4yo, bounding in: You said my walkie-talkie was broken but Daddy found out it just needed batteries!
Me:
My husband:

My husband:
Me:
My husband: It wasn't broken, was it.

We don’t draw boundaries to punish, manipulate or control the other person. Boundaries should help us communicate what is and is not acceptable.

It’s not about leaving people. It’s about loving people without losing the best of who we are.

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

Christian leaders in your 30s-50s, you’re the ones who’ll raise the next couple of generations of faith. It is crucial—needful—that you disciple them from the start on the values of Jesus. Not political or cultural hybrids. The ways & means of Jesus. Teach people to follow Jesus.

[Zach W. Lambert @ZachWLambert]

Your Christian preferences no longer being privileged doesn’t mean you’re being persecuted.

[Sheila Gregoire--She Deserves Better is here! @sheilagregoire]

Repeat it with me:

Accountability is not persecution.

[Lysa TerKeurst @LysaTerKeurst]

Healing can’t be rushed. It takes both time and honesty.
We need to feel what we feel.
We need to think through what we need to think through.
We need to get it all out and sort it all out.

Preacher friends, if y’all don’t condemn racism from the pulpit tomorrow don’t bother saying anything about Jesus either. Or grace or justice or salvation or Thy kingdom come…

Twitter: God doesn’t like inappropriate jokes

God: To the eunuchs who keep my sabbaths, who choose the things that please me and hold fast my covenant, I will give in my house and within my walls a monument and a name… which shall not be…

(wait for it)

cut off.

Austin: *asks for the 3rd time today* “Can I have $200 from our next check?”
Me: “no”
Austin: *shrugs* “ok. I’ll ask again tomorrow.”

God is ever and always, with no shadow or turning. He is truth. He is light. Light exposes the truth. It exposes beauty and horror. Clean and filthy. And truth always calls what is exposed by its right name.

[Diane Langberg, PhD @DianeLangberg]

When we do not understand an abuser's capacity for deceit, we make it is easy for the offender to continue in deception and sadly, often call it “grace”.  If it lacks truth, then it is not grace.

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

Something seems particularly poignant this Christmas about offering worship to God with vulnerable bodies & breakable hearts in response to the Word made flesh—vulnerable & breakable—to dwell among us. Christmas may not always seem Merry but it is always Merciful. He loves us so.

See a visitor or someone you don’t know at church?

Go greet them, introduce yourself to them.

For visitors, church can be insanely lonely. Surrounded by people yet not knowing a single person.

Greeting people is ministry.

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

A wise mentor once said to me, “Beth, there are some people you don’t want to like you.”

[Mallory @malloryfoley13]

Austin and I were playing a video game today, and I got SO mad because he kept dying that he literally got up and started cleaning the house 🥴

Some people are good church members but bad family members.
