Boasting only in the cross. Philippians 1:6... Live Simply. Love Big.

I once asked Chuck Swindoll what advice he'd give a young pastor. He said...

1. Be yourself.

Don't try to imitate others; God made you who you are on purpose.

2. Live better than you preach.

Study to preach, but even more to live what you preach.

Good advice.

[Matt Smethurst @MattSmethurst]

Six ingredients of true repentance:

1. Sight of sin
2. Sorrow for sin
3. Confession of sin
4. Shame for sin
5. Hatred of sin
6. Turning from sin

— Thomas Watson (1620–1686)

God may place you in certain situations which you cannot complete or resolve without His intervention. The best expression of God-like dependence in such moments is simple and succinct: "God, without your help, I am nothing and I will accomplish nothing."

In an age of propaganda, conspiracies, and lies, determine to be men and women of the Bible.

Hearing the Word (Jer 3:15)
Reading the Word (Deut 17:19)
Studying the Word (Prov 2:1-5)
Memorizing the Word (Ps 119:11)
Meditating on the Word (Josh 1:8)
Obeying the Word (Jam 1:22)

Jesus was tempted,
yet He delivers us.

Jesus was weary,
yet He is our rest.

Jesus was forsaken,
yet He never leaves us.

Jesus wept,
yet He wipes away our tears.

Jesus was hungry,
yet He is our bread.

Jesus died,
yet He destroyed death.

[Matt Smethurst @MattSmethurst]

My husband’s three rules of engagement when we go to church:

1. An alone person in our gathering is an emergency.

2. Friends can wait.

3. Introduce a newcomer to someone else.

Now isn’t the time for passing blame, explanations, platitudes, and disingenuous placating. It is time we as Southern Baptists grieve, pray, soul search and sit in the ashes. It is our worst moment…it can be our greatest moment. #sbcreport #SBC

Teenagers, the sins you give yourselves over to now you’ll spend the rest of your life trying—often unsuccessfully—to free yourself from the grip and consequences of.

I’ve seen it again and again.

Ask for faith, grace, and a love for Him who is better.

[Jason Keith Allen @jasonkeithallen]

The Bible is the Word of God.

It’s inspired, inerrant, & sufficient.

It’s worthy of your belief.

It’s worthy of your study.

It’s worthy of your defense.

It’s worthy of your teaching.

It’s worthy of your proclamation.

The Bible is the Word of God.

[Owen Strachan @ostrachan]

Some healing never happens in this life. Some spouses are never found. Some children are never born. But when our King returns, he will make up for every great thing that never came. https://t.co/tXWaOPquSI

Praise God for the life and work of @BillyGraham. He is with Jesus.

[Brandon Fomby @TBFomby]

I’m undone by the mercy of Jesus. I’m undone by the goodness of the Lord. I’m restored and made right. He got a hold of my life! I’ve got Jesus! How could I want more?
