So much of the Christian life can be boiled down to two simple truths.

1. You are no longer your own. You belong to Christ.

2. You are no longer 𝘰𝘯 your own. He gave you the church.

[Lance Ward @OkLance]

@BobGolen I continue to go back and forth on that issue myself.

@SethOliveras I love our softball team! So special.

Went to grad school with a woman from Illinois who sarcastically said “you Okies all think you’re meteorologists”. We gotta know a little about weather to stay safe while we watch disastrous storm from the front yard. https://t.co/ZF2PJoyKcs

@WaltzingMtilda I guess it’s fair to say you took those old records off the shelf.

Pragmatism reduces the preaching of the Gospel to motivational speeches.

[Sean McDowell @Sean_McDowell]

Only one religion is based on a single, testable, historical event. If you haven’t at least considered the evidence for the resurrection, NOW is the time.

@markcecchini First grandchild (girl) said of her new baby brother, “I want him to talk.”

The world is not becoming more chaotic.

It’s becoming more honest about what it always was.

[Patrick Schreiner ☧ @pj_schreiner]

Lee Strobel summarizes the evidence for Jesus’s resurrection with the “Four E’s”:

1) Executed — Jesus’s death by crucifixion is widely affirmed by historians.

2) Early — The creed in 1 Corinthians 15 preserves very early testimony.

3) Empty Tomb — Alternative explanations fail to adequately account for it.

4) Eyewitnesses — The Gospels, along with James and Saul, attest to resurrection appearances.

[Douglas Wilson @douglaswils]

“The point of preaching is never to make Christ acceptable. But in a man-centered era, this is automatically thought to be the task of the preacher—somehow making God acceptable to man. The problem that confronts us in the Bible is actually quite different. The real problem is one of sin, and how to make sinful man acceptable to a holy God. The solution, which made holy angels stop their mouths, was the Incarnation, Cross, and Resurrection. That is how sinners are made acceptable to God” (The Cultural Mind, pp. 145).
