@StewartRamakuri Worship has become a “brand” with many. Worship is a lifestyle and a heart posture towards Jesus and not “song factory”. Songs will show you your heart. “From the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.” —Jesus

If your heart is full of awe in Jesus, it will come out in song.

Luther was one man against 1,000 years of dead tradition.

We do not give birth to ourselves, we are not reborn because we believe. We believe because we are reborn. —Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Holiness isn’t pursued by following a list of rules, but by enjoying God, obeying His Word, and following Christ.

Touching His human nature, Jesus is no longer present with us. Touching his Divine nature, He is never absent from us. —@RCSproul

Noah prayed, his family were rescued.
Hannah prayed, Samuel was born.
Asa prayed, victory was won.
Isaiah prayed, the Assyrians fell.
Esther prayed, her people were saved.
Elijah prayed, fire fell from heaven.
Jesus prayed, thousands were fed.

God answers our prayers.

God is 10,000 times more merciful, gracious, and loving to us than we could deserve in 10,000 lifetimes.

Christian life without love is an exercise in futility. —@RCSproul

[R.A. Torrey @RATorreydaily]

True prayer takes time and thought, but it is the great timesaver.

[Ashley Sheatz @AshleySheatz]

Don't give up on praying for your loved ones who are "too far gone." I was in that category too.

[Dane Ortlund @daneortlund]

A tidal wave of pastor resignations is coming in 2022.

But that wave can be greatly lessened by the most powerful gift a congregation can give: the ministry of encouragement.

Not more vacations and higher salary but ordinary, specific encouragement is what will keep him afloat.

[Jared C. Wilson @jaredcwilson]

Both the mistreatment of the flock and the mistreatment of pastors will be things for which we will have to give an account.

“Churches must not maintain unity at the expense of the gospel, nor for the sake of purity needlessly be critical.” -Timothy Keller #balance

[Dustin Benge @DustinBenge]

Why does God save despicable, filthy, hell-deserving, corrupted, fallen, powerless, dead, depraved sinners?

Because He loves them.

If that’s not praiseworthy this morning, nothing is.

[Lecrae @lecrae]

They print money, they don’t print time. You can get more money…you can’t get more time.

[Matt Johnson @Matt_Johnson84]

Amen

[Samuel Sey @SlowToWrite]

If you love your neighbour,

stop manipulating your neighbour by twisting Jesus' words.

Many of the people who quote Jesus' words on loving your neighbour do not want you to obey God,

they want you to obey their own preferences on the vaccines with all your heart, soul, mind.

[Matt Johnson @Matt_Johnson84]

Amen

[Dustin Benge @DustinBenge]

Pastor, your goal today isn’t to hear “What a great preacher.” Your goal is to hear “What a great God.”
