See ya social media. I’m not sure when I’ll be back on here but I’m gonna take a break for a while. Here’s some photo evidence of my daughter, Ellie, totally cheating in a game of thumb-war. https://t.co/N8hOQzj1Kr

@chervaski Indeed. Massive gatherings can be super encouraging on occasion but the medium should be a genuine community. Well said Nic. ✊

great question. Im a staff pastor and have also felt I may need to “brace myself” for “church”. Willard once said “your feelings are great servants but terrible masters.” Could be many things—what is behind the feeling ‘I need to psych myself up for this?’ Why do I feel that way?

Christian churches are not as a rule, model communities of good behavior.

They are, rather, [to be] places where human misbehavior is brought out in the open, faced, and dealt with.

Pride is plagiarism. It looks at something and says 'I accomplished this' when it is really a gift of God. (1 Cor 4:7)

It’s okay to say, “I don’t know.”
In fact, it can be a virtue.

“A biblical Christian is not just someone who holds certain beliefs about the Bible. He or she is also someone who leads the kind of life demonstrated in the Bible: a life of personal, intelligent interaction with God.” -Dallas Willard

In the beginning, God created the world new. In Exodus, he made a new people, born out of slavery into the law of life. In the Prophets, God moved the hearts of kings to make his people new again. In Jesus, he invites you to see, yes; he is still making all things new.
