For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

[C. S. Lewis @CSLewisDaily]

"Fallen man is not simply an imperfect creature who needs improvement: he is a rebel who must lay down his arms…surrendering. This process of surrender—this movement full speed astern—is what Christians call repentance."

Believer, whilst it’s true to believe that God is so powerful, almighty and powerful, it’s absolutely crucial to believe that He cares for you and loves you. No use entrusting your life to God if you don’t believe he cares for you.

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

If we are merely the product of evolution on what basis can we object to powerful people oppressing marginalized ones? Strong>the weak

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

In the church we have to deliberately let ourselves be transparent and accountable to others. We're a family.

@itswestan Lol is that a yes?

“We can ignore even pleasure. But pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.”

If you lead worship in song, your people's greatest need is not to remember what they think and feel about God., but to remember what God thinks and feels about them, and most importantly what he’s done for them in Jesus Christ.

[C. S. Lewis @CSLewisDaily]

“The great thing, if one can, is to stop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions of one’s ‘own’, or ‘real’ life. The truth is of course that what one calls the interruptions are precisely one’s real life – the life God is sending one day by day.”

The gospel (the good news of what Jesus has done) will always cause offense because it shows us having a need we cannot meet.

"How utterly terrible is the current idea that Christians can serve God at their own convenience." AW Tozer #tozer

“Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man. We say that people are proud of being rich, or clever, or good-looking, but they are not. They are proud of being richer, or cleverer, or better looking than others.”

Thinking how much we would collectively thrive, if we were authentic, transparent, honest, stern and patient with one another. #idealcommunities

The number one lie Satan tells us is that we can prove ourselves.

[C. S. Lewis @CSLewisDaily]

“God won’t alter people’s character by force. He can and will alter them—but only if the people will let Him…He would rather have a world of free beings, with all its risks, than a world of people who did right like machines because they couldn’t do anything else.“
