@top100golf I had the opportunity to play this course in the fall of 24. Wonderful golf course. What a great golf experience!

I’m a huge fan of age specific ministries. I’ve dedicated much of my life to student ministries and college ministries. To youth leaders and collegiate leaders. And, will continue to do it.

However, when a student ministry or college ministry is ran like a “church within a church”, it is setting a young person up for future failure.

When a student graduates out of one of those ministries, it feels like they’re having to go join a whole new church that they know very little about. It may meet at the same building, but they still feel like strangers.

That’s why many leave.

Student and college ministries are at their best when they see themselves as a part of the whole life of the church. They shouldn’t only and always be separate from the rest of the church, but they are also intentionally serving, living, and worshipping with the whole church as well.

It’s one church with multiple generations living on the same mission.

Israelis are waking up to news that @GovMikeHuckabee — the most famous and influential pro-Israel Evangelical leader in the United States — has just been appointed by @realDonaldTrump to be the U.S. ambassador to Israel. Historic for two reasons. Let me explain. @all_israel_news

4 things Christians should be doing today after the election…

1) Give thanks. Our nation was given an undeserved mercy last night, and it is a window for repentance (more on that later). No Christian anywhere should’ve supported the policy platform that was (mercifully) defeated last night, and saying that should never have been controversial. In fact, it should prompt *deep* reflection about what happened to the US church in the last ~20 years that made it controversial for a pastor to say that.

It is not wrong to celebrate and give thanks today for being spared from something our rebellious nation deserved. If you have kids, they need to see you celebrate because it trains their hearts!

“When wicked things perish, there are shouts of joy” — Prov 11:10

2) Pray. Not only because we are commanded to pray for our governing leaders (1 Tim 2:1), but because of the situation. We elected Jehu (a flawed leader who defeated a greater evil) not Josiah (a righteous leader who led national revival), and that comes with risks. The command to “trust not in princes” (Psalm 146:3) means there is Someone 10 trillion times greater than a President and something 10 billion times greater than an election that we should ache and hunger for — an outpouring of the Spirit in our generation.

3) Be the adult in the room. Politicians last four years; friends and family last lifetimes. Do not lose a lifelong relationship over a short-term leader. Obviously without compromising your convictions, be a unifier (Eph 4:3) and peacemaker (Matt 5:9) today.

4) Hurl yourself into the purposes of God in our generation. Absent a spiritual awakening in our country, it will not matter in the long run if there are politicians who will propose godly laws, bc there won’t be enough godly people to vote for them. More importantly, Judeo-Christian values can keep a nation out of chaos, but they cannot keep a person out of hell. Only the blood of Jesus Christ can do that.

The main thing is still the main thing: making disciples of all nations. Reformation and revival for a resurgence of the purposes of God in our generation. It feels like we’re on the verge; The tall grass is rustling everywhere, and we’re waiting to see where the Lion of Judah will pounce.

[Grant R. Castleberry @grcastleberry]

Our country is divided between two polar opposite worldviews: the secular, atheistic worldview and the Judeo-Christian worldview. These worldviews are antithetical to one another.

The secular worldview celebrates sexual expression, teaches that morals are relative, and that the state is ultimate.

The Judeo-Christian worldview celebrates the nuclear family, teaches that morals are absolute, and that God is ultimate.

The political division in our country is largely reflective of the clash between these two worldviews.

@GovMikeHuckabee Fine by me. I don’t listen to his foul mouth broadcast in the first place—never have never will!

[Erik Reed @ErikReed]

All the evangelical leaders who would go into cardiac arrest if Trump did this won’t say a word about Kamala’s church visit.

We won’t hear tirades about a “compromised church” or “Christian nationalism.” Just crickets.

[Shane Pruitt @shane_pruitt78]

Typically, the drift away from Biblical orthodoxy has the same path:

> Question the inerrancy of Scripture.
> Challenge the authority of Scripture.
> Begin to backtrack on sexual sin.
> Ascribe to Universalism.
> Completely leave the faith.

Too many leaders & denominations have taken this exact path.

Don't trust leaders that don't trust the Bible, because they're always heading somewhere.

@PeterSweden7 Absolutely!!!

@libsoftiktok We have a moral epidemic in this country!!!

There are many things I have learned while pastoring a local church but here are my top five… 👇🏼👇🏼

• Our greatest enemy is our own flesh.
Stay vigilant.

• Christ will build His church. Stay humble.

• Critics will come and critics will go.
Stay faithful.

• People will be with you in seasons of life and ministry. Stay kind.

• Waiting on God is better than the alternative.
Stay patient.

Pastoring a church is like going back to school.. but you never feel that you will graduate. Always learning. Always growing.

If you want to find out your church’s idols, change something.

Not everyone who disagrees with you…

- is a bigot.
- hates you.
- has a phobia.
- is toxic.
- is dangerous.

Sometimes, people are willing to kindly share truth with you and disagree with you, because they actually love you enough to do so.

Dr. @AdrianRogers on the ministry of the Holy Spirit in #preaching: "I can preach truth—but only the Holy Spirit can impart truth."

[Stephen Cox @StephenCox_SC]

Truth.

Five Suggestions For Leading Your Church Through Change:

1. Don’t get so far ahead of the church that they can’t see you. (You have to bring them along.)
2. Information is appreciation. (Give them all the information possible if you want their trust.)
3. You have two ears and one mouth for a reason - listen to your leaders. (There is wisdom in a multitude of counselors.)
4. People grasp ideas differently. Make sure to communicate in as many of those languages as possible. (Some need numbers. Some want the story. Some are visual. Some are verbal. Some are relational. Use all of these ways of communication and more.)
5. Time is not your enemy; it’s your friend. (It often takes longer than you want to get the people on board. You can either invest the time on the front end or pay it on the back side.)

Going to church doesn't make you a Christian, but being a Christian should make you want to go to church.
