This Advent let's celebrate Christ's light that comes into the darkness of this world and the dark places of our lives.

[Grant Wilson @GrantWilson4]

We need to be responsible with the riches & the power we have that the poor & powerless do not become oppressed because of us. #MarysSong

[Grant Wilson @GrantWilson4]

We are called to accept & to live the whole #Gospel but the Gospel is full of tension & we are called to live in the midst of that tension.

[Grant Wilson @GrantWilson4]

We need to realize that there may be some in our lives that the only way they will ever be open to God’s grace is through us. #livegrace

[Grant Wilson @GrantWilson4]

Bless those who persecute you...Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. #sharegrace

As Aslan walks away Tumnus says He’ll be back. When? In time...you mustn't press him, He isn't a tame lion... No, but He is good.

"If your god never disagrees with you, you might just be worshiping an idealized version of yourself." @timkellernyc This Sunday.

We all want to live in the kingdom where community and relationship are important but we want visitation rights to where it is all about me.

@Tophocles hey Toph. I have a mtg that night. Rats. I'd have love to hear you lecture.

Leaving the beaten paths of our minds.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind

[Grant Wilson @GrantWilson4]

We are to live thankfulness. Only when we do so can we hope to keep a good perspective on our lives. #Thanksgiving #ThanksBeToGod

[Grant Wilson @GrantWilson4]

Holy Communion is not just an individualistic act of piety for personal forgiveness but a coming together of God’s people in unity in Christ

[Grant Wilson @GrantWilson4]

It is only in and through our brother Jesus that we have any hope but in Him we have every hope. #TheProdigalGod #Godwelcomesushome

[Grant Wilson @GrantWilson4]

We had to celebrate and be glad because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found. Luke 15:32

[Grant Wilson @GrantWilson4]

God comes to make His home with us.
He doesn’t just come for a visit.
He doesn’t appear and disappear on us.
He makes His home with us

[Grant Wilson @GrantWilson4]

Church as home: the place where we devote ourselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

[Grant Wilson @GrantWilson4]

They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Acts 2:42 #welcomehomechurch

[Grant Wilson @GrantWilson4]

We did not take our place from God; He gave it to us as a gift. Our glory is not of our own making; it is God’s gift to us. #sermononpsalm8

God does not always provide us with the #help & protection we want but He always provides us with the help & protection we need. #psalm121
