I am a husband, father, friend, and pastor of Ricer Club Church. Most importantly, I am a follower of Jesus.

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

Of course, there are days when I do desire the Lord and he truly is the strength of my heart. But how can I be more consistent?

I think the answer is simple: ASK FOR DAILY GRACE.

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

Every day, you need to humbly admit that your desires are often more for the created world than for the Lord.

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

God never made a mistake. And that includes who you are, down to your pinky toe.

[Tim Tebow @TimTebow]

If someone asked you today why you live differently — what would you say?

There's a reason you don't fall apart the way everyone else does.
A reason you can show up with peace in the middle of chaos.
Forgiveness when you've been wronged.
Hope when the situation says there's nothing to hope for.

That's not personality. That's not positivity. That's Jesus.
And the people in your life — at work, home, in your everyday, they're noticing something they can't quite explain.

One day they're going to ask you about it.

Be ready to tell them why.

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

Again, we can never be reminded of this enough.
Our identity is only safe in one Person. Jesus Christ!

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

Achievement is a very dangerous place to find identity. You will disappoint yourself, others will disappoint you, and your list of successes won't satisfy the craving of your soul. Only the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ will.

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

Our relationships are so essential that God positioned the command to love one another as second only to the call to love him (Matthew 22:37-39).

[Shane Pruitt @shane_pruitt78]

Too many people want a God that loves and accepts them, but doesn't lead and change them.

He doesn't work like that.

[Blue Lives Matter @bluelivesmtr]

POWERFUL: This woman approached a police officer and said: "I'm pregnant. I'm homeless, I'm a drug addict, and I'm done."

There was a treatment center she wanted help getting into, but had no transportation.

The officer didn't hesitate - he followed procedure by checking her pockets, then put her in his patrol vehicle and asked if she was hungry.

On the way to the center, he took her to grab dinner on his dime... giving her the choice to eat outside with him or in the car out of respect to her.

Then he he drove her straight to the treatment facility and handed her off safely.

THESE are the stories the media buries. Let's fix that.

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

When we assess the trouble in our lives, many of us forget to calculate the existence, character, and plan of God.
So look up and remember that above your life is a throne, and it's occupied by a God of unimaginable majesty and power, ruling and controlling this universe for his glory and your good.

Great assistant coaches make 3 things stronger:

The head coach.
The players.
The culture.

The best staffs move in the same direction.

[Matt Smethurst @MattSmethurst]

Six ingredients of true repentance:

1. Sight of sin
2. Sorrow for sin
3. Confession of sin
4. Shame for sin
5. Hatred of sin
6. Turning from sin

— Thomas Watson (1620–1686)

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

Our job is not to accomplish the task;
our job is to go.
Let God do the saving.
It’s your job to do the going.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Coaches who only correct never connect.

“Negative experiences without teaching kill morale.” - Nick Saban

The hard moment isn’t the problem.

Leaving it without a lesson is.

That’s what transformational coaching actually looks like.

[Shane Pruitt @shane_pruitt78]

If you're single and wanting to get married…

You can't run with the devil and expect to attract someone following Jesus.

[Jim Shapiro @jimshapiro]

Ummm…This quote….

“Discipline looks boring until you see what it builds.”

Pure facts.

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

It's true that God never misses a sin, nor does he ignore, nor does he minimize. But instead of responding with life-ending wrath against the transgressor, he looks down and sees the blood of his Son blotting out the sinful deed.

[Shane Pruitt @shane_pruitt78]

Everyone talks about needing a "heart for ministry", but we also need a "spine for ministry" too.

We are called to bow the knee to Christ only, not culture.

[Louie Giglio @louiegiglio]

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." // 1 John 1:9

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

The Good News is that Jesus came to earth to fix what is broken - your heart.
