Salvation is surrender.
Sanctification is war.

Pray for Joshua Johnston who is currently serving overseas as a military chaplain. Pray that the Lord would give him endurance and strength as he ministers the gospel to those around him. Pray the Lord would keep them safe while overseas until they return home.

Today, we pause to honor and thank the men and women who have served in our nation’s armed forces. We are deeply grateful for your courage, sacrifice, and commitment to protecting our freedoms. From all of us at @FairviewBC, thank you for your service. #VeteransDay

I had the honor of preaching on “The Table and the Towel” from John 13 (and Philippians) at @SEBTS Chapel today. I enjoyed having my parents and a great group of @FairviewBC members present.

“Whatever table you end up sitting at in ministry, never be above picking up the towel.”

[Matt Capps @MattCapps]

Looking forward to preaching in chapel at @SEBTS tomorrow morning (10:30 am)!

We are almost done! @IKEA bookcases on top of cabinets. Mounted to the wall and framed with the help of a friend. We finished painting them yesterday!

I just received an encouraging note from a pastor friend who recently led his church through our book, Every Member Matters.

Messages like this remind us why we wrote the book: to equip the saints for the work of the ministry! After all, ministry isn't reserved for a few; it's the calling of the whole church (Ephesians 4:11–16).

Check out “The Biblical Christ” from @ReadBakerBooks!

Our goal is simple: help people understand who Christ is in all of Scripture, with Chalcedon as the aid. We hope this will serve pastors, college students, and thoughtful laypeople.

First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone, for kings and all those who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.

This is good, and it pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, a testimony at the proper time.

I had the privilege of serving as the editor for Co-Laborers (@CoLaborBaptist), and I’m excited to finally have a copy in hand. @corinnefnelson did a fantastic job writing and developing this resource with @Provision_NC!

Co-Laborers is a nine-session Bible study on work, worship, and the Christian life. One of the central aims of the study is to help ordinary Christians see that their Tuesday afternoon belongs to God just as fully as their Sunday morning.

The nine sessions explore nine marks of the Christian life: Whole, Fruitful, Transformative, Loving, Shared, Formative, Participatory, Good, and Restful.

The study also includes guest essays from contributors serving in a variety of vocations: @DrJTPennington, David Brown, Katy Kabrich, @HarryHNelson, Ken Mbugua, @BenjaminTQuinn, @ronjourlocke, Dan Mackett, and an anonymous contributor.

This is a great resource for Sunday school classes, small groups, discipleship groups, workplace Bible studies, one-on-one mentoring, or personal devotions.

Even better, the complete study is available free for any church, class, or group that wants to use it!

The @FairviewBC Fall Festival was a blast!

[Matt Capps @MattCapps]

Encouraged a group of pastors in the New South River Baptist Association this morning in Fayetteville, NC. Thankful for the church revitalization work @ncbaptist is doing! Everyone at the meeting received a copy of @PastorSWade's and my book with @BHpub, "Shepherding Renewal." - https://t.co/wjG77DRykg #onmissiontogether

I had the honor of speaking to this group of pastors and their wives last night in Greensboro. @PastorSWade is doing a great job investing in @ncbaptist pastors! #onmissiontogether
