"He is not ashamed to call them his children." (Hebrews 2:11)
Let that sink in: Jesus knows EVERYTHING about you—every struggle, every failure, every weakness—and He is NOT ASHAMED of you. You belong to Him. #BelovedOfGod #UnashamedIdentity #AdoptedByGrace

People treat God’s sovereignty as a matter of controversy, but in Scripture it is a matter of worship.

Some church will always have better coffee, better music, better facilities, better speaking, better marketing.

Showcase Christ and his gospel. Nobody can improve on that.

@BethMooreLPM @ErikReed My daughter, who’s turned away from Christ, attributes a visit to Lottie Moon’s grave as a catalyst to her decision.

Came across this Chesterton quotation again, which I posted several years ago:

"The aim of human polity is the making glad of the heart of man. There is no obligation on us to be richer, or busier, or more efficient, or more productive, or more progressive, or in any way worldlier or wealthier, if it does not make us happier."

Christianity declares the highest form of masculinity to be found in a crucified God.

Those who find this to be weak or effeminate tell more about their own insecurities than they do about the God of the Bible.

@GigglingGanon These “press” people are some of the worst humans.

Jesus does not despise us for our weakness. Instead, it moves him with compassion, and compels him to draw all the nearer to us. #TheMercyKing

“Hence all theology outside of Christ is not only confused and worthless but mad, deceitful, and counterfeit. For although the philosophers sometimes let fall excellent utterances, all they have is fleeting and mixed up with perverse mistakes.” - @JohnCalvinQuote @JohnCalvinDaily

@PLeithart wondering if you’ve ever read this one. I’m enjoying it

@RaminNasibov The “secular” French Revolution executed three times as many people in 9 months (17,000+) as the “religious” Spanish Inquisition did in 350 years (5–6,000).

@JoshuaBarzon Changing my reservation! 🤣

@PLeithart Which book is this from?

This is likely the earliest Christian symbol, exactly as it appears in the oldest manuscript of the Gospel of Luke (c. AD 200). It is a clever ligature — superimposing the Greek letters tau (Τ) and rho (Ρ) to depict a man hanging on a cross. Even better, the scribe formed this image within the Greek word for "cross" (ΣΤΑΥΡΟΣ, stauros) in the words of Jesus: "Whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple" (Luke 14:27). And, yes, this is my next T-shirt.

@SetraHost Very happy I moved from @bluehost to @SetraHost years ago. Performance, security and support have been excellent.

Depends on your view of it. If it is simply a memorial, then space it out, however you like. However, if it is a means of grace by which we spiritually feed on the Lord Jesus Christ, being affirmed in our forgiveness and strengthened for our walk, then of course, do it every week. That’s what we do.

@MarioNawfal Poor chicken.

This is the most detailed MRI scan of an unborn baby.

At just 20 weeks, she is moving, turning her head, kicking—even standing. Her beating heart is also visible.

Human life is a miracle.
