God has made us whole people, mind and heart and body, and all of it matters, and we’re to bring it all to Him. And the Psalms teach us how to do that faithfully and well. —@DavidTAStrain https://t.co/1WSayOaAhE

In the culture we live in, especially with social media, people use their platforms to express their outrage about everything. Social media can foster feelings of inadequacy and resentment, whether the desire is for popularity, wealth, or other forms of success. Relationships are destroyed because of anger, bitterness, and jealousy.

Forgiveness in the Age of Rage — John MacArthur // August 27, 2017

There is so much hostility in the human heart that it literally is erupting; and if it’s not controlled, it will totally destroy the world. It is a conflagration like no other. Hatred, anger, resentment has erupted over the edges of the human volcano in our day, even today and in our culture, with a deadly kind of violence that is threatening to bury the land in an avalanche of vengeance and violence. We’re starting to see violence as just a way of life. It is not just religious hatred, such as we see in the extremes of Islam, it is just the hatred of the human heart that seems to be constantly reaching its erupting point and spilling out its vicious lava to consume all who are in its flow.

The world is characterized by anger. I don’t think in my lifetime I’ve ever seen so many people angry about so many things. And it all has been justified by psychology for many, many years: you have a right to be angry, your anger is justified, you were mistreated, everybody was abused, everybody is a victim. You need to be angry; anger is how you deal with the way you were mistreated. Anger has been fueled in this society for years by psychology. It’s further fueled by narcissistic self-centeredism, where everybody thinks they’re the most important person in the world; and anybody who offends them is worthy of the severest kind of repercussions, perhaps, even violence.

In James chapter 4, we get a little insight into this. “What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? Is not the source your pleasures that wage war in your members? You lust, you do not have; so you commit murder. You are envious, you cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures. Your satisfaction, your desires, your possessions, your pleasures consume you; and as a result of that, you do damage to the people around you to get what you want.”

This is not surprising. Ecclesiastes 7:9, the wisdom says this, the wisdom of Solomon: “Anger resides in the heart of fools.” It lives in the heart of fools; and all those without God are fools. Anger is a universal human emotion and driving motivation.

If any one corrupt attitude defines our culture, it is anger. There’s anger in our music, there is anger in our films, there is anger in our television programs, there is anger in our schools, there is anger in our universities, there is anger in our families, there is anger everywhere in this society; and the absent virtue in all of this is forgiveness. The absence of forgiveness destroys relationships. It is, in the end, the destroyer of relationships. It’s impossible to live in the world and not offend someone; and that then demands forgiveness.

"Get a hymnbook and go park your car where no one can hear you and sing your way out of this."

At D&T DFW @AlistairBegg reminded us that great hymns weren't written to describe how we feel. They were written to remind us of what is true - to preach the gospel back to our soul.

Growth in the Christian life comes when we place ourselves under the ordinary means of grace, receive them joyfully, meditate on them, and faithfully and prayerfully put into practice what we learn. —William Barcley https://t.co/Cq5nDcig4O

This won't trend coz these kids are not displaying immoralities while signing out. But rather, chose to sign out by having a sweet fellowship with Jesus!...

I can't wait to see them do exploits for Jesus in their diverse institutions.

We'll raise children that will burn for JESUS! ✝️

My husband reads his Bible before work and always leaves it open to what he read on the coffee table so I can read it when I get up hours later 🥹🩵 I love this

Fear Him, you saints, and you will then have nothing else to fear.

He whose soul does not worship will never live in holiness. —C.H. Spurgeon

[Ligonier Ministries @Ligonier]

The book of Daniel reminds us that even the most powerful rulers on earth are subject to God’s authority.

In this message from his teaching series Dust to Glory, @RCSproul reminds Christians that their future lies in the hands of their ever-faithful God.

Our personal holiness sets us apart as strangers and aliens. We began to suffer as strangers and aliens because we’re strangers and aliens, and in the midst of it, he says honor Christ the Lord as holy, keep your eyes on him. Don’t look at the Syrian army. Keep your eyes on him. Don’t fear the Syrian army. Keep your eyes on him. Do not compromise in the face of the Syrian army. Keep your eyes on him. And then he says, oh, by the way, there’s going to be an explanation required, and your tendency will be implied here. Your tendency will be to explain your personal holiness in the least offensive manner possible so that you can reduce the likelihood of more suffering. — Voddie Baucham

They LIED to you about pride and the LGBTQ movement. While it’s primarily seen as an issue regarding sexuality, that’s actually not the fundamental issue according to Scripture.

[Adam | Faithful Messenger @Adam_FaithfulM]

God gave Moses 50 chapters of instructions for a tent.

Fifty.

More space in the Bible is devoted to the design of the Tabernacle than to the creation of the universe.

That's not an accident.

Every measurement, material, and color was pointing to something, and once you see it, you can't unsee it.

A thread. 🧵

[Protestia @Protestia]

Baptist pastor Matthew Olson of FBC Sharon just preached through the entire bible for 96 hours straight, setting an unofficial world record for longest marathon speech.

Watch till the end to see his final words.

2. Develop a sense of wonder.

As you explore the Bible together, emphasize that it is not like any other book. Using age-appropriate words, explain how God’s Word is infallible, sufficient, and eternal.

[Creeds & Confessions @CreedConfession]

Keeping that in mind, now consider the one who made the sun and all that we see and yet to see, simply by speaking.

Colossians 1:16 For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him.

Hebrews 11:3
By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Christ did not love you for your good works. They were not the cause of His beginning to love you. So, He does not
love you for your good works even now. They are not the cause of His continuing to love you. He loves you because He loves you.
