Belgium complaining about the integrity of FIFA is very funny.

A quick google search will be all you need.

Healthy ministry leaders are low-drama.

We don't attract it, stir it up, perpetuate it, and—in most cases—we don't even know about it.

Spread calm and peace, not drama and mess.

@JROMSMITH We just traded away two players we drafted for I think 8 total firsts?!

Not to mention a guy that still has a market after playing like 30 games over the last few years.

Is that a reason not to take Jaylen Brown? No!

But to assert they are not good at drafting is absurd.

@memphiscountry You need to have @gostkowski or @jake_elliott22 on there. Super Bowl Champs and incredible careers.

Speed is the enemy of delegation.

Before Adam called out, God came walking in the garden asking, “Where are you?” Before we loved Him, He loved us first.

The story of the gospel is not ultimately our pursuit of God, but God’s relentless pursuit of sinners in Christ.

@LeviBakerink @Badmav10 I feel like this Egyptian illustration is the exact symbolism in immersion. The Egyptians were submerged and died that is the identification of the death and burial of Jesus in baptism.

@waynebray @lukedsimmons Awesome. Love learning form @lukedsimmons and his team. I'm sure that was great.

“The man on the middle cross said I could come.”

Easter week. Watch it. And watch it again. And then chase after Jesus.

“At regular intervals we all need to quit our work and contemplate his, quit talking to each other and listen to him. God knows we need this and has given us a means in sabbath - a day for praying and playing, simply enjoying what He is.”

Cynicism is easy. Building is hard.

The world already has plenty of critics.
What it needs are builders.

The world has plenty of people pointing out what’s wrong. What it needs are people who build what’s right

Here are 5 reasons building is better:

@ianharber Which edition is this?

[Jason Kovacs @jasonkovacs]

Without the gospel counseling becomes -

“Do better.”
“You should...”
“Just...”

Law without grace crushes or hardens the heart.

The gospel says: Christ has done for you what you could not do. Come into the light. Repent. Trust. Walk in newness of life by the Spirit.

“Any advice for me?,” asked the new 23 year-old pastoral resident.

“Yes,” I said. “Don’t read The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry for at least 15 years.”

[J.C. Thompson @jcisonline]

@parkervb901 The thing you are missing is that the “if we were healthy we would be a good team” is better emotionally than not knowing.

Could it be better, sure but we have no idea. 2nd in west and the current iteration after this deal today are dramatically different.
