Undershepherd of Christ whom I love, trust, follow, and preach as a husband, dad, and pastor making disciples of the nations for God's glory, not my own.

The higher a man is in grace, the lower he will be in his own esteem. Spurgeon

When our eyes aren't fixed on Christ, it's usually because they're fixed on comparing ourselves with other Christians.

Parachurch ministries exist only to come alongside and serve the church, but if they ever try to be or replace the church, they should close their doors.

When we pray we don't need a special rug, beads, hat, direction, or posture—we can pray however, whenever, wherever.

Let us be more sad over our sin than our suffering.

Uzziah did what was right in God’s sight. He set himself to seek the Lord, and God made him prosper. His fame spread far, for he was marvelously helped...

Let us take heed.

May our prayers be more like love letters than grocery lists.

Most people assume they're good with God.

So, telling them the good news of Jesus Christ while avoiding telling them the bad news about their sin, hell, and God's wrath just confirms their self-deception.

[Burk Parsons @BurkParsons]

When you don't feel like praying, just remember that Jesus is praying for you, and you'll say, "thank you, Lord," and then you have begun to pray.

Let's come to worship worshiping and leave worship worshiping. Worship isn't an hour, it's a life.

Legalism is just another form of liberalism that disguises itself in the clothes of conservatism.
