“But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!”
Galatians 5:22-23 NLT

RARE POST FOR ME
What @reachjulieroys publishes to accuse and attack others is evil.
There is an agenda behind it. Biblical justice is not the goal.
IT’S FAILURE PORN & A MONEY MAKING CARTEL OF ACCUSATION.
I want to wake up Christians to have discernment.
Here’s why ⏬
@Saddleback is eager to turn the corner & focus our attention on the exciting ministry in our future. We will continue to do our best to serve God’s purposes in our generation & support pastors all over the world. We wish the SBC the best & pray for God’s grace upon its future.
@saltyourhash@dixontroy@Saddleback my first tweet was clear. We’re on the same team. 😀 If you can make someone any enemy it makes it easier to not like them. I hold a conservative biblical view of marriage and the Bible. I may interpret women in leadership differently but that does not make me a “liberal” 😀
@Saddleback holds to the inerrancy and authority of The Bible and a belief that marriage is a covenant before God between one man and one woman. For political purposes the mob has twisted our efforts to resource, love & support parents with LGBTQ kids.
@dixontroy@Saddleback You asked two questions in one with competing answers. 😀 certainly if marriage is covenant relationship between a man and a women that would make any sexual act outside of that a sin. what you’ve seen is a false description of @Saddleback for the purpose of political gain.
My biggest regret in 53 years of ministry is that I didn’t do my own personal exegesis sooner on the 4 passages used to restrict women. Shame on me.
I wasted those 4 yrs of Greek in college & seminary. When I finally did my proper “due diligence”, laying aside 50 years of
Post Covid leadership belongs to scrappy leaders. A scrappy leader never says “when i have x then I will lead” they have faith that God can do something from nothing! They never wait for optimal conditions to sow or go. They shift the atmosphere by bringing hope in darkness!
As children we begin with an all good/ all bad dichotomy. Later we discover that our hearts are a complex web of goodness and brokenness. The Psalmist prays “test my heart” for a reason. Spiritual formation is Jesus lovingly and patiently removing the bad and putting in the good.
Everything we think, type or say falls into 1 of 4 categories: False negative, false positive, true negative and true positive. Parsing out your own thoughts and words is one of the great acts of wisdom and maturity.
#TenaciousTeachability is the secret sauce to success in every area of your life. It’s the combination of a humility to own your gaps with a relentless passion to get better at a great personal price!
God is very attentive to the person you are becoming. Most dilemmas in life become so much easier to solve if you pick up the WHO filter before WHAT and HOW.
Most of the biggest problems you are facing are more spiritual than you are thinking. It’s not only spiritual but it’s certainly all spiritual. We need humble prayerful knees and open discerning eyes. God please give me both!
