@Rick_White Sorry to see you go, brother, but definitely want to stay in touch. You’re a spiritual father to me and many other good men, and I am grateful for your investment - in me personally, and in the churches I’ve helped lead.

On this day in the year 73, the Jewish mountaintop fortress of Masada falls to the Roman army after a lengthy siege. More than 900 of the defenders take their own lives rather than surrender to the emperor's legion.

The steeple used to be the highest point in a city…pointing to where you go for hope, for grace, for truth - may this space stir our hearts and minds to something higher, eternal, sacred. @ParadoxFtWorth

Reading about the Hillsong saga and I just don't believe that we are built for those kinds of massive platforms. I don't think our humanity is built to bear it and that a collapse is almost inevitable. Pastor, be local, be present, and be known.

Long 🧵 alert.

With all of the chatter about women, the church, and ministry in the Twittersphere over the last few days (and years), I wanted to share a few thoughts.

First, cards on the table: I'm a complementarian in that I believe God designed men & women...

Sabbath is not just rest from making things.

It’s rest from the need to make something of ourselves.

The most powerful paradoxes of life:

[Nathan Johnson @johnsonjn]

@abercecpastor Previous church (Redeemer Church, Springfield MO): “Disciples of Jesus, in life together, making disciples.”

Current Church (The Paradox Church, Ft Worth TX): “We exist to saturate Fort Worth with the glory and grace of Jesus.”

[For The Church @forthechurch]

What are the legitimate reasons for leaving a church? When is the right time to leave a church? How should one leave a church to join another?

Dear church members far and wide,

Let me offer a gentle suggestion for your consideration, on behalf of your pastor/s:

Withhold that piece of advice for how he should do things differently until you have first given him 10 encouragements. Then maintain that ratio going forward.

[Tom Schreiner @DrTomSchreiner]

I am working on a major commentary on Revelation in the Baker series. When I am out speaking and now via email I am being asked more and more whether the vaccine is the mark of the beast. My answer: absolutely not! There is no exegetical or theological basis for such a view.

[Ronnie Martin @ronniejmartin]

Any version of reformed theology that:

- is void of grace
- aims to control & degrade women
- leads w/ a spirit of anger & arrogance
- isolates against accountability
- revels in controversy
- views gentleness as weakness

needs to be reformed.

@loganpyle I’m sure they’ll pour out a Baja Blast for you from time to time, homie.

@jt_english We’re in the planning stages now, looking to launch early next year. Your book was foundational for where we’re headed. Learning a lot about multiplying leaders. Praying hard. Excited for what the Lord will do in and through his people as they grow.
