Battling cancer over the last few months has meant I have thought more deeply than ever on the resurrection. This doesn't come out until March (in time for Easter) but I wanted to share with you all now that this is coming. https://t.co/Bn8uxg12kw
Almost every Pastor I talk to is deeply discouraged, overwhelmed & having serious doubts about longevity in ministry.
Ministry is hard at the best of times, but these are excruciating days for leaders.
Unnecessary criticism could do irreparable damage right now.
Be kind.
We do not grasp the power of prayer because we have made it all about getting answers rather than having the unspeakable privilege of access by the torn veil of Christ’s own flesh to the Lord God Omnipotent who reigns without equal, without hindrance over every atom of existence.

Thank you, Pastor @Chris_Hodges, for the efforts of @highlandsAL during the #COVID19 pandemic. You are ministering to the physical, emotional and spiritual well-being of Alabamians. God bless you and the many members of The Church of the Highlands! https://t.co/9CtEnEldxQ
"I thank You today, Father, that You have a divine destiny for my life. As I step out in faith, help me discover Your good plan for my future. I am grateful that You walk with me as I seek to walk in Your path for my life. In Jesus' name, Amen!" #PrayerOfThanks#JoyceQuote
"Father, I am thankful that I can release my faith by simply coming to You in prayer, speaking Your promises, and doing what You tell me to do. Help me to stand in faith when the circumstances are against me. I thank You that I can trust You completely. In Jesus' name, Amen!"
We’re following a God we can’t see, for a lifetime we can’t measure,
to an eternity we can’t comprehend, because of grace we didn’t earn.
Faith isn’t a bunch of facts.
The Lord WILL be faithful to you. He will. He is not idle. He is working in ways you cannot see, doing things you cannot do. Surrender control of it to Him. He’s letting others fail to live up to their press so you will know the only One who is every single thing He claims to be.
Followers of Jesus, do not confuse Jesus with His followers. The most effective way to steer clear of cynicism in this current Christian climate is to stay Jesus-focused instead of Jesus-follower focused. No one is worthy of your undying loyalty but the one who overcame death.
God knows everything about us. He knows every mistake we will ever make, and He still loves and chooses us. Don't be afraid that God is angry with you; start believing that He approves of you. Do it in faith! #ProjectGRL#JoyceQuote
