@DuckieLouise Do you have some books, articles, podcasts you would recommend for gentle parenting? I’m not very knowledgeable about some aspects of this.

People that immediately stand up on the airplane when you land. Where do you think you’re gonna go?

@finejuli During Covid American Air boarded back to front and it was glorious. Haven’t been on one like that since.

I used to go to church there in college!!!

In a close game with the deacons, the young adults scored the winning points of the FBC Barnesville, GA, 2023 #AnnieArmstrong Invitational. 🏀

But the real winners of this basketball tournament were our missionaries because the event raised $2,000 for the Annie Offering! 🙌

In seeking God we have to be prepared not only to revise our ideas, but to reform our lives.

[Hope Castillo @bongokaleo]

The Gospel is not primarily an invitation for us to do anything; it is supremely a declaration of what God has done in Christ for human beings like ourselves.

Did you know about this fun connection between UGA and King Charles? #CoronationWeekend

We are to work for the spread of God’s love in all nations more than we are to seek safety, security, prosperity, and comfort in our own nation.

We tend to be more concerned about our personal desires in our own country than we are about the eternal destinies of people in other countries.

[Matt Smethurst @MattSmethurst]

We tend to say, “The church grew.”
Acts tends to say, “The word spread.”
We talk about church growth.
Acts talks about word growth.

Preach the word and let God take care of the size of your church.

Dead churches gather consumers and give them what they want.

Healthy churches grow disciples and give them what they need.

The era of Roe is ended. Now we redouble and expand our efforts to address the underlying factors that make abortion appear the only alternative for so many women. Let’s give our money, time, and prayers to that end: to render abortion unthinkable because support is so abundant.

[Benjamin Watson @BenjaminSWatson]

This turn in jurisprudence marks an end to an era of state sanctioned disregard for human dignity where profitability trumped personhood. Now is the time to secure paid leave, maternal healthcare, housing, job training, equal wages and child care.
A new work has just begun.

No words… just staring at my kids all night, grieving for the families & community destroyed by this.
Hurting people continuing to hurt people, followed by tone deaf blame placing & wasted commentary.
Jesus be near. Show us the way.
Supernaturally hold these families.

[Rich Villodas @richvillodas]

Jesus' harshest words in the gospels were consistently aimed at religious leaders who focused on everyone's exterior behavior but never looked on the interior of their own hearts & the systems of hurt they perpetuated.

30% - 50% of foster families quit within their first year, depending on the state -- mostly due to lack of support.

The need for churches to care for these families as they care for vulnerable children is critical. Here are 1️⃣.0️⃣ ways you can serve the fostering community: 👇

Most of us have chosen heaven over hell, but not many of us have chosen heaven over earth.

I know it's almost inevitable that Ukraine is starting to drop off the American news cycle, but the horrors of war, atrocities, & war crimes are not fading away.

Continue to pray for peace, for protection, for care, and justice. 🙏🏼🇺🇦

God didn’t design the Gospel of Jesus to be confined to our minds and mouths in the church, yet disconnected from our emotions and actions in the world.
