"When asked, 'What is more important: Prayer or Reading the Bible?' I ask, 'What is more important: Breathing in or Breathing out?'"
— Charles Spurgeon
You don’t invite the world to the church. You invite fellow believers to the world There they will learn from Jesus how to do life with sinners, tax collectors, outcasts, nones, ordinary people & all the rest
George Foreman said the night he met Jesus was more real than any punch he ever took. Laid out in a locker room, blood on the floor, soul on the line—he didn’t find religion, he found truth.
Gillette blades
Gillette blades are primarily made from high-quality martensitic stainless steel. This steel typically contains 12-14% chromium and about 0.6% carbon, which provides exceptional hardness and corrosion resistance, essential for maintaining a sharp edge during use. Additionally, some blades may include molybdenum to enhance durability, with coatings like polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) applied to reduce friction and improve the shaving experience.
So, how do Gilette blades get blunt? Not the way most people think. They get blunt through small chips in the blade, and then the blade starts to fracture. So what causes the chips? The beard. Although beard stubbles are soft, they are hard enough to chip and fracture high-quality martensitic stainless steel—produced to be “exceptional hard and corrosion resistant.”
This is how love works that has been sanctified by the cross and the Holy Spirit. And grace. And meekness. And humility. And kindness. And goodness. Love chips into hardness, evil, hatred and unforgiveness - cuts into it, fractures it - destroys it. Meekness does the same. And humility, and kindness, and forgiveness also.
Love never fails. Ask the millions of Gilette blades that are being disposed of every day.
Many of us have been to the cross, but the problem isn’t getting people to the cross, the problem is getting people ON the cross. The problem isn’t that He’ll die with me, but that I’ll die with Him!
One of the biggest turns in my life was when I realized "I don't need to prove I'm right, to be right."
I can just share my perspective and let it linger out there—no need to push, persuade, or power-up.
Elitism has no place in God’s kingdom.
Adam was a gardener,
Ruth was a field laborer,
Nehemiah was a cupbearer,
David was a shepherd,
Joseph was a carpenter,
Mary was a mother,
Peter was a fisherman,
Paul was a tentmaker.
God uses ordinary people to advance His kingdom!
The goal of the Gospel is not to affirm you, celebrate you, or empower you to do whatever you want to do.
The goal of the Gospel is to rescue you, transform you, and empower you to do whatever God wants you to do.
God cares too much for us to let our own failures and shame define us. He refuses that our sins have the decisive say. That’s why the cross of Jesus is God’s new place and space of grace
