On the anniversary of Retractions, had a great time doing three podcasts over the book with Thom Rainer, Founder & CEO of Church Answers.

Merry Christmas Eve! For many years Marilyn and I have had the joy on this day, reading over the Christmas Story and praying over the children at Saylorville Church. We’ll do so again today at 1:30, 3:00, 4:30 and 6:00 PM. 

Hope you can join us! @Saylorville

On receiving criticism.

“Let a righteous man strike me—that is a kindness; let him rebuke me—that is oil on my head. My head will not refuse it...” (Psalms 141:5)

Some of our greatest guideposts will disguise themselves as insults.

Another reason I need Jesus:

“…the accuser of our brothers and sisters—(Satan)—accuses them before our God DAY AND NIGHT….” (Rev 12:10)

While Jesus “always lives to make intercession FOR us”, (Heb 7:25) Satan always lives to bring accusation AGAINST us.”

Stunned. Humbled. Grateful. Thank you @challies for this very kind endorsement.

“Christ … loved ME and gave Himself for ME.” (Gal 2:20)

Humility never generalizes God‘s promises. It personalizes them.

The Apostle Paul’s descending assessment of himself:

⬇️ 1 Corinthians 15:9 ~ The least of the apostles

⬇️ Ephesians 3:8 ~ The very least of all the saints

⬇️ 1 Timothy 1:15 ~ The worst sinner of them all

Fear

“Despite their fear of the peoples around them, they built the altar…” (Ezra 3:3)

Sometimes we have to work THROUGH our fears and in spite of them.

Humbled to be part of today’s preaching team (with @patnemmers and @KenRudolphMin) for Feed the Fire youth conference at @f1rstfamily. Fantastic showing of high schoolers from area churches! Praying the next William Carey or Lottie Moon is in this crowd! Good work Jake Walton!

Follow Jesus

In trial have two choices (cries) as I call out to God:

“Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘FATHER, SAVE ME FROM THIS hour’? But for this purpose I have come to this hour. FATHER, GLORIFY YOUR NAME.”
(John 12:27-28a)

To God be the glory.

[John Piper @JohnPiper]

“Rose early to seek God, and found him whom my soul loveth. Who would not rise early to meet such company?”

“Never see the face of man till you have seen his face who is our life, our all.”

“I cannot begin my work, for I have not seen the face of God.”

—Robert Murray McCheyne

“Many Christians are looking to God for future salvation but to the world for present satisfaction .” - John Nemmers

Augustine on certain polemicists in his day:

"They are in love with their own opinions, not because they are true, but because they are their own."

We must bear this in mind in our polemics today. It's so subtle the way our views and our selves get entangled.
