"This is the tyranny of easy metrics. It's easy to measure how much money is saved by preventing cancelations, much harder to measure how much is lost by poisoning your reputation with the 99.9% of customers who had to jump hoops and dodge sleazeballs." https://t.co/k3NQne2IGl

It's a shocking message: careful obedience to God's law may actually serve as a strategy for rebelling against God.

“It is not the books written in direct defense of Materialism that make the modern man a materialist; it is the materialistic assumptions in all the other books.” —C.S. Lewis

So, ponder what assumptions you are imbibing in the movies and television shows you watch.

Here are 4 core questions to help you build a Rule of Life.

These questions are created with prayer, self-care, community, and mission in mind.

[Rich Villodas @richvillodas]

1. Your mistakes are not too deep for God’s grace.

2. God’s goodness towards you is not connected to your goodness.

3. Jesus is not ashamed to join his life to messed up sinners.

4. Out of a great mess, came the great Messiah.

(From today’s sermon on Jesus’s genealogy)

“Milton was right…The choice of every lost soul can be expressed in the words “Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven.” There is always something they insist on keeping even at the price of misery. There is always something they prefer to joy—that is, to reality.” CS Lewis

[Brandon Linton @brlinton]

“I think earth, if chosen instead of Heaven, will turn out to have been, all along, only a region in Hell: and earth, if put second to Heaven, to have been from the beginning a part of Heaven itself.” - C.S. Lewis

“The gospel message is actually the power of God in verbal, cognitive form. It lifts people up; it transforms and changes things. When it is outlined and explained, or reflected upon, its power is released.” @timkellernyc

[Rich Villodas @richvillodas]

I have zero data to back this up, but I think the quality of our conversation re polarizing issues would improve significantly if we simply asked,

When you say _________ what do you mean?

But that requires a curiosity that is truly difficult for people stuck in our ways.
