For 2023 don’t livestream any service if your church isn’t ready for prime time. There’s no place for poor English, dizzying colors, inadequate lighting, poor singing and unprepared remarks. Pastors stop delegating and take charge.

Church leaders, you need to decide who you're going to lose: the people in your community who don't know the love of Christ, or the church member who thinks the church revolves around him (or her). https://t.co/nO03nChD8L via @cnieuwhof

The Collective Kill: When a person is socially murdered by a group, by means of a thousand little cuts of shunning and shaming, negating and neglecting, minimizing and maligning, poking and pushing, so no one person is technically to blame and the group need not feel responsible.

[Glenn Packiam @gpackiam]

I believe with all my heart that renewal is coming to the church. But it won’t be the revival of us taking back anything; it’s gonna be the revival of us laying down everything. It’s the church returning to the way of the cross. We are Jesus people.

If Christians become more like the authentic church, the more people will want to be part of it. The less we do, the more they don't.  https://t.co/K3ZvCfYTfn via @cnieuwhof

[Maxwell Ferguson @exegete2max]

The church has been harsh, judgmental, exclusionary and too often, abusive. These aren't qualities people should expect from Christians, but too often, that's exactly what Christians have shown them. https://t.co/K3ZvCfYTfn via @cnieuwhof

[Maxwell Ferguson @exegete2max]

80% of practicing Christians have a positive view of the church. Only 21% of non-Christians think of the church in a positive way. That's a startling gap. https://t.co/K3ZvCfYTfn via @cnieuwhof

Sometimes the people who are closest to us are the people who make us unable to hear the voice of Jesus. - @markaclark https://t.co/TckoBIf0XG via @cnieuwhof

@AjGroschel @djhamstra The problem is that those who will vote organizational change are the ones who will be most impacted. Selfish self interest take priority over purpose. It’s been sad for a long time. They were studying change for for than 35 years. It’s also a lack of faith.

@nafergie How about “time doth softly, quickly glid…”

@prezgraham @pastorcpbyrd So sorry to hear of your great loss. Praying for your comfort. My deepest sympathies to the Weir/Graham families.

[Maxwell Ferguson @exegete2max]

@pastorcpbyrd May God Himself comfort and hold you near as you mourn your great loss. Praying

[Maxwell Ferguson @exegete2max]

@DrSKD Praying.

May the joy, peace and good news of Christmas be yours.

When the Adventist Church's favorability was ranked with other faiths and denominations, the church was listed as largely unfavorable, with a ranking of 13 out of 17 — with 17 the most unfavorable. #nadyem21 #adventistnews #adventist

Allow whatever you’re feeling to lead you to a place of praise.

You must vote today. Staying home is a vote to destroy democracy.

[Roger Hernandez @leadSU]

Hyper critical people have private dysfunction masquerading as public holiness.
