You are not the worship leader. Jesus is.

From critical "red flag" threats to more chronic "yellow flag" threats, the church will always undergo varying levels of temptation, seeking to devalue the sacred assembly in which God intends to spiritually form his people into Christ's likeness! @9Marks

May church leaders disciple their flocks to understand and gladly participate in God’s gracious provision of Word-saturated, gospel-adorning corporate worship that forecasts the eternal joy we will one day share around God’s throne.

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.

[Rich Penix @RichPenix]

This is EXCELLENT! Strongly encourage you to take the time to be refreshed by the message and emphasis of this video. May the people of God reclaim their song as a priesthood of believers!

John Piper reads a letter his dad wrote him nearly 50 years ago, when he was considering becoming a pastor.

Moving.

"When leading corporate worship, shepherd God's people through each word you speak." - @RichPenix, Associate Pastor, Eden Baptist Church

Every word matters. From the call to worship to the final word, God’s people need truth to stand on.

[Rich Penix @RichPenix]

Looking forward to how the Lord will continue to use D&T in the years to come!

[Doxology & Theology @DoxAndTheo]

From the very start of Doxology & Theology 14 years ago, our heart has been to encourage and equip churches to practice faithful worship.

We are grateful for a wonderful Pastors' Seminar a couple weeks ago with @jaredmcompton and over 60 local area pastors! What a gift to be able to deepen our understanding of the book of Hebrews! @BCS_MN @TCT_Net

Encouraging interview by Aaron Downs (Resurrection Church, Burnsville) on Pastor Dan Miller's life and ministry.

@AndyNaselli I also finished listening to this book in recent months. Captivating life, and crazy to think how much has happened since the book was written!

John Piper, writing in 2016 about his philosophy of social media use and the temptations that come with it:

[Rich Penix @RichPenix]

Oh, give thanks to God forever
For all He's done, for all He's given
For every grace, bring every praise
To the giver of all, give thanks

"To the Puritans, the sermon was the liturgical climax of public worship. Nothing, they said, honours God more than the faithful declaration and obedient hearing of His truth."

- J.I. Packer

[Expositors Collective @expositcllctv]

A sermon is not a lecture. It is not absorbing trivia. It is a heart-shaking assault on darkness and the very gates of hell, trumpeted forth so that sinners tremble and saints quake in wonder.
- Michael Reeves

We are grateful for a wonderful Pastors' Seminar with @DavidSchrock and over 50 local area pastors! May we steward our priestly ministry for the Lord's glory!

[David Schrock🌲 @DavidSchrock]

Looking forward to teaching on the glories of Christ and his royal priesthood at Eden Baptist Church this weekend.
