Our worries are so great and our faith so small, yet God's provision is abundant and His mercies never ceasing.

Listen to God. He's got this.

One valuable book coming out soon is Tony Wolfe's A Deacon on Purpose. Here's a peek into it on how Deacons need to function: "Deacons are expected to be servant-leaders, models of
what it means to be a good steward of the “'varied grace of God.'" https://t.co/988NEaADtj

Yesterday as I was renewing my daughter’s gym membership, I asked Steve, the guy who was helping me, at the front desk about his tattoos and it led to a spiritual conversation.

He told me that growing up both his parents were agnostic and so was he.

But he had just recently started reading the Bible and was interested in knowing more about spiritual things, but he didn’t know where to go to church.

As I rattled off a few ideas (he lived far from our church) and began to share the Gospel with him, a pastor friend of mine who has a church that is closer to where he lives, walked up to check into the gym and said hello to me.

I introduced Pastor Joel to my new friend and they made a connection. As I was leaving I told Steve “This was no accident. God sent Pastor Joel at just the right time to connect with you.”

He smiled and nodded, knowing that God was up to something.

Pray for Steve to fully understand the Gospel and put his faith in Jesus. Pray for Steve to get connected to a solid church. He’s heard the Gospel and now knows a pastor who works out at his gym.

Fellow believers, I find most people willing to engage in spiritual conversations if we ASK-ADMIRE-ADMIT:

ASK questions about them, their lives, jobs, (tattoos 😀), and spiritual journeys.

ADMIRE what you can about their beliefs, like Paul did with the philosophers at the Areopagus in Acts 17.

ADMIT the reason you need Jesus and then share your testimony and then the GOSPEL.

That’s what I did in 10 minutes at the front desk of a fitness center yesterday.

That’s what you can do today, any day and every day.

God gave a big exclamation point to his divine intervention when he sent Pastor Joel to the front desk of the gym at just the right time.

And stop saying to yourself, “Well, this kind of stuff happens all the time to Greg because he’s an evangelist.”

That’s Satan’s lie whispering in your ear, trying to convince you that you can’t do the same thing.

You have the same Holy Spirit I do (Ephesians 1:13,14.)

You have the same anointing I do (1 John 2:20.)

You have the same Gospel I do (Romans 1:16.)

You have the same mission I do (Matthew 28:18-20.)

So go for it!

The SBC Executive Committee has elected Jeff Iorg as the President-elect of the EC at a special-called meeting in Dallas.

@mhenslee Ministry is not something that's done from afar. We must pray for and walk with them as members of one another. Glad God's using you there. Have a good Sunday, brother.

[Fran Trascritti @frantras]

Praise God

@JoWiKi FSU with a hurt quarterback is not a #4 pick. Unfortunate but true.

3 Temptations for the Pastor from @AlistairBegg:

1️⃣The Temptation to Shine - To seek the limelight, enjoy admiration, & love his own voice.

2️⃣The Temptation to Recline - To become lazy.

3️⃣ The Temptation to Whine - To complain endlessly about the weight & troubles he endures.

[Shane Pruitt @shane_pruitt78]

Too many people want Jesus to save them so they can go to Heaven, while also wanting to remain in control of their own life. But, real salvation doesn’t work like that.

When Jesus saves your life, He also takes control of your life. He is both Savior and Lord.
