@jeremypierre That’s amazing. Wow.

[Jason Kovacs @jasonkovacs]

We all need friends who will help us:

1. Reflect on our life
2. Recognize God’s grace
3. Practice abiding in Christ

[Jason Kovacs @jasonkovacs]

Through biblical counseling we help others see their story not as isolated or meaningless, but as part of the greater Story of God. We help others to live in that Story—renewing their minds, reorienting their hearts, and responding to life through the lens of grace and truth.

[Jason Kovacs @jasonkovacs]

A significant aspect of good counseling is simply providing space for people to voice their suffering in the presence of a safe person and the Savior who offers words of eternal comfort.

[Sean Gould @Sean_Gould]

@drjohnmeade @MBTS Awesome!!! Congrats!!

O come, all you unfaithful
Come, weak and unstable
Come, know you are not alone

O come, barren and waiting ones
Weary of praying, come
See what your God has done

Christ is born, Christ is born
Christ is born for you!

[Jason Kovacs @jasonkovacs]

As you gather with your church family today remember:

- God Summons
- God Sanctifies
- God Speaks
- God Supplies
- God Sends

Our gathering is primarily about what He has done and is doing and not about what we offer. Receive and rest in Him!

[Sean Gould @Sean_Gould]

@jeremypierre @SBTS Very excited and thankful to hear this! Proud of my brother, Colin!

[Sean Gould @Sean_Gould]

@jeremypierre @DrTomSchreiner Wonderful people. Thankful for them.

There may not be times in your marriage when you stop loving your wife, but there may be times when you stop liking her. There may be times when you are easily irritated with her, when you just can't get along, or when a kind of despondency enters into the way you think of her and the way you behave toward her.

I'd like to offer a bit of counsel for such times: When you find you don't like your wife, make it your aim to love your wife.

Your temptation in these difficult times will be to assume that your despondent feelings are the result of something she is failing to do—a way she is neglecting to love you, serve you, or honor you. That could be the case and she may well bear a portion of the responsibility.

But what you may fail to consider is that your despondent feelings are actually the result of something you are failing to do. It's always easier to look outside than in, to look to the other than to the self.

The thing about love is that it is more likely to grow cold when you fail to give it than when you fail to receive it. The one sure way to fall out of love with your wife is to stop loving her—to stop doing deeds of love, to stop speaking words of love, to otherwise stop displaying a heart of love.

So when you aren't getting along with your wife, serve her. When you find you are irritated with her, bless her. When you don't really care to be around her, surround her with love and good deeds. Make it your habit to ask her, "How can I make your day better today?" or "What can I do to serve you today?"

Make it your goal to make her day better, to make her life easier, to make her load lighter. In short, love her like Christ loves the church and serve her like Christ serves the church. Whether you feel loved or unloved, whether your heart is warm toward her or cold, love her, serve her, bless her.

You will find that as you serve her, your love will grow. As you act in love, you will feel more love. As you work for her good, your heart will become ever more inclined toward her. Because that's how love works.

@MattMason3 Thanks for suggesting this one. Looks great. I plan to use it in 2024. 👍🏻

@DeepakReju Exciting news! Praying, brother!

Are you tired? Feel in need of rescue. Remember this today:

- I have been rescued perfectly by Jesus
- I am being rescued presently by Jesus
- I will be rescued eternally by Jesus

On the one year anniversary of the reversal of Roe, I'm rejoicing in some of the good progress we've seen (even as we work for more):

◽5,000+ babies/month not aborted
◽20 states have passed pro-life laws
◽13 states have banned abortion
◽60+ abortion clinics closed

[Sean Gould @Sean_Gould]

@pbethancourt @CentralBCS @DLPatterson @mvemery I call shotgun for next year.
