"The resurrection means everything sad is going to eventually come untrue and it will somehow be greater for once being broken and lost."

@KnowingFaithPod Jen’s challenge to read and understand the Bible for myself has changed my life. I went from having an obligatory “quiet time” to a quest for deep understanding. *It has also made me the obnoxious person in small group that can’t stop talking about the Bible!

@DPCassidyTKC Be of good cheer, David! Maybe it’s the consequence of so many young churches who share space in community buildings. That’s the case with my church. The public school we meet in cannot provide staff to open/close the building on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.
A quick 🧵 about Xian nationalism, racism, & the challenges of modernity:
Our current epidemic of rootlessness, social fragmentation, & waning religious identity won't be solved by repeating the sins that got us here in the first place.
When I'm overwhelmed by what's happening in the world, I remember the One who upholds the universe by his powerful word. When I feel ignorant & at a loss about what to do or even *what to think,* I remember the One who knows & guides all things & is subjecting them all to himself
I was chatting with a friend and said that the more I read the Bible and the more I look at the Church, the more I've grown to understand that there are no heroes. Only God is our hero. I can say that without cynicism. I'd say it's good and freeing for me and others.

'This house is a mess. I have so much work to do,' said Toad.
Frog looked through the window. 'Toad, you are right,' said Frog. 'It is a mess.'
Toad pulled the covers over his head.
