@EricJDirksen Thanks! And how do you find this stuff? I mean both practically, so I can read more, and do you just peruse random journals? Appreciate it.

[John Compton @comptonjohn]

@EricJDirksen @roddysteves I do it every time we celebrate and I've yet to be cast out...

[John Compton @comptonjohn]

@drantbradley Have you contacted this group? https://t.co/Ow573m36eR housing first organizations like this are typically great at these types of situations.

[John Compton @comptonjohn]

@EricJDirksen If only there was a reformed denomination who had a constitution composed of confessions, polity, and liturgy...@RCAonline

[John Compton @comptonjohn]

@roddysteves James Smith says something in this area in his "you are what you love." As he highlights that we don't always love what we think we love.

[John Compton @comptonjohn]

@EricJDirksen Amazing. Reminds me of this great sermon I once heard. https://t.co/0m25NanI5M

[John Compton @comptonjohn]

@noah_livingston @RCAonline @CRCNA I think we share similar convictions that non-paedo-baptists, probably don't fit in Reformed denominations, but I also think we'd both be quick to work alongside them in a variety of settings. Therefore, I don't think it is inherently wrong to make denominational distinctions.

[John Compton @comptonjohn]

@noah_livingston @RCAonline @CRCNA I like your comment about trajectory, and the importance of moving towards one another. I do question weather our visible unity is best(or only) seen in being in 1 denomination, compared to joining together to do other collaborative work across denomination lines.

@austinchanning This helped me clear out some space real fast. https://t.co/t6yxtHaSfS

[John Compton @comptonjohn]

@noah_livingston I agree. I was able to get it on peacock in Spanish, if that's available to you.

[John Compton @comptonjohn]

@noah_livingston @RickTheule @calvinseminary Found it on the seminary's vimeo page. https://t.co/oTo0emuCnq

"A life lived with God through time is a period of incubation in which the Spirit of God is creating the capacity in us to hear the same Word anew and to make the Word echo afresh in the new crevices in our heart." @james_ka_smith

@noah_livingston Is this similar to Hiedelberg Q & A 21? "true faith is... wholehearted trust which the Holy Spirit creates in me by the gospel that God freely granted, not only to others but to me also."

[John Compton @comptonjohn]

"Shame teaches me to look at my past and see something hideous that makes me regret my existence. In grace, God looks at my past and sees the sketch of a work of art that he wants to finish painting and show the world." @james_ka_smith

“We have to change the narrative.”

Please watch/listen to and share this powerful 3+ minutes from Bryan Stevenson.

[John Compton @comptonjohn]

@smarcorodriguez Is this based on how sacramental you view worship? Unity in worship? Or use of Book of Common Prayer?

[John Compton @comptonjohn]

@noah_livingston @chuckdegroat @Calvin_Uni @calvinseminary @CRCNA Wouldn't you remove someone from office (at least for some time) if they were found to have a porn addiction, or extramarital sex?

[John Compton @comptonjohn]

@smarcorodriguez Who won? and who did you vote for? People want to know...
