@bartbarber Great stuff Bart. 18 years ago, I began taking a 3-4 day sermon planning retreat (Glorieta, then Ridgecrest, now a getaway in Idaho). At the end of that week, I generally have the series, texts, main idea of each message for next year. I wish I'd have this started 35 years ago

The greatest thing I heard at the SBC this week was not from the platform. It was in the exhibit hall.

A vendor at the Evangelism Explosion booth lead 2 people to Jesus this week! One was a tour bus driver the other was a young man who was a messenger for his church!

Voter ID is required to vote in:

But Democrats argue that it is racist to require voter ID in the United States

Something doesn’t add up

…there is no linear blueprint for grief. One day you’re collapsed on the floor crying out the name Jesus in between labored breaths. The next you’re playing with your children in the living room, surrounded by family photos, and feeling a rush of something you can only attempt to define as divinely planted and bittersweet joy as a smile breaks through on your face.

They say time heals. But love doesn’t ask to be healed. Love asks to be remembered. It’s humbling to realize that this magnitude of suffering didn’t steal my love for my husband. It amplified it. It crystallized it.

I carry my Charlie in every breath, in every ache, and in every quiet act of day to day living as I attempt to relearn what that rhythm will be.

And what I’ve realized through these past 30 days is the greater the suffering, the purer the love. And I have never loved him more than I do now.

Guess what “everything” in means in the Greek. Excacty what it means in English - “all, everything”!

In Christ, God has granted us everything necessary for life and godliness.

That means that JESUS IS ENOUGH!

Whole thing is incredible, but start at the 4:00 mark... the gospel being clearly spoken from The White House of the United States.

A Christian understanding of religious liberty = the government should ALLOW freedom in religion, but should PROMOTE the true one.

This is that.

The turning point for America is realizing the whole point is turning to Jesus.

Only God can give a grieving widow the heart, serenity, and strength to forgive her husband's assassin only 11 days after he shot him.

Only God.

If you watch anything from today's Charlie Kirk memorial service, let it be these words from @MrsErikaKirk.

This is the Gospel in real life. Just... wow.
