Who is (one of) THE MOST essential people on Twitter for you? The person that helps make you sane? Tag and boost!

Just trying to give appreciation for folks who spend a lot of energy on our behalf.

[Risen Church @risenchurchtx]

In a distraction-filled world, it is all too easy to find ways to avoid our sorrow rather than to let it shape and form us like God intends.

[J. A. Medders @drmedders]

If God himself has declared you righteous, who the heck cares what anyone else thinks!?

Don't be the dude out there who wants to do "big things" for God but won't unload the dishwasher. You wanna change the world? Change some diapers.

At $300 this commentary better have conclusive evidence to the question as to who wrote Hebrews.

[Matt Hodges @mahodges]

Amazing.

And why the church has a real shot at being a glimpse of heaven on earth when it embodies real, gospel-fueled love and connection.

Saying ‘I’m too tired or down to go to church’ is like saying ‘My car is too low on fuel to stop for gas.’

I'm listening to this an Audible and keep thinking that every pastor should probably go through this at some point in their ministry.

What a word! 💯

Don’t listen to this nonsense.
Seriously.

I don’t think it’s wise to imply that a woman needs to be “masculine” in order to be strong and clear in her communication.
