The way up is down.

[Matt Smethurst @MattSmethurst]

“I am the least . . .”

AD 55: “of all the apostles” (1 Cor. 15:9)

AD 60: “of all the saints” (Eph. 3:8)

AD 62: “of all sinners” (1 Tim. 1:15)

Christian maturity is downward. It is growing not less aware of your unworthiness, but more.

[Matt Smethurst @MattSmethurst]

Beautiful prayer by Anselm of Canterbury (1033–1109).

[Matt Smethurst @MattSmethurst]

Contemporary people examine the Bible, looking for things they can’t accept.

Christians allow the Bible to examine them, looking for things God can’t accept.

Preaching with integrity is not about living something perfectly, but wrestling with something faithfully.

The amount of time I spend trimming my beard and shaving my face just to go wear a mask the entire I'm out is dumb.

I am dumb.

Humility comes before honor.

This is so good. People are always look for loopholes to make themselves the exception to Gods rule.

[Derek Rishmawy @DZRishmawy]

Personally, I think it is good we have no idea what the what Paul's "thorn in the flesh" actually was. Otherwise, we might be tempted to limit which situations situations God's grace is sufficient unto.

[aj mcgraw @quickdraw33]

Reminds me of The Slave Bible that was altered to remove all instances of freedom to give the enslaved religion but keep them in bondage.

I don’t recall Jesus ever making a man blind…I recall him making many blind men see, though.

[aj mcgraw @quickdraw33]

I very much share this sentiment 😂

"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are." -John Wooden

[Matt Smethurst @MattSmethurst]

If you haven’t been to church in months and you lack motivation to return, that’s understandable. Your gathering muscles have atrophied. Just don’t wait until you *feel* like returning before you do. Your heart is not your king.

Get your body there, and your heart will catch up.

Raising boys is knowing the difference between asking "Who wants to get out of the bath?" and "Who wants to get out of the bath FIRST?"

[aj mcgraw @quickdraw33]

I hate that Justice comes as a huge sigh of relief. I hate that she comes as an uncertain, tense, exhale that wasn't guaranteed.

But I am glad she comes.

I wonder what would be different if, for our whole lives, Christians weren't conditioned to "evangelize our neighbors" but to love them.

22-year-old Amanda Gorman is the youngest inaugural poet in U.S. history. Here's her full poem:

"A skinny Black girl descended from slaves and raised by a single mother can dream of becoming president, only to find herself reciting for one."
