What is your only comfort in life & death?

That I am not my own, but belong — body and soul, in life and in death to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ.

[Michael Reeves @mike_reeves]

Take heart: we do not know what is coming, but we know who is coming.

[Paul Pitts III @PaulPittsIII]

Psalm 90:14 —Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

[Paul Pitts III @PaulPittsIII]

The world simply hopes for the best, but Jesus offers the best hope.

[Paul Pitts III @PaulPittsIII]

Christ is our hope of glory and the glory of our hope.

[Paul Pitts III @PaulPittsIII]

Redemption is not a thing we receive like a heavenly VIP pass. Redemption is received in the person of Christ our
Redeemer, eternally secure in Him.

[Paul Pitts III @PaulPittsIII]

@MattSmethurst @JohnPiper His glory is our good 🙏🏾

[Paul Pitts III @PaulPittsIII]

Prayer is not merely medicine for when our faith is weak. Prayer is what our faith breathes out after breathing in the gospel.

[Paul Pitts III @PaulPittsIII]

No secular meta narrative answers our deepest questions or solves our biggest problems. None of them bring satisfaction to the heart. None of them provide the Savior we need. Our hearts will always be restless until they rest in Him. And His name is Jesus.

[Paul Pitts III @PaulPittsIII]

We live in the stories we tell ourselves.

Rehearse most often the story of God, as revealed in Scripture, centering on the good news about Jesus.

@calebmorell Though I affirm the 1689, I think Heidelberg Catechism Q103 is the best articulation for New Covenant believers—a call to public worship, instruction, and spiritual rest.

[Paul Pitts III @PaulPittsIII]

Sin is never a forbidden good.

God is never a killjoy. God is a good Father. His commands are expressions of His love and against what destroys real joy.

[Paul Pitts III @PaulPittsIII]

“Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea
A great High Priest whose name is love
Who ever lives and pleads for me”

[Paul Pitts III @PaulPittsIII]

The least & weakest faith receives the same strong Christ. Weak faith is as true as strong faith, when it’s focused object is Jesus.

[Paul Pitts III @PaulPittsIII]

Death was undefeated until Jesus died.
Because on the 3rd day, He rose again.

1 Corinthians 15:55

O death, where is your victory?
O death, where is your sting?

[Paul Pitts III @PaulPittsIII]

God doesn’t always remove us from hardships. But God does promise to equip us through every hardship and to be present with us every step of the way (Heb. 13:20-21).

[Paul Pitts III @PaulPittsIII]

God will never give us more than HE can handle.

Our maturity in the faith is never towards self-sufficiency, but delightful dependence upon Christ.

Glory in HIS strength, not your own.

[Paul Pitts III @PaulPittsIII]

We don’t need more from God to fulfill His will. We need to more readily embrace all that He’s provided for us in Christ.

[Paul Pitts III @PaulPittsIII]

Christian, believe afresh today you are no longer an enemy or at enmity with God. We have the irrevocable relational peace with him that Jesus Himself has with the Father (Col. 1:20, Rom. 5:1).

[Paul Pitts III @PaulPittsIII]

It’s okay to be weak sheep, when you have a strong shepherd in Jesus.

Nothing can snatch us from His hands or separate us from His love.

[Paul Pitts III @PaulPittsIII]

God will equip us to persevere through Jesus Christ unto His glory and our good forever (Heb. 13:20-21)
