Something good is going to come out of this season. If you asked me to prove it, I couldn't. Not yet anyway. I don't have evidence. All I have is faith, this small, barely there at times, glimmer of belief. But that's more than enough for today. (Expect to see this tomorrow too!)
5 things I would tell my 14-year-old self when I first entered ministry:
1. Ministry will be hard, persevere.
2. People will be difficult, endure.
3. Sin will haunt you, kill.
4. Joy will elude you, fight.
5. Christ will always love you, rejoice.
Religious experience occurs in the sanctuary, but its claim to truth has to be tested in the public world of facts where scientific disciplines operate.

I hope we never go back to normal. I know that’s hard to imagine, but there are parts of “normal” that needed to change. So, let’s go back to something better than normal. Greater devotion. Deeper community. Stronger… https://t.co/CcqMKWs7SM
Until there is a vaccine - this monster is going to be working around us. When we start opening businesses and schools back up, it's going to be different. What everyone needs to be thinking about is what you will do to keep your employees and customers safe when you reopen.
As we reopen #Ohio, people will have to be very, very careful until we get a vaccine. You'll have to weigh benefit vs. risk. You will have to make sure you're wearing a mask when you go out, continue social distancing, etc. #COVID19 is not going away until we get a vaccine.
Definitely a complete "pro-life" worldview here. Thanks Dr. Moore for your always biblical perspective!

There are really important topics that are not found in the Bible - the tax rate or health care or gun control. On the other hand, when we consider how we ought to treat immigrants & refugees as followers of Jesus, we discover that the Bible has a ton to say about this subject.
Do you live with a sense of urgency? When people look at your life, will they say that you have a purpose & you’re pursuing it? “Make it as clear as you can to all you meet that you're on their side, working with them & not against them...the Master is about to arrive.” Phil 4:5
The best preaching will leave people BOTH comforted in the love of God in Christ, and disrupted by the truth of God in Christ. We must come to him as we are, with awareness that he will never let us stay there.
Can this day get any better?! Got to meet with some of my best friends & ministry dudes this morning, then watch @Buckeyes shellac TTUN together. now I just watched Auburn beat BAma?! Yeeeessssss!
