We keep Sabbath not because it makes us more productive at work. We keep it to resist the idol of productivity.

We are more than what we produce.

The sad irony of our day is we can be deeply committed to being a Christian but not be deeply formed by Christ.

Remarkable speech. Addressed to the Russian people, it should also be heard everywhere.

If you fail…just own it. Don’t shift the blame. Don’t beat yourself up. If there’s consequences, let them shape your character.

"Atheism cannot explain the beauty and wonder of being human. It has no answer to brokenness. It won't satisfy a hunger for purpose, justice, or immortality, because nothing ultimately matters." — Greg Koukl, "Atheism: Bumping into Reality," #STRUniversity https://t.co/AK4TS0Qz5r

Three Ways Atheism Bumps into Reality:

1. The Bump of Stuff — Where did we come from?
2. The Bump of Bad — Who is our moral law giver?
3. The Bump of Me — Why are we valuable?

"And now, with God's help, I shall become myself.”
- Soren Kierkegaard

The only self I am interested in becoming is the self God is faithfully calling and empowering me to be. And it is enough.

One thing you notice when you put Twitter aside for a while and spend your time in real life, is that those things you thought everyone was talking about almost no one is talking about.

If you want to see if grace rules a church culture, don't just go to the Sunday service -- attend a business meeting.

[Elijah @Personhoodlives]

Being celibate doesn’t mean I can’t deeply love people, or even be deeply loved.

And honestly, it doesn’t mean I’ve never fallen in love with someone. As I follow my convictions though, that love is sanctified in its intimacy.

You can’t heal if you keep pretending you’re not hurt.

Things are never as simple as they appear to angry eyes. Try to remember that next time you’re angry.

Every breath we have is a gift from God to be used for God.

We begin the day in silence because God should have the first word. We end the day in silence because God should have the last word.

“If the Bible says something once, notice it but don’t count it as a fundamental principle. If it says it twice, think about it twice. If it is repeated many times, then dwell on it and seek to understand it." #DallasWillard #HearingGod

[Lesslie Newbigin @LesslieNewbigin]

If the biblical story does not control our thinking, then we will be swept into the story that the world tells about itself.

“It is much more important to cultivate the quiet, inward space of a constant listening than to always be approaching God for specific direction.” - Dallas Willard #HearingGod
