David was anointed king & then went back to tending sheep. That holy meeting had just been his lunch break.
I want a 💜 like this-willing & ready to serve God anywhere & evrywhere. Not waiting on thrones & crowns, ignoring the sheep & fields before me today.
This is ministry.
It is no coincidence that the Spirit of God hovered & God’s voice spoke (Gen 1). Creation required the combination of His Word and His Spirit. These are the foundation for new life -for something born out of nothing. He did it back then....& He still does it today. In us.
Having been President of Life Action for almost a year I have been stunned by the numbers of pastors I interact with who are sad or depressed. I have been there too as have most pastors. But few talk about it openly. Thank u John Starke for these transparent words of hope! https://t.co/QzBgaROpaq
Today I remember my grandfather who gave his leg in WWI to defend us all. But there are many more who gave everything - their very lives so that we could breathe the breath of freedom today. Thanx is not enough. So-Lord help us to live lives worthy of their deaths! #memorialday
I just want to say if Jesus has kept all your rules, you are probably your own Jesus. The thing about the real Jesus is that He will straight up mess you up to save you from yourself.
Hey pastors! Could U and ur wife use a break - physically, emotionally and spiritually? Donna and I lead a pastor and wives retreat at our Life Action Lodge June 4-8. It is beautiful beyond words. May be some scholarship help too. A few spots open. Let me know if interested!
BUT IF NOT.
BUT IF NOT.
BUT IF NOT, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image you have set up.” “And these 3 men fell bound into the burning fiery furnace.”
Wait a second. Did we not cast 3 men bound into the fire?
True, O king.
Make mute the stones this day, Church! Shout hosannas and wave palm branches. Let there be no doubt to all who hear, we have a King. One crucified for our sins, raised from the dead, triumphant over hell and grave, seated at God’s own right hand. And He will again come riding in.
