Bad: baby puked on me on my way out the door to lead worship @LivingWordMN. Good: I am to God the pleasing aroma of Christ. (2 Cor 2:15)

That's not the click track, that's my ankles popping. #agingworshipleaderprops #almost35 #needsomefishoil #cantdancecanjump

Bricks that build the fortress of character are often pulled from the ruins of past wars.

You are at your pastoral best when you are not noticed.

If Jesus was a worship leader, His favorite chord would be Gsus. #lame #toomanydeeptweets

My pursuit of Jesus is garbage compared to His pursuit of me.

[Brandon J Lyles @brandonjlyles]

Not all of Jesus' disciples were loyal to Him, yet He remained loyal to them. A good reminder to all us bosses, leaders & pastors.

I'm finding it's harder to come by people with character than people with talent nowadays.

Twitter reminds me of when the cashier at Leeann Chin throws a handful of fortune cookies in your bag so you open & read them all at once.

It’s so key to remember that following Jesus is a lifestyle “on the move.” We don’t stop to admire what we’ve accomplished.

[Brandon J Lyles @brandonjlyles]

Make no mistake... Christianity looks different nowadays. The Bible doesn't.

[Brandon J Lyles @brandonjlyles]

I feel knowing God isn't as complicated as everyone on Twitter makes it sound.

[Eugene Peterson @PetersonDaily]

I have found that the pastor’s life is a context-specific life, rather than a model or blue print.

[Brandon J Lyles @brandonjlyles]

I broke a piano bass string last night during worship. That's gotta be worth another jewel in my crown or something.

[Brandon J Lyles @brandonjlyles]

Some of my most indelible times of leading worship have come only after losing my voice or forgetting the lyrics. Makes perfect sense.

[Brandon J Lyles @brandonjlyles]

...and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity...

God has already memorized the lyrics of your songs - even if the crowds haven't yet. #keepwriting

[Eugene Peterson @PetersonDaily]

The Bible is not a script for a funeral service. It is the record of God bringing life where we expected to find death.
