If God stake everything on something other than Jesus, then that thing would be the means of salvation.
Let’s be clear, a Christian saying something other than Jesus is foundational is teaching heresy.
“If you want understand Jesus look at his towel and basin,…if you want to follow Jesus pick up your own towel and basin”… John 13. @GraceChurchIN@barryrod
"John intentionally steers clear of specific ethical commands because he understood Jesus was not calling his followers to behavior modification. Jesus was calling his followers to adopt a whole new way of life. " -@barryrod@GraceChurchIN
Dear Evangelicals,
You raised an entire generation of church kids like me to not use “replacement words” for cussing, like “frick” or “geez.”
You should be the last ones to say “Let’s Go Brandon.”
Apparently, thousands of Romanians have been waiting in their personal vehicles to pick up #refugees at one of the NE borders with #Ukraine.
I'm not often elated at news from back home, but this makes my heart swell. #StandWithUkriane#standwithrefugees
Reflecting on pastoring for 25 yrs:
With a therapist, I cataloged all the folks that ghosted me (almost 100 over the yrs).
Spend time in their homes, baptize their kids, cry with them in tragedy, counsel them through crisis.
Then vamoosh they're gone. It's a painful calling.

Our hospitals are taking in more patients than we have beds. Treating strokes, cancer and car accidents is becoming a daily challenge. What can you do to help? Get vaccinated. Get boosted. Get tested. Get masked. https://t.co/j0bjk3EuqD
“If you’ve never done the work with God’s Spirit to be transformed in your normal, daily life, then how do you expect to act like Jesus when the pressure is on?��� - Pastor Barry Rodriguez
Out of all 50 states and Washington, D.C., Indiana had one of the lowest vaccination rates and one of the highest hospitalization rates. https://t.co/D9gvOXZkjT
Yesterday a girl at My son’s school posted a shooting threat on TikTok. She was expelled and arrested.
Today a boy was arrested and expelled for a bomb threat.
Pray for our kids. Pray for parents. And don’t ever become resigned to thinking this is normal.
