Jesus paid it all.

All to Him I owe.

The average person reads over 265 social media posts, emails, and text messages on their phones or tablets every single day.

Proof-positive that we really do have time to read our Bibles and pray every single day.

We just choose to use our time on lesser important things.

The Holy Spirit will never lead you to do something that contradicts the Holy Bible.

The chances of becoming a pro-athlete: .02%. The chances of standing before a holy God: 100%.

Sports can be good for your kids, but they can’t be God for your kids. Help them keep their priorities in order.

[Shane Pruitt @shane_pruitt78]

God is still good,
even when you don’t understand.
God is still faithful,
even when it doesn’t make sense.
God still has a plan,
even when you can’t see it.
God is still in control,
even when it looks like chaos.
God is still near,
even when you can’t feel Him.

God is still God.

[Shane Pruitt @shane_pruitt78]

Jesus Christ is alive.

Because He lives, hope lives.
Because He lives, joy lives.
Because He lives, peace lives.
Because He lives, forgiveness lives.
Because He lives, purpose lives.
Because He lives, freedom lives.
Because He lives, love lives.
Because He lives, we can live.

Young people don't need leaders who are adults, but act like teens or college students. They need leaders who act like adults, but care about teenagers and college students.

If your version of Christianity is always comfortable, convenient, and mainly about you. It’s not the Christianity of the New Testament.

[Shane Pruitt @shane_pruitt78]

Philippians 4:13 has nothing to do with dunking a basketball, hitting a homerun, or working out.

It has everything to do with being content in any and every circumstance (highs and lows), because of the strength of Christ inside of you.

Context is a beautiful thing. 📖

[Christian Quotes @ReformedPastors]

We need to hear the Gospel every day, because we forget it every day.

Martin Luther

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

Grace is what causes you to abandon your hope in your own righteousness and put your trust in the substitutionary righteousness of another.

[Shane Pruitt @shane_pruitt78]

There is a .03% chance that our kids will become a professional athlete one day, but there is a 100% chance they will stand before God one day.

Helping them with their shooting percentage, yards per carry, & batting averages is good. However, investing in their soul is better!

[Charles Spurgeon @_CSpurgeon_]

There is no form of sinfulness to which you are addicted which Christ cannot remove.

[Shane Pruitt @shane_pruitt78]

Things you’ll never regret:
- talking to God
- reading the Scriptures
- sharing the Gospel

It’s incredibly important to take our children to Church on Sundays.

And, it’s even more important that our kids see us live out on Monday through Saturday - what we said we believed on Sunday.

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

Corporate worship is designed to open our eyes, rescuing us from our spiritual blindness, so we see ourselves as we truly are and see God for who he truly is and run to him for the grace we so deeply need.

[Shane Pruitt @shane_pruitt78]

depression & anxiety rates w/ youth have soared in recent yrs.

and, in recent yrs there’s been an agenda of alternative sexuality & gender views aimed at kids.

the correlation of the two is no coincidence.

confuse people about their identity & you’ll confuse them about life.

We need to hear the Gospel every day, because we forget it every day.
