New post:

The book of Exodus tells the famous story of God’s people wandering in the wilderness for 40 years. But along the way, they walked through 4 different wildernesses in particular—each site being a unique place of testing, trial, and temptation.

Goliath was David’s…

“Gold Star” honor
“Ivy League” status
“Red Carpet” moment

And yet, David remained silent about Goliath…

What can we learn about his silence?
Giant-sized truths about humility.

If love means affirmation…

Christians believe God’s Word is inerrant.

Progressives believe their experience is.

Choose your inerrancy.

if we're going to cross one state line, only a couple hours a way:

Liberty - Baylor

[Austin Daniel Gentry @AustinGentry]

The college comps between NC and TX are surprisingly similar...

Duke - Rice
UNC - Texas
NCSU - TAMU
Wake - SMU
App St - Texas Tech
ECU - TxSt
Elon - TCU
UNCC - Houston
UNCW - TAMU-Galv.

Baylor doesn't have a good comp...

Empathy — acknowledges validity in other perspectives (Gotcha.)

Creativity — finds connections between perspectives (Aha!)

Repentance — reframes own perspective to the truth (Sorry!)

Wisdom — knows other perspectives, but rejoices in the truth (Amen!)

[Austin Daniel Gentry @AustinGentry]

Naivety — can’t see other perspectives (Huh?)

Rigidity — won’t see other perspectives (No!)

Insecurity — offended by other perspectives (Ouch!)

Humility — considers other perspectives (Ohhh).

Discernment — evaluates other perspectives (Hmm…)

Egos are like balloons:

The bigger they get, the more delicate and explodable they are.

The smaller they get, the more durable and flexible they are.

So by putting the Promised Land into us before we get into the Promised Land, He saves it, blesses us, the blessings don’t ruin us, and channels these blessings to others with us.

[Austin Daniel Gentry @AustinGentry]

Sometimes God takes us into the wilderness… so that He can take the wilderness out of us…

…and put the Promised Land into us…

…before taking us into the Promised Land…

…lest we bring our wilderness into the future—and ruin it, ourselves, and others with us.

Together, their journey through each one serves as a lesson of faith for us today for the many wildernesses God will lead us into… and through.

New post: "4 Types of Wilderness”

In Exodus, God’s people wander through the wilderness for 40 years, walking through 4 distinct wildernesses in particular—each one being a unique place of testing, trial, and temptation.

Knowing that God waits to show us grace leads to us waiting on God with peace and expectation. Faith in future grace empowers perseverance in the present.

[Austin Daniel Gentry @AustinGentry]

Isaiah 30:18

Therefore the LORD waits to be gracious to you,
and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you.
For the LORD is a God of justice;
blessed are all those who wait for him.
