It’s time to stop giving the benefit of the doubt to continually hateful people. Godly people don’t distort and deceive to discredit others and credit themselves. You don’t tear longtime servants of Jesus to pieces like wolves & get to call it protecting the church. Ok. I’m done.
#ThoughtForTheDay The start of school is right around the corner. As Rita Pierson would say, “Every kid needs a champion.” So does every educator & adult who works in a school or district. #Culturize
This AM a Do-Not-Give-Up breakfast sandwich from 2 Cor 4:
“we do not give up...(V.1)
We are afflicted...
but not crushed;
we are perplexed
but not in despair;
we are persecuted
but not abandoned;
we are struck down
but not destroyed.(Vv.8-9)
...we do not give up.”(V.16)
If we don’t awaken to the ridiculousness of how we’re being trained to think, we are going to get to the end of our lives & be able to say, “I did 2 Instagram posts a day!”
Take the time to pray & seek the will of God. Start that real, live lasting God-work & finish the thing.
There is a big difference between blessing people & pleasing people. Pleasing is poor service to those whose desires or demands are skewed. It also backfires on you. On the other hand, sometimes what displeases now blesses later. Aim to please God & you’ll end up blessing people.
We’re whining about all the opportunities off limits to us & snoozing through the biggest opportunity offered to mortal man. Get your rear end out of that bed in the morning and start praying like you believe the God of the universe is listening. Pray like He keeps His promises.
Super proud of my #1 girl Sydney James. Her high school tennis career ended today at regionals. There is no dad more proud of his girl than I am. I love you sweetheart!!
