Love revealing God, reaching people and restoring lives

[Rich Villodas @richvillodas]

Jesus says, “let your yes be yes and no be no. Anything beyond this comes from the evil one.” It’s drastic language, but Jesus is fully aware of what lying & lack of integrity of speech does to us.

My preference is not to be like but to be understood

No matter how you vote, you are welcome in our church. I just ask that you would commit to see politics thru Jesus & not Jesus thru your politics; that you would be curious about why your brothers & sisters see things differently. And that you would live humble, prayerful lives.

Fools are quick to express their anger, but wise people are patient and control themselves.

Church attendance does not equal engagement, but engagement almost always involves church attendance. https://t.co/rhzpUMuh85 via @cnieuwhof

Who would have thought one of the most dangerous jobs in America today would be a elementary school educator.

Questions for an evening Examen:

1. Did I see anyone thru the eyes of Christ’s love today?

2. Did I bring my anxious thoughts before God in prayer?

3. Was I present to God’s presence in silence?

4. Is there any sin I must acknowledge and request God’s forgiveness?

The gifts of the Spirit are not meant to give us a short cut to maturity.

One of the dangers in the Church is we expect the gifts of the Spirit to quickly do what only the fruit of the Spirit is meant to do slowly.

Your faith is a journey, not a destination.

@richvillodas @rosievillodas Congratulations

Being offended is inevitable.

Living offended is a choice.

If you are on a continuous search to be offended, you will always find what you're looking for.

Your life is too short and your calling too great to be offended by something small!

God uses pain to get our attention

A strong presence of God brings conviction of sin!

God is not focused on the clock as we usually are

[Rich Villodas @richvillodas]

American notions of freedom are usually at odds with Christian freedom.

American freedom says, “my freedom is mine to enjoy.”

Christian freedom says “my freedom is for the purpose of serving my neighbor.” (Gal 5:13)

Before you can be ready for what God is building, you’ve got to make room for Him. What attitudes, thoughts, or habits are taking up space in your life?

“One of the coolest things about God is that even a “NO” from Him has goodness written all over it.”

@lecrae It’s ok to grieve and feel disappointed. Always eyes on Christ but it still hurts.

[mitchell torres @mitshat]

If God was ever wrong about anything He wouldn't be God.
