@KaitlynSchiess I like the “read more” app.

@DavidACBennett It is sad but true. We worship a humble God who will not assert his supremacy when we choose to ignore him.

TN pastor Greg Locke has planned a “massive burning” at his church, calling on members to bring occult-related materials to be burned

Mark Tooley of @TheIRD responded: “Locke is a sensationalist whose ministry seems to depend on provocation & controversy”

"The spiritual life begins by paying attention to your thoughts, which is why the Psalmist prayed, Search me, God, and heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts." - John Ortberg

[Christianity Today @CTmagazine]

“The Bible makes it clear that God despises acts of outward piety or sentimentality that are not matched with action on behalf of justice...

Therefore we must never settle for a false dichotomy between prayer and action.”

If you follow Jesus long enough, he will disappoint you. He does not exist to meet our expectations.
