to history books and now I have a more specific answer.. Short thread👇🏾

Roman Empire: 'You Christians are too exclusive. You threaten the social order because you won’t honor all deities.'

Modern West: 'You Christians are too exclusive. You threaten the social order because you won’t honor all identities.

It’s amazing how popular and entrenched these completely false ideas are. It’s good to prepare yourself with answers to these kinds of assertions so that you can try to point people to the reliability and authenticity of the Bible.

For #1: We still have Greek and Hebrew manuscripts of the Bible. We aren’t stuck with only translations of translations of translations. We can determine with a great deal of accuracy what the original wording is.

For #2: There are a number of texts someone could be talking about here. But none of them has any remote chance of being authentic. They come far later than the real New Testament, were not written by apostles or those who followed them, and were never “part of the Bible.” If we care about what books “belong” then we all need to admit that these ones don’t.

For #3: You can ask them to offer evidence to support their claim. There isn’t any. Consider the various persecutions Christians suffered from Rome for hundreds of years due to the government of the time considering Christianity a threat to their order.

For #4: We have documents from the council of Nicaea. They didn’t even deal with the topic of the books of the Bible. This popular belief is simply based on nothing.

Maybe we can help convince people to take the Bible more seriously and not to casually set it aside due to demonstrably false ideas.

New apologists,

Please take the burden off yourself to know everything, but keep the burden on yourself to know something.

Have at least a reason to defend your faith.

The Christian shoemaker does his duty not by putting little crosses on the shoes, but by making good shoes, because God is interested in good craftsmanship.

[Gretchen Ronnevik @garonnevik]

Today at church, one family sat in the 2nd row--not their normal row. That pushed the family who normally sits in the 2nd row to the 3rd row--our normal row. So we sat in the 4th row, and the older couple who usually sits behind us was like "what's happening?"

It was chaos.

Young people would be wise to make sure they are not primarily influenced, in lifestyle or beliefs, by other young people.

Let me put it this way. If a 17-year-old version of me was your life-guide and model, it wouldn’t be good.

Find older people to learn from. Wise ones.

[Mike Winger @MikeWingerii]

Christians must regularly die to desires they have.

People often speak highly of learning to say “no” to others, but rarely speak of how important it is to say “no” to yourself.

“If any one will follow me, he must deny Himself”
- Jesus
