Competency gets you in the room. Character keeps you in the room. As a result, it's character—not competency—that determines your capacity. https://t.co/hxnHSeqdnE via @cnieuwhof
The first person in scripture to name God is Hagar.
A woman. Single mother. African slave.
She says “I have seen the one who sees me.”
God calls her by name. Abram and Sarai do not.
God has a way of exalting the vulnerable.
If Jesus spent 8 hrs a day, every day, for 3 years w/his disciples, he would have spent over 8,000 hours w/them. And after all that time, they still had major gaps!
1 hour a week on Sunday will never change people.
We need a life that abides in him, with the support of others.
There are over 8,000 promises in the Bible... but there is one that occurs more often than all the others. Five words: “I will be with you.” Don’t underestimate those words, at least not now.
