"In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." Proverbs3:5

"all"

Even the tiniest detail. He wants our trust in Him to become our lifestyle.

Amen…

[Lysa TerKeurst @LysaTerKeurst]

God is standing in our tomorrow. He is standing in the next day and every single day after that. Standing there with His love. Waiting on us with His wisdom. Going before us with His hope and His provision.

Happy Columbus Day, my friends.

Every October, we argue over whether to honor him or tear him down.

C. S. Lewis warned us, "We remove the organ and demand the function."

In Confessions of a Liberal, I wrote about how we got here:

"We spent two generations teaching children to see through everything. Every tradition, a power grab. Every loyalty, a trick. Every tender sentiment, propaganda in a dress. Debunking became the whole education."

I know because I was one of those children, and later, I spread the lore.

"But you cannot go on seeing through things forever. A window is only useful because the garden on the other side of it is not transparent too. See through everything and you have not become wise. You have gone blind."

"Tearing down is the easy part. Anyone can tear down. The hard part, the part that actually changes anything, is what you build in the rubble."

So honor the story. Tell the WHOLE truth about it.

Then build something.

[Billy Graham @BillyGraham]

"There are times I feel that I don’t have joy, and I get on my knees and say, 'Lord, where is the fruit of joy in my life?' I find that the joy is there, down deep. It is a deep river. Whatever the circumstances, there is a river of joy." —Billy Graham

I woke up this morning with one thought:

Help them find Jesus.

Every problem this world faces has already been solved.

There is a blueprint for living your best life: no depression, strong marriages, and a strong republic. It is sitting RIGHT THERE.

And it only gets sharper with time.

Archaeologists keep turning up the same thing: the Bible speaks with a precision that should unsettle anyone who has written it off.

The average person will not have a grand awakening, because a godless culture keeps selling the opposite.

“Treat yo self”

“Netflix and chill”

Stay home. Stay small. Stay Angry. Blame everyone else.

My problems shrink when I help others. They turn into an avalanche when I “chill.”

Again, it’s right there waiting for you. It’s not some snooty book of stale rules. It is love and light.

Find the courage to live your faith in the open.

The Bible does not say turn “liberals into conservatives” with force and shame.

It says love them, lead by example, and show what Christianity actually looks like.

& my favorite: do not be afraid.

Name Him and let HIM work on their heart.

This revival and the work of protecting the Constitution from destructive policy are not rivals.

It is not either / or.

We can do both and should do both.

@tracesoffaith Have a wonderful birthday! 🥳

[Shannon Brown @OncePoore]

Would make an excellent Christmas gift… to me from me.

[Sarah Salviander @sarahsalviander]

This book was a lifetime in the making—and then it became something I never planned.

I spent years researching a science-apologetics book. It was my entire life. But when it came time to write, I just didn’t have the heart for it. Years of trials had left me feeling dry and weary. I didn’t want to argue about God. Instead, I wanted to sit with Him.

Every time I looked at incredible images of the heavens, I felt renewed. I felt close to Him. I thought about what the heavens were declaring about Him. So I asked a different question: What do the heavens actually tell us about His nature, His character, and His love?

I started off writing a simple devotional, but it turned into something more: equal parts Bible study, personal reflection, and astronomy lesson—with a little history stitched in—along with over 100 stunning images of God’s handiwork in the cosmos.

I love it, and I think you'll love it, too.

The Heavens Declare is out November 3 from Moody Publishers, with a foreword by Lee Strobel.

Pre-order my book if you want to explore God's universe with me.

@MarkGrote No coincidences…all God. Prayers for your neighbors and you as you minister to those who also have experienced that deep sorrow. 🙏🏼

Been the recipient and hopefully many times over been that encouragement. 🤍

[ZUBY: @ZubyMusic]

A few words of positive encouragement can completely change the trajectory of someone's day. Sometimes, their entire life.

I’m back.

I want to thank everyone who spoke up on my behalf, I am truly blown away by the support I received.

I also want to thank the X team who entered into a thoughtful discussion with me about content and their decision-making process.

I have given my feedback to their team and it was well received.

It is incredibly important that we are allowed to share news, no matter how awful, sad, or infuriating that news may be.

I will not stop reporting on violent crime and making sure victims receive justice.

Too often, certain crimes receive far too little attention because of the race of the attacker and/or the race of the victim.

X is a place where stories can get out into the open that the mainstream media ignores due to their biases.

I saw it first-hand during Hurricane Helene 2 years ago when the media left early and I was one of the few left reporting on the aftermath, months later.

X is the most important platform on earth because it is the most free platform on earth.

Do not stop sharing stories you feel deserve to be heard, I certaintly won’t be stopping.

You have a voice and you can, and do, make real world change by using it.

Don’t stop.

Thank you all.

Yes one one more Lord…

[Erin Derham Van Swol @HistoryBoutique]

Jesus died on the cross for our sins and came back to life.

He tells you how to live your best life,

but loves you even when you choose hardship.

I pray one more person picks up a Bible and finds peace in his love today.
