@IlhanMN Minnesota *Corrupt* (not "strong"). That's your hashtag. Also, stop disrespecting POTUS during SOTU. Whether you dislike or disagree, he is the one elected by majority vote. So, you owe him respect. Instead, you looked like a child having a tantrum. Be more mature (or go home).

I'm just saying...

"All the time that it lies desolate, the land will have the rest it did not have during the sabbaths you lived in it." (Lev. 26:35)

(#ThinkAboutIt, #Covid19, #Impact)
The world is on lockdown, but the "land" is resting.

Don't "spy the land" in REBELLION. (Numbers 13:25-14:10) #DontFocusOnCircumstancesAroundYou

Instead, KNOW that God is doing something, and He has a plan. #FocusOnGod

@SpeakerPelosi @SpeakerPelosi, tearing the document was CHILDISH and a slap-in-the-face to the many families, victims, and honorees mentioned in that speech!

You can disagree with the POTUS, but you should act like an adult while doing it.

[Matthew Jones @EngineerJones_]

@SpeakerPelosi, you shamefully DISRESPECTED the current President. Tearing the speech was downright CHILDISH. You work only to push away half this nation that voted for (and support) POTUS Trump. #GrowUp

If you're not looking at JESUS, then you're not seeing the SOLUTION to your problems.

[Matthew Jones @EngineerJones_]

Note: Jesus actively RECRUITED His ministry team. (He didn't "wait" for volunteers.)

#Church, #Ministry, #ReThink, #ReShape, #FollowChrist, #PrayForProvision, #PrayForGuidance, #WalkTheLordsPath

[Matthew Jones @EngineerJones_]

The local church's "history" should not always determine that church's LITURGY.

Rather, let each church be led by, renewed by, and (if necessary) re-shaped by the Holy Spirit (in form, style, and character).

"Difficulty" is God's FERTILIZER for maturity!

In life, God will lead you toward the “impossible” so He can accomplish the UNIMAGINABLE. (#BePatient, #CallOnHim, #FollowChrist, #BeAmazed, #MarvelAtHisGreatness)

Simple truth: You can't change where you've BEEN, but you can change where you're GOING. (#Pray, #Seek, #Discern)

[Matthew Jones @EngineerJones_]

Do you need to DISCERN the will of God in your life? Easy. Just follow the path that requires the most humility, the most service, the most sacrifice and brings the most glory to God. (That's Jesus' path.)

Marriage Advice: Run a 5k together (or WALK a 5k together, or "crawl" a 5k together, or watch a 5k on TV together). Just do it together. #Growth, #CouplesTherapy

[Matthew Jones @EngineerJones_]

Jesus was decidedly abrupt, but He was not purposefully "abrasive." There is a difference. (#Evangelism, #BeLikeChrist, #CheckYourStyle)

[Matthew Jones @EngineerJones_]

A good husband is not "found." He is MADE (by his God-loving, Christ-serving wife)!

[Matthew Jones @EngineerJones_]

Stop trying to be what you CAN'T be, and start striving to be what you were MADE to be! (#SeekGod, #FindWisdom, #FollowHisPlanForYourLife)

Today's Message: Stop "pushing" to get your way, and start WAITING to get God's will. (#Isaiah, #Patience, #Faith, #Sovereignty)

[Matthew Jones @EngineerJones_]

God called us to work the vineyard He has given us - not to seek a more "dynamic" vineyard. (#MinistryMetaphor, #DontBeRestless)

Worship of God is not an escape from reality but a return to it. -Barry Webb (#MessageOfIsaiah, #Commentary)

[Matthew Jones @EngineerJones_]

No matter how intelligent and talented you are, there are certain opportunities that only GOD can align for you! So, let go of the "good" and grab hold of the BEST. (#Sovereignty, #Patience, #RelianceOnGod, #TrustInChrist)
