God does not come in extraordinary events, but works amid the apparent monotony of our daily life, in the frequently dull rhythm of our activities, in the little things that, working with tenacity and humility, we achieve in our efforts to do his will.

@mikemchargue Do you believe it’s a skill/ ability/ processing that can be improved with frequent/ regular practice?

I’ve scored so consistently low on @aimlab that I’ve almost stopped gaming altogether 🤦🏼‍♂️

@danwhitejr Kindness just gets overshadowed. It’s still there. ❤️

[Coach BJ Thompson @bj116]

Maturity is when you can disagree with someone, without discrediting them.

@jbyas Is this evangelicalism as a whole or a segment of the whole?

The all or nothing mentality grows fear and anxiety in some and comfort and assurance (certainty?) in others. How can we ensure those struggling with the nothingness know there are other options available?

[Nick Scott @nrscott]

This entire thread is worth reading, especially if it’s followed up with some self-contemplation and examination.

@mikemchargue I feel this tweet.

[Rich Villodas @richvillodas]

Every week on Twitter a pastor or professor announces that women shouldn’t preach or pastor.

I for one am grateful for the women pastors, preachers, professors and theologians that have helped me know scripture better and love Jesus deeper.

Be encouraged, sisters! Press on!

How we believe is just as important as what we believe.

And in many ways, how we believe reveals what we believe.

I try to explain it to my friends like this “imagine if every week you had to give a presentation and your whole company got to decide whether they like you and the company every week based on that... and that’s just part of your job”

[Sharon Hodde Miller @SHoddeMiller]

I often wonder about the feasibility of pastors maintaining spiritual/emotional health while submerged in a church culture that commodifies the pastorate (treating it as “goods & services,” staying or leaving based on what they deliver, & literally rating them on Yelp).

[It's A G Thing @WilGafney]

Real talk. Jesus did not condemn slavery and he did not free anyone from slavery and it can be argued that he sent someone back to slavery by raising them from the dead and returning them to their master. Doesn’t justify this but we need to be honest about slavery in the Bible.

[Carlos A. Rodríguez @CarlosHappyNPO]

Stop pretending “not choosing a side” is somehow a virtue.

It’s privilege.

[Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis @RevJacquiLewis]

We have to stop prioritizing people’s “right” to own guns over people’s right to not get shot.

[Rich Villodas @richvillodas]

The more I preach (and pastor), the more I realize that no matter what I’m preaching on, I must offer a word of comfort and hope to the people listening.

People are experiencing too much fear and pain to go a week without hearing a concrete word of hope from God.

[Jeremy Lin @JLin7]

Dear Pastors and Church Leaders,
Please acknowledge and make space for the pain and fear of your Asian-American congregation this weekend. You don’t have to have solutions to sit with people in their pain 💛

[Nick Scott @nrscott]

God has not and will not give up on you because God loves you more than you could ever possibly love yourself.

And that love isn’t contingent on you doing or saying the right thing or even stopping that thing you should’ve stopped doing. God loves you because GOD IS LOVE. ⛪️❤️

“These proverbs can even add to the knowledge of the wise and give guidance to the educated,” (Proverbs 1:5 GNT).

This really resonated with my spirit. The Bible has a little something for EVERYONE, regardless of your age, gender, education or experience.
