Guys… go ahead and turn your man card in and enjoy these Hallmark movies win you wives. Some good clean romance.

[Shane Pruitt @shane_pruitt78]

It’s that time of year again to have a moment of silence...

For all the big city guys wearing suits and ties that are about to lose their fiancée to a small town guy wearing plaid flannels on all the Hallmark Christmas Movies.

251 years ago today the Continental Marines were established.

Today we remember a sergeant who lost both legs on Mar 8, 1971, and the 8 words his father said from IL.

Happy birthday, Marines. Ep 7 is live! -- Tim Lee, Hold the Pattern Ep 7

[Jack Graham @jackngraham]

Episode 7 of @HoldThePattern with @marinetimlee is live now. Be sure to watch or listen each Monday.

He had no prosthetics, no discharge date, and no evidence anything good was coming.

He made the decision first and let the life catch up to it.

President Trump was asked on the 60 minutes interview what will happen after you die? Life s most important question is Where will you spend eternity? The President answered I hope I go to Heaven not Hell. There is one way a person can absolutely know the answer and live in the certainty that Heaven is their eternal destiny. Jesus said I am the Way the Truth and the Life and no one comes to the Father except by me. John 14:6. Everyone including the President needs to nail this down. Salvation is a gift to be received not a goal to be achieved. Not by the works of righteous we have done but according to His mercy he has saved us. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. Acts 16:31.

Congratulations on a great Championship season Lady Lions! An amazing group of athletes. Very proud of you and our great Coach Ryan Mitchell.

[Matt Welch @MWelchSLM]

STORY: @PCAAthletics put an exclamation mark on a special season and the one-of-a-kind career of now-11-time state champion Ryan Mitchell, who's retiring from coaching HS volleyball. Prestonwood won its 4th TAPPS title in 5 years after sweeping Antonian.

We have been blessed by the next level leadership of Ryan Mitchell. A championship coach. Thanks Ryan. You are the best.

[Matt Welch @MWelchSLM]

BREAKING: Another state title for @PCAAthletics HC Ryan Mitchell, and there's a bit more emotion to this one as Mitchell confirms that he's retiring from coaching HS volleyball.

Fitting end to a legendary coaching career as Mitchell wins his 11th state title.

Absolutely Jimmy!!! @JimmyScroggins

[Jimmy Scroggins @JimmyScroggins]

So I guess we are back to Negative World.

Here’s my response: Disciple more men. More Christian marriages. More Christian Dads and Moms. More Christian children. More Christian churches. More Christian schools. More Christian-owned businesses. More Christians in politics & government. Dig in. Focus on your neighborhood. Preach the Word. Set an example. Do evangelism. Love your neighbors. Send missionaries to the nations.

Jesus Wins.

[Jack Graham @jackngraham]

@waynesibrava I appreciate that Wayne. God bless you JG

[Jack Graham @jackngraham]

America took a sharp turn politically in the midterms as leftist ideologies prevailed but as always we have complete confidence that God will renew the courage of His church. There is no panic. Jesus Won. Pray and believe.

This is a pastor not a hireling. 💪🏼

[Seth Troutt @Seth_Troutt]

"You two are living together. Tell me more about that," I said in my office.

"We already know it's not Biblical," the bride-to-be said.

"Okay. Say more."

"What do you mean? I'm saying we know cohabitation isn't Biblical."

"Yeah that's what's confusing me. When you asked to meet, you told me you wanted a pastor who shares your Biblical values to do your wedding, but now you're telling me you knowing don't live according to Biblical values? Tell me about how you decided to cohabitate."

"Well, we know what the Bible says about marriage and sex, but my lease was up and if I moved in with my parents it'd be a 45 minute drive and if I got my own place again, it'd be a waste of thousands of dollars."

"Ah. So time and money are your gods."

"No they aren't, we're Christians."

"Maybe. But it seems like you're not - a god is what tells you how to live. You chose to listen to time and money on sex and cohabitation instead of Jesus. Which is your god?"

"Does this mean you won't do our wedding?"

"I didn't say that. But, you did say you wanted a pastor. That's why we're here. I'm a pastor, not a hireling wedding officiant. Do you want a pastor or a vender for your wedding?"

"A pastor."

"Okay, great. Then here's my concern for you: you've developed a habit of hardening your hearts against the authority of Scripture and the conviction of the Holy Spirit. Today, if you hear his voice, don't harden your hearts as they did in the rebellion. You said your Christians, I'll take your word for it right now, but you need to repent and move out until your wedding night. Jesus will certainly forgive if you repent and he'll cleanse you from all unrighteousness."

"Okay. So, if we don't do this then you won't do our wedding?"

"You're missing the point here. You're not even close to worried enough about what God thinks or says. My job as a pastor is to help you care about what God says, not get you to care about what I say.”

“Okay.”

“Do you have anything to say?” I said to the Groom-To-Be.

“No.”

“That’s a bummer. You’re not going to lead this family if you have nothing to say.”

“Okay.”

“Alright. Well, you have a lot to think about. If you want a pastor, I’d be happy to be a part of your wedding. If you want a vendor, let me know. More important than your wedding is your relationship with Jesus. Is He your God or not? Think and pray together.”

*an email three days later*

“We’ve decided to go a different direction.”

—
Some thoughts:
1. My heart breaks for those who make time and money their god. This idolatry is oppressive.

2. I’d for sure officiate the wedding of two non-Christians. As long as they’re okay with me telling the truth about what marriage is and who and what it’s for, I’m in. This is a 10/10 evangelism opportunity straight out of Eph 5:32.

3. But, two professing Christians who are sinning highhandedly? No. “For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? God judges those outside.” 1 Co 5:12–13).

[Clay Smith @claysmith79]

It's wild how we often chastise the American church for being fans and not followers, but our ministry model is mostly attractional; a model that has proven to be insufficient if not accompanied by relational, disciple-making emphases.

If discipleship is "come to our building once and week and hear us preach and sing." why would we think they would be anything but fans?!

[Jack Graham @jackngraham]

Here is a thought …. No amount of alcohol is worth the risk to your family.

We asked a retired NASA astronaut how we could pray for him and expected a list.

"That I would be the man that I say that I am when nobody's watching."
