Sometimes I think of the things I’ve said publicly where I misspeak, over speak, and just plain get it wrong, and really struggle. Those moments replaying in my head like a dripping faucet. James 3:2 reminds me that everyone stumbles repeatedly, and this universal experience isn’t hidden or shameful, it’s acknowledged as part of our humanity. This isn’t an excuse for those times, but reassurance not to dwell on them.

I need to be continually reminded that my identity in light of my inadequacy rests on God’s response to my failures. God compassionates those who fear him, knowing our fragile nature and that we are dust (Ps 103:10–14). Rather than withdrawing, God demonstrates his love by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners (Rom 5:8). This means acceptance precedes our improvement. God knows how truly inadequate and incompetent I am, and yet still accepts me. Not because of my successes and failures but in spite of them.

We should strive to get things right, do things well, and show competence. But rather than demanding perfection, Christ understands our struggles and invites us to approach God’s throne confidently to receive mercy and grace in our time of need when we inevitably fall short (Heb 4:15–16).

Recovery from failure receives particular emphasis. The righteous fall repeatedly but rise again (Prov 24:16), and though the righteous fall, they won’t be destroyed because God holds them by the hand (Ps 37:23–24). God’s mercies are new each morning, and his faithfulness is great (Lam 3:22–23); suggesting that each day offers fresh opportunity regardless of yesterday’s failures.

I need the constant encouragement to forget what lies behind and press forward toward the goal (Phil 3:13–14), indicating that dwelling on past mistakes contradicts the gospel’s forward momentum. I have made many mistakes: some more public than others! And guess what, I will continue to do so, but my prayer is that God and those around me give me grace in such instances. Look towards Jesus — the only one who got and gets it right every time.

@Atlas_EBE @MikeWingerii Study bibles are actually really great tools though. If your a new Christian I would actually recommend. It's so helpful to get some extra context when your reading something that can feel so foreign.

@Brew_man84 @GrizzledTexan @MikeWingerii @grok Welp I can see the whole thing about fruits of the spirit got ignored. Kindness... I believe that's in the KJV...

[Jacob Malcolm @JakeMalc]

@MikeWingerii Come to Florida

[Jacob Malcolm @JakeMalc]

@DrFrankTurek Yea. It's awesome!

[Jacob Malcolm @JakeMalc]

@RuslanKD @Protestia No the rap interludes are the issue...
C'mon no one came to church pumped up for that.

@TheBabylonBee When you share the gospel, baptize someone, then forget their name...

[Jacob Malcolm @JakeMalc]

@sola_chad No ...

God knows the number but did not choose it. We choose to follow our reject. God knows what we will choose. But I love Voddie

@Kael2510 @Protestia Continuationist have to be correct and so does Bill. But Bill is not... So he's good.

@deluxe_fox @SonofManwithus So being a good person gets you to heaven? I'm with you on the baptism.

[Jacob Malcolm @JakeMalc]

@Protestia God is powerful enough to create the world and immaculately concieve himself into humanity. But a few loose cells.... Nah that's too much to sort out.

[Jacob Malcolm @JakeMalc]

@adekoyaoyinda I think it's is all about the mentality and a plan. Know what you are reading everyday. Know when you are reading. And know when your going to make up a missed read.

The mentality has to be pretty aggressive to be everyday. It's easier when you feed into your desire to know God

@Meldougherty77 Point 2 hits hard

@MikeWingerii Previous church I worked for did sign nda's. Thankfully and by the grace of God I kinda "fell" out of that church but God landed me at an amazing church.

NDA's are a clear sign that the church is not healthy.

@daily_braves @kardashiannn___ Beed down all day. Still nothing.

[Jacob Malcolm @JakeMalc]

@WesleyLHuff Reformed doesn't have to mean Calvinist... You don't have to believe in any of TULIP to be reformed.

I think we need to separate these two ideas.
