The world is unraveling, and as it does, the way of Jesus will become more beautiful and compelling. Let’s model humility, integrity, and love, and open arms of mercy and grace to those looking for hope and meaning in the chaos.

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

You can’t believe in the sovereignty of God and be anxious every time you face something unexpected or that you can’t control.

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

Hope is not found in knowing the future, but in resting in the one who not only knows it, but rules it with power, grace and faithfulness.

[Jordan Easley @jordaneasley]

Don't forget...

The Armor of God isn't a onesy. You've got to choose to put on every single piece if you're going to be prepared for battle today!

(Eph. 6:10-20)

[The Daily Spurgeon @dailyspurgeon]

Put away the crucifix! Let your soul wear the cross, not your body. Hang not up the image of Christ on the wall, hang it upon the walls of your heart, there let his image be stored.

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

Corporate worship is designed to give you such a huge rest in the grace of God that you no longer resist the conviction, admission and confession of sin.

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

Few things stimulate sturdy hope like consistent gratitude. If you have reason to be thankful, you have reason for hope.

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

There is nothing you face that your Savior fails to notice, purposefully ignores or that catches him surprised and unprepared,

[Lysa TerKeurst @LysaTerKeurst]

We can lay in bed with a soundtrack of fear and worry playing in our head, or we can drift off to sleep listening to music that will remind our souls how near, how faithful, and how good our God is.

Worship lifts our thoughts to a place where worry can no longer reach us.

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

You do not have to bear your burdens alone, your Savior has invited you to cast your cares on him.

[Jon Tyson @JonTyson]

Absolutley struck to the heart today reading the list of the Apostles Jesus chose. We know almost nothing about most of them. Its possible to be chosen by Jesus, build redemtpive history, and be unknown to the world. Recognition in heaven breaks the need for recognition on earth.

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

Don’t waste life constantly reacting, constantly defending yourself and trying to talk people into a different view of you. People are overwrought & need targets for their stress & anger & a cover for their fear. Have compassion. Live your vapor-short life faithfully before God.

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

Don’t stop trusting the Lord just because you couldn’t trust people. He is altogether different, altogether holy, gracious, compassionate, merciful & good. He keeps his word. Keeps you. Place your faith in Christ alone. He will get you through. Weep, yes, but knowing joy cometh.

[Matt Smethurst @MattSmethurst]

The desire to obey rarely precedes the decision to obey.

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

God never calls us in to love and change us without then sending us out to reach and serve others.

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

A heart to obey doesn’t gain you God’s acceptance, no, a heart to obey is a result of God’s acceptance.

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

God’s commitment to new mercies every morning, for what we will face that day, is a sure sign that he knows how much we are in constant need of his help and care.

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

Where you place your hope will control your thoughts desires, choices, actions and words.

[Bob Goff @bobgoff]

God uses the hardest parts in our lives to prepare us for the best parts.
