Quick PSA: make sure you (and your parents, grandparents, neighbors… anyone you love) know your Apple ID and password.
Currently in the Apple Store. 3 people next to me have spent an hour calling everyone they know trying to figure theirs out. Tattoo it on your thigh if you must

Greenwood Mall in Bowling Green, KY was a dream in 2003. Had to go to a mall yesterday for some shoes for the boys and it was a weird wasteland.

[Jesse Pawley @jessepawley]

We really blew it when we let indoor mall culture die.

There was something magical about being 13, getting dropped off with $10 in your pocket and a few hours to kill. You’d wander the food court, maybe hit the arcade, maybe just roam and people-watch…

[Jesse Pawley @jessepawley]

It was a world built for low stakes freedom to learn independence, social cues, and how to just be.

Honestly, I’d pay a premium in stores just to bring it all back…

[Jesse Pawley @jessepawley]

@MichaelMatala I thought the exact same thing yesterday when I saw this. Just so out of touch with real people.

[Jesse Pawley @jessepawley]

I’ve come to find that the Christians I admire most turn out to be the ones that pray the most.

[Jesse Pawley @jessepawley]

People all around us are seeing crosses, empty tombs, and hearing about Jesus. Some of the easiest evangelistic opportunities we'll get for the next 365 days! /2

[Jesse Pawley @jessepawley]

The next few days of Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday are our yearly reminder of both the consequences of our sin and the grace and hope extended to us all. /1

@RevChrisDavis And humble SERVANT as well. At almost 90 years old he’s regularly on his hands and knees keeping our landscaping looking beautiful at church.

Awakening can happen anywhere in any heart. Let us be filled with the Spirit so that we may go and live righteous lives, proclaiming the Gospel, and loving our neighbor.

“Let every heart prepare Him room!” /2

[Jesse Pawley @jessepawley]

What if we considered the Asbury revival isn’t some “Holy Spirit portal” that people are walking into, but rather their perception of the experience is softening their heart to the movement of the Spirit in that specific place. /1

[Jesse Pawley @jessepawley]

The Bible doesn’t care about our political alignment or presuppositions. Let’s learn to be faithful to the entirety of Scripture and live consistent, Spirit-filled, God-honoring lives. 4/4

[Jesse Pawley @jessepawley]

Teach the Prophets if you’re prepared to be called a liberal.
Obey the 10 Commandments if you’re prepared to be called a conservative. 1/4

[Jesse Pawley @jessepawley]

Preach sexual ethics from Paul’s Epistles if you want to be named a bigot.
Live out open-handed generosity from Acts if you want to be named a socialist. 3/4

@drggrobinson I am sure this is all causing chaos for educators tho, but I feel like it’s a perfect time to pivot to a more immersive learning environment that this level of AI can’t pervert.

[Jesse Pawley @jessepawley]

@drggrobinson I was thinking more along the lines of students who aren’t applying what they’re learning (specifically thinking seminary). Less about the assignments on that one.

[Jesse Pawley @jessepawley]

For so many (me being the chief of this group) being discerning (a good thing) and being critical (not always a good thing) have melded into one.
How does someone keep their head about them, staying positive, but also wise and discerning?

[Jesse Pawley @jessepawley]

We serve a God who wants His creation to know His will and His character.

God isn’t finished knowing and being known by His creation. God isn’t finished speaking and listening to His creation.

Let’s all commit to reading God’s Word and crying out to Him in prayer this year.
