There are more important things to do than hurry.

Wow, yes.

[Bob Sorge @BobSorge]

Jesus never prayed for a single sick person. He talked to sicknesses and demons, or touched people. Talked and touched.

If the kind of transformation I'm imagining for my neighborhood or nation can be accomplished by a Government, my idea of transformation falls short of the kind Christ has in mind.

[Mike Bidell @michaelbidell]

It seems God is interested in entrusting more to those who are most satisfied in Him.

[Mike Bidell @michaelbidell]

If you're "going to church" today I hope you don't have great time :) Make someone else's time great!

It seems that Jesus believes that those with the greatest true wealth on Earth are those who know their need for God. • Rev 1.9 Matt 5.3

Acts 26.8 + 1 Peter 3.15

If the resurrection is real, why should we -of all people on earth- not have 'unreasonable' hope in all circumstances!

[Mike Bidell @michaelbidell]

I love how the resurrection confronts all of our thinking!

[Mike Bidell @michaelbidell]

Jesus' times alone were not selfish; I imagine He was being attentive and responsive to the Father's desires for time with his son.

[Mike Bidell @michaelbidell]

• "Love is not self-seeking"

• Do we have any evidence of Jesus acting selfishly?

• God has never done anything with self-interest

Jesus wasn’t effective in His ministry because He was God; He was effective in His ministry because He was human!

[Mike Bidell @michaelbidell]

Jesus was 100% divine + 100% human. Interesting that he spent more time emphasizing his humanness (“Son of Man” statements). Making a point?

[Mike Bidell @michaelbidell]

He said things like: “by myself I can do nothing” Jn 5.30 & that He would only do & say what He sees & hears from the Father (Jn 5.19,12.50)

[Mike Bidell @michaelbidell]

Jesus modeled for us what it looks like for a human to live and minister in dependence upon the Father and in the power of the Spirit!

[Mike Bidell @michaelbidell]

Yes! https://t.co/D38yOIKLvR

The Dove settling on Jesus at His baptism demonstrated that the Holy Spirit loves to rest upon the word. Therefore, live in the word.

[C. S. Lewis @CSLewisDaily]

Picture hell as a state where everyone is perpetually concerned about his own dignity & advancement, where everyone has a grievance

I love Psalm 18.35-36, not for what it means for me but for what it reveals about Him!

[Ian Green @Ian_Green]

The problem is we have made the Church the destination rather than the vehicle. @martinsteelnz
