John Calipari on Zion Wilburn after his 15 point and 4 rebound game.
"Number 8, Zion Wilburn, sheesh. How about how physical he was against our guys? He shouldered them and moved my big guys out of the way, shot layups."
Samford at Central Arkansas, 1pm Sunday.
The forces of darkness hate my book. Would you join me in pushing back the forces of darkness back with the light and reconciling-love of King Jesus?

Most of the greatest and long lasting things God does in our lives takes time. The best things in life comes from a process not an event. Let’s stay the course.
“Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely. And may your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
1 Thessalonians 5:23
He died so we would live.
He forgave us so we would be forgiving.
He made peace with us so we would become peacemakers.
He gave us mercy so we would become merciful.
He loved us so we would become loving.
He showed us true life, he gave his life so we could live from his life.

There is a temptation in ministry to have hidden in your heart to want to become a big deal. And when it doesn’t happen you feel like a failure. Then you die to self & remember ministry isn’t about God making us a big deal but us making a big deal about Jesus.
Planting new churches is (1) an irreplaceable way to bring unchurched people to faith, (2) an irreplaceable way to renew existing churches, (3) a crucial way to develop new Christian leaders in a city, (4) the best way to reach new generations, new immigrants, new people groups.
Don’t be so quick to say “some churches need to die” this 110 year rural community church dwindled to 3 active members. 2 yrs later more than 60 gather for worship, they’ve baptized 10 people including this lake baptism today. Linwood Baptist is only one of 150 replants this year
Organizations without passion for the mission will experience the total weight of the Great Resignation and the downward momentum of a declining team. https://t.co/R11v794Z1C via @cnieuwhof
