The moment everything changed.
“Father, into Your hands I commit my spirit.”
The cross wasn't the end… it was the beginning of everything.
Grateful beyond words this Good Friday. 🙏
This is testimony from Dr. Neil Frank at a Billy Graham event in the 1980s.
He's actually Forrest Frank's grandfather. He plays this before every one of his shows.
I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. This is EXACTLY what happened to me. Lift the veil 👇
This is to you Jesus followers who are also in ministry from your big sister who has seen a lot, read a lot, heard a lot and experienced a lot. I don’t believe people surrender to a calling with impure motives. They may not know what they’re getting themselves into but it’s not the kind of thing most people imagine at that point making them rich or powerful and able to manipulate and exploit and perform.
But Satan uses every possible scheme to lead us “astray from [our] sincere and pure devotion to Christ.” (2 Cor 11:3) I can’t say this strongly enough. Be relentless in your protection of your own relationship with Jesus. Let no one—and I do mean no one—get between you and Jesus. This is not only for your benefit. It is for theirs.
Do not let your own time of prayer and Bible reading turn into preparation for messages. If you do not have regular times of prayer and Bible reading, Saint, you are already cooperating with the enemy’s scheme to lead you astray. Return to the spiritual disciplines. Nothing replaces them and you are not the exception.
Do not let what you are pouring out exceed what you have invited Jesus to pour in. In the powerful words of the apostle Paul, “having begun in the Spirit, will we now finish in the flesh??”
Do not hand over your prayer life to intercessors. Let your thorn in the flesh which you no doubt have and I certainly have continue to pop the balloon of an inflated ego. That’s what it’s for. Serve with humility.
One word. Jesus.
Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus.
This ONE is all that will matter at the end of the day. At the end of our lives. Every single one of us has the capacity to lose our way and exploit the work and the gifts God has given us to make a show of our flesh.
We are quick to talk about people who fall into scandalous sins but there is something much more sinister that can go on for years and everyone see it in us…but us. There is simply falling away from sincere devotion and somewhere along the way replacing our first love.
We can do this, Saints. But we will not do it by accident.
We are giving away 2,000 study Bibles through @crossway! Yesterday we gave away 500 in 45 minutes. People are so hungry for truth! Here’s 2,000 more!
If you don’t have a Bible, follow this link and you’ll get one. Start in John 1 and learn about this Jesus we can’t stop talking about. https://t.co/UveZqnem85

Every man. Every woman. Every child. We all need Jesus.
It doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor, unknown or famous — you need Jesus.
Followers can’t save you. Fame can’t save you. Only Jesus can.
Whether you have five followers or fifty million, one thing’s true — Everybody needs Jesus.
Have you ever prayed for something, but it took a long time for God to answer it? Then again, have you ever prayed for something, and the answer came so quickly that it almost scared you? You didn’t believe that your prayer could be answered that quickly. That is why we need to pray about things.
As Christian parents, our calling is clear: bring our children to Jesus. Just like the parents in the Bible who brought their little ones to Him, we have the privilege of guiding our kids toward a relationship with Christ.
Don’t leave it up to the public school system or the culture to define right and wrong for your children. That’s our job—and it’s both a responsibility and a tremendous honor. Let’s lead by example and point them to the Savior who loves them deeply.
@cloliver25 Collin, I’m @Andrew_McCall5 mom. And I want you to know we will miss you out there, and we are praying for you! God is faithful and He is always there with you! Keep trusting in Him.
