I love Jesus, my wife, my kids, and helping pastors reach their full potential.

I bookmarked this post seven years ago because it’s a good reminder. Stay in the Word and you’ll win the spiritual battle. Thanks for the post @pastormark.

He has good plans.

Jesus has good plans for you.

Trust Him for He is good.

Happy birthday @realDonaldTrump. 80 great years. May our Heavenly Father grant you many more years of blessings. #MAGA

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

Happy Birthday to the 45th and 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. A relentless patriot who fights every day for the country he loves, the people he serves, and the American Dream. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

I love this video from @spencerpratt.

What is he passionate about:
Revenge? No.

Fighting corruption.

No country can long endure a corrupt government. May we fight against corruption as passionately as he is.

[Joel Bruce @jcbruce]

Our Father knows what He is doing!

Trust Him with whatever you’re worried about today.

““For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways.” This is the Lord’s declaration.”
Isaiah 55:8 CSB https://t.co/Sf5XBjX5j0

[Joel Bruce @jcbruce]

When we trust in Jesus, He takes away our fears and replaces them with peace.

“You will keep the mind that is dependent on you in perfect peace, for it is trusting in you. Trust in the Lord forever, because in the Lord, the Lord himself, is an everlasting rock!”
Isaiah 26:3-4

[Joel Bruce @jcbruce]

Yeah! It’s great to see young Christian leaders like @ibrycecrawford speak out for Jesus.

Also, here’s my advice as an OG to young men in ministry:

1) Surround yourself with people who love you for you.
2) Listen to them.

[Joel Bruce @jcbruce]

I am a deeply flawed human being.

But I am deeply loved by Jesus who took my sins on Himself.

““Come, let’s settle this,” says the Lord. “Though your sins are scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are crimson red, they will be like wool.”
Isaiah 1:18 CSB

[Joel Bruce @jcbruce]

Spending the day @SeaPinesResort today. The wind is strong and the sun is hot. And yet the wind and waves remind me how glorious My Savior Jesus is.

Psalm 29:3

The voice of the LORD is over the waters;
the God of glory thunders,
the LORD, over many waters.

[Joel Bruce @jcbruce]

Truth.

[Franklin Graham @Franklin_Graham]

“Christ is the Son of God. He died to atone for men's sin, and after three days rose again. This is the most important fact in the universe.” —Watchman Nee

[Joel Bruce @jcbruce]

Thanks for the post @ryanburge. I didn’t know the decline of these denominations was so steep. What conclusions should we draw from the decline?

Jesus sees you.

He knows you.

And He loves you.

Your only proper response is to live for His glory.

“The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, observing the wicked and the good.”
Proverbs 15:3 CSB

[Joel Bruce @jcbruce]

Your words are powerful. The Bible says, “Life and death is in the tongue.”

May our words today be full of life!

“The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence.”
Proverbs 10:11 CSB

[Joel Bruce @jcbruce]

Do you know how valuable you are?

Have you contemplated your worth in relationship to the universe?

You have far greater value than the stars in the sky because you were custom designed by your Father’s own hands.

[Joel Bruce @jcbruce]

A good verse for today and every day.

“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his faithful love endures forever.”
Psalms 118:29 CSB

[Joel Bruce @jcbruce]

Whoever you are.

Whatever you’ve done.

You are loved.

And Jesus showed you how much.

John 1:29
The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”

[Joel Bruce @jcbruce]

Question: who are you encouraging today? Every day you have an opportunity to encourage others.

1 Thessalonians 4:18:

Therefore encourage one another with these words.

[Joel Bruce @jcbruce]

Let this be our prayer today, Jesus! 14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.
