Moses made 5 critical choices in the midst of great leadership pressure at the Red Sea. Which choice(s) do you make or need to make in the coming year?

[Lesslie Newbigin @LesslieNewbigin]

The choice for the church in every age will always be, Will our identity be shaped by Scripture or by our culture—by the biblical story or the cultural story?

[Lesslie Newbigin @LesslieNewbigin]

It is less important to ask a Christian what he or she believes about the Bible than it is to inquire what he or she does with it.

Without the biblical language of powers and principalities—as they manifest in ideologies and and institutions—Christians often fail to see that we can
have our soul saved by Jesus, but still be captive to a system shaped by Satan.

@tastebudspod If Sal or DeRosa mentions anything about the medicinal values of Dr. Pepper as a positive, they're crazy, and they should have to drink it for a week as they're only liquid to see how healthy it is.

The deepest motive for mission is simply the desire to be with Jesus where he is, on the frontier between the reign of God and the usurped dominion of the devil.

The initial evidence of receiving the Spirit is not speaking in tongues; it’s embracing the gospel of forgiveness.

[Lesslie Newbigin @LesslieNewbigin]

We are not engaged in an enterprise of our own choosing or devising. We are invited to participate in an activity of God which is the central meaning of creation itself.

Mission in Christ’s way will not be a success story as the world reckons success.

"43% of Evangelical women report being taught that they are obligated to give their husbands sex whenever they want it. These women also experience levels of painful sex comparable to women who have experienced sexual abuse." - Mind-blowing data from @sheilagregoire and her team.

Experiment! If ya'll can get this to 200x RTs I will discount my book, You Are Enough: Learning to Love Yourself the Way God Loves You, to 99c on Kindle.

ICYMI, the book is a 30-day trauma-informed, body-positive, Scripture-filled, meditation-driven, Jesus-centric devotional.

I do not believe loyalty to the leader(s) should be a core value of any ministry or church. Honesty, integrity, transparency, equity, financial accountability are among solid core values. But the Christian’s loyalty is to CHRIST. The leaders themselves need to echo that often.

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

I recommend laughing more and hating people less.
