Some ministry tweets, some dad jokes, some advocating for the revival of the Old Testament as a resource for Christian spiritual formation

Signing off of the Twitter for a while.

Y’all behave.

Sure you’re excited about Christmas and whatnot but did you go as Santa for Halloween?

If the saved cannot become lost again, was anything really at stake for the Galatians?

@JosiahHawthorne Churches of Christ, who are neither evangelical nor mainline:

@ParsonPeeves The little American flag though

@thenotthebible It should go thru Jan 5, because that’s the 12th day of Christmas.

Today I learned that the ER is less busy while football is on. And if the Cowboys have a bad first half, the ER gets more crowded during the second half.

Apparently people either don’t do ER-worthy stuff because they’re watching the game, or they just hold off til later.

When I was a kid, I always thought this little piggy went shopping

[Parker Bullard @OT_Preacher]

Today’s sermon went something like this

[Parker Bullard @OT_Preacher]

@DanVaccaro3 Anything before 7 is early for me. Three kids who are generally in bed at 9pm.

[Parker Bullard @OT_Preacher]

Turns out a rainy day fund is not for “when it’s raining and you can’t hang out outside so you go shopping to pass the time.”

@ToddHarding_17 Frank, hold perfectly still. Maybe he doesn’t see us.

[Parker Bullard @OT_Preacher]

@shaunwissmann I have in mind especially Jeremiah 3 and 23 and Micah 3

[Parker Bullard @OT_Preacher]

@shaunwissmann In that case, yes it is a perennial frustration that we don’t have a clearer picture of what early shepherds did. In addition to your apostolic fathers study, I’d recommend looking to OT patterns that created expectations of pastoral care.

[Parker Bullard @OT_Preacher]

@shaunwissmann I guess maybe I don’t understand the question. Aren’t shepherds long term by definition? Or maybe quantify long term for me

[Parker Bullard @OT_Preacher]

@shaunwissmann When Titus or Timothy are instructed to appoint elders, are we not thinking these are long term?
Paul writes Philippians to the church “along with the overseers and deacons.” He seems to have appointed long term leadership to steward the church after he had moved on.
