Recently, I had the opportunity to speak to a group of pastors on our Mentoring Moments Podcast and I challenged them to teach what the Bible says about the sanctity of life from conception to birth. God will bless you when you stand for what is right.

The greatest enemies of the Body of Christ are never the secular, “outside” foes who openly despise the name of Jesus. It is those on the “inside,” the religious enemies who want power and control. They are the most toxic foes of the faith.

[Tom Madden @TMWinterfest]

It is biblically acceptable to distance ourselves from certain believers who are abusive and are toxic to our souls. Remember forgiveness is not an option. But proximity is. ……today’s reading

A. W. Tozer; “Pharisee is hard on others and easy on himself, but a spiritual man is easy on others and hard on himself.” 
When you come vulnerable, you take away people’s ammunition against you. They are not saying anything about you that you haven’t already said about yourself.

[Dr. Mark Rutland @DrMarkRutland]

In this age of confusion and deception great leaders need great discernment. Of all the gifts necessary for leadership today, leaders aught to pray most earnestly for discernment.

Charles Spurgeon says, “Cheer up, Christian! Things are not left to chance: no blind fate rules the world. God hath purposes, and those purposes are fulfilled. God hath plans, and those plans are wise, and never can be dislocated.”

Solomon my son, know the God of your fathers and serve Him with a whole heart and with a willing spirit, for the Lord searches every heart and understands the intent of every thought. If you seek Him, He will be found by you, but if you forsake Him, He will abandon you forever.

[Jentezen Franklin @Jentezen]

I hear emergency meetings are taking place at Target headquarters, and rightfully so. They have crossed a line too far and in doing so will see the buying power of millions of Americans who will take their families and their dollars somewhere else until they correct this absurdity. This is being marketed to our children and grandchildren and if we don’t stand for something we will fall for anything.

Some leaders are constantly in motion, but never cause motion. Activity is not the same as progress. Movement toward the vision is essential.

13 David replied to Gad, “I am in great distress. Let me fall into the hands of the Lord, for His mercies are very great, but do not let me fall into the hand of man.”

[Travis Hall @PastorTHall]

Living to make an impression is an outflow of trying to manage an image.

Making an impact is the result of living from your identity (in Christ).

[Tom Madden @TMWinterfest]

William Secker said, “If Joseph had not been Egypt’s prisoner, he would have never been Egypt’s governor.”

[Tom Madden @TMWinterfest]

Oswald Chambers, the great Christian devotional writer, said this about character:
Character is the whole trend of a man’s life, not isolated acts here and there. . . . Character is the sum total of a man’s actions. You cannot judge a man by the good things he does at times.

[Dr. Mark Rutland @DrMarkRutland]

Petty tyrants are self-serving, overly demanding and unrewarding. They are drivers not leaders. True leaders, great leaders are generous and inspirational.

[Rick Warren @RickWarren]

After almost 43 yrs of pastoring Saddleback Church, Kay & I are announcing that God is calling us to step aside for the next generation! We feel deep love & humble gratitude for our church family. What a faith adventure its been! Now we're called to 2 new ministries. More later

[David Griffis @DMGriffis]

There are some things God never does.

God never lies.
God never fails.
God never loses.
God never forgets.
God never sleeps nor slumbers.
God’s never unaware.
God never worries.
God never changes.

[Travis Hall @PastorTHall]

Don’t confuse “no condemnation” with no consequences.”

Jesus will never condemn or turn His back on you, but destructive/selfish decisions will still produce painful and unwanted results.

The abundant life is found in living out of our righteous identity in Christ.✝️

[Tom Madden @TMWinterfest]

It's a shame when people come to church looking for God and only find us. https://t.co/SgCHUd1Re8 via @cnieuwhof

[Kevin Wallace @rttnpastor]

I will decide the timing & the content of the education my children receive regarding sex & sexuality. We reject any curriculum developed by perverted minds who want to confuse & contaminate the God given identity of our children. Kids are not the guinea pigs of their experiment.
