Adam loves his John Deere tractor. This is outside the John Deere Pavilion in Moline, IL on Sept. 29. Notice the sun is rising on the deer's head. Here's to claiming a new day dawning for the United Methodist Church. @RevAdamHamilton @sharechurchrez #ShareChurchLI

Fun fact. The John Deere logo was changed in 2000 to show the iconic deer leaping up instead of landing. The intent was to show the company was leaping up into the future. @RevAdamHamilton @sharechurchrez #ShareChurchLI

“He could have overturned the election.” This is an admission, and a massively un-American statement. It is time for every Republican leader to pick a side… Trump or the Constitution, there is no middle on defending our nation anymore.

I just saw #AmericanUnderdog. I mentioned it in a sermon before Christmas. Glad to finally see it. I loved it and the powerful message and remembering 1999 as a UNI grad. Thanks, @kurt13warner for some great sermon material 😉

@kevinwatson As a DS, I would ask all of my pastors, "who is discipling you?" And, "who are you discipling?" Most struggled with those questions.

[Thomas L Carver @TL_Carver]

@kevinwatson Great question. So how about some attempts to offer a solution? Here's one: a disciple is a person who is trying to become more like Jesus with the help of someone else.

@jktlb Thanks for the reply. It helped me to clarify our task of building trusting relationships in our nation and neighborhood. Yes, it starts with a trusting relationship with God but then must transform us into trustworthy people.

A prayer for the healing of our nation. Our job is to build trust in our nation and in our neighborhoods.

Relationships are everything.

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

TELL us what to say. Tell us what to do. He wants to TEACH us what to say. Teach us what to do. Because teaching requires interaction: the teacher & the taught. Teaching implies connection. Relationship. It requires instructor and student. Rabbi and disciple. A table for two.
