Matthew 5:14-15

[14] “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. [15] Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.

[Nick Ballenger @NickBallenger]

1 John 4:15-16

[15] Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. [16] So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

1 John 4:16

[16] So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

[Nick Ballenger @NickBallenger]

1 John 4:11-12

[11] Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. [12] No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.

1 John 4:7-8

[7] Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. [8] Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

This is great news! Congratulations to @SWBTS and to President Dockery on the hard work of their faculty, staff, and administration.

Titus 1:7-8

[7] For an overseer, as God’s steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, [8] but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined.

The Bridge Church of the Carolinas is part of the Broad River Association. Tonight during their tent meeting an older man named James walked down and professed faith in Christ and requested immediate baptism. The church has prayed for his salvation. I was blessed to be there.

Luke 24:45-47a

Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations…

Enjoyed spending today with leaders from across South Carolina serving on the Vision & Strategic Planning Committee for SCISA. Grateful for the administrators, faculty, staff, and families who invest daily in students and remain committed to the mission of SCISA schools. #SCISA

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

The Gospel is good news, not good advice.

[Nick Ballenger @NickBallenger]

@McCormickProf @Harvard and others won’t do that. Academic Freedom was sacrificed on the altar of perverted ideology. Feelings trump facts, that’s why Dr. Hooven doesn’t have a place in secular higher education. So-called Ivy League schools are no longer places of education but indoctrination.

[Nick Ballenger @NickBallenger]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thankful for their service and their courage in sharing the grace of Christ.

Jeremiah 1:4-5

[4] Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

[5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
and before you were born I consecrated you;
I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

[Nick Ballenger @NickBallenger]

Isaiah 55:12

[12] “For you shall go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and the hills before you
shall break forth into singing,
and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

[Nick Ballenger @NickBallenger]

Thankful

82 years ago today, nearly 160,000 Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, launching the liberation of Europe.

We are free because they were brave. 🇺🇸
