Working in James 3:17-18 today and every day.

But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.

@Jeff_Warren This!

@Bezner @Ryan_Abt I feel the love just reading about it!

[Alan Duane Brooks @PastorTallowood]

@Bezner @scottvenable @KrisSegrest So good Steve!

[Alan Duane Brooks @PastorTallowood]

Confession of a pastor for nearly 43 years. Just when I think I have God figured out and fit him neatly into the box I have made, he blows it up and I think again. Good thing. He is infinite and I am so finite.

[Alan Duane Brooks @PastorTallowood]

@Bezner I believe it and rejoice with you!

[Alan Duane Brooks @PastorTallowood]

@Bezner Blessed are the peacemakers!

[Alan Duane Brooks @PastorTallowood]

@Bezner Amen! John Donne writes: Death, be not proud . . . Not yet canst thou kill me. One short sleep past, we wake eternally and death will be no more. Death, thou shalt die!

[Alan Duane Brooks @PastorTallowood]

@Bezner Thanks for leading us Steve! Great word last night.

@MBrianHaynes Same. Started last Sunday. 2:1-9 is deeply convicting.

@DST_Josh @BUDREW @BaylorMBB @Baylor @BaylorAthletics Great choice!

@M_W_GGW @ryancduff @grcastleberry I love to sing. But worship is sacrifice. Romans 12:1. This is your true and proper worship - presenting your bodies as living sacrifices. Singing alone cannot bear the weight of that definition.

@pastordmack God bless you as you preach. Your fellow preacher today, Thong Lun shares in ministry with his wife Mang Tiak in a church we planted with them. Together they shepherd a great congregation that has planted six other churches in Houston. We call them Priscilla and Aquila.

@farris_april That is awesome!

@Moralco61898803 @MattSwiftyPerry How many missionaries will have to come off the field because of funding they lose from churches that supported them. Many good churches have women as children's pastors.

[Alan Duane Brooks @PastorTallowood]

@ObliviousSeeke1 @sandraglahn So when the missionaries come home because the churches that paid their salaries are forced out, are you good with that? Asking for my friends who are too busy doing Great commission to argue about job titles.

[Alan Duane Brooks @PastorTallowood]

@SBCMeeting When we enforce this on all churches missionaries will lose funding. They will come home for lack of funding.

[Alan Duane Brooks @PastorTallowood]

@SBCvoices When the churches with women as children's pastors are forced out, how will we fund our missionaries? Which ones will have to come home? We have not always agreed but we worked together to send missionaries.
