“Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is Risen!” Let God change your expectations today. A Risen Lord defeated death, but far too often we are looking in the wrong places for truth. He has truth to tell us. Truth changes us.

[Charles Spurgeon @_CSpurgeon_]

Hold everything earthly with a loose hand; but grasp eternal things with a death-like grip.

[Rick Stevens @Rick87preacher]

So much of what the world proclaims is about how to build yourself up. The miracle of Christmas is that Jesus came down to us in a body of flesh to make it possible to be right with God! He humbled Himself, so we could live.

“Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; He has risen!” Quit looking for answers in all the wrong places!

“We want the results of Jesus without using the methods of Jesus.” -Ken Braddy

[Rick Stevens @Rick87preacher]

Jesus said, “You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” John 8:32. Real Freedom is found in wisdom and truth of a Savior that gave himself to be a sacrifice dealing with our sin. Liberty is not just a word in a patriotic tribute. Liberty comes to Jesus seekers!

Anytime the Church gets in bed with politics the Church gets pregnant. And the offspring does not look like our Father in heaven-@jdgreear #SBC21

Approaching the annual meeting of the @sbc2021, there are lots of theme words possible. Unity, Mission, or Hope are great words. However, the theme of @SBC2021 should be REPENTANCE! That is the place to start! Over 16k attending. What If My People, Who Are Called By My Name…?

In a world that says “follow your heart” and “find your own truth,” Proverbs says “There is a way that seems right to a man, the End thereof is death.” #wisdom

[Rick Stevens @Rick87preacher]

On this Resurrection Day, it is good to hear Luke’s story. He records that the women were asked “Why do you look for the living among the dead?” He is alive! Do you expect a dead Jesus, a dead religion, or a Living Lord? #HeIsRisen #Jesus

Cancel Culture is not a new thing. Jesus repeatedly was the target of those who wanted to cancel him for the people he talked to, the truth he spoke, and the people he valued. They cancelled him all the way to the cross. Three days later, he cancelled death!

Baptized five new believers today @FBCT_Voice! Stirring the baptismal waters never gets old. We have more baptisms scheduled for next Sunday! #atleast101in2021 @NAMB_SBC @whosyour1_ @IMB_SBC @SBCCP @randycdavistbc @Rick87preacher

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. - 1 Timothy 2:1-2

[Rick Stevens @Rick87preacher]

“When the time came to completion, God sent His Son, born of a woman...”. (Gal. 4:4) on this Christmas morning, we can rest assured that He is Lord and is aware of whatever we face today. Timing is everything and God made a way for us to be redeemed...even in 2020! #ChristmasHope

Church, an exhausted culture needs an alternative to itself, not an echo of itself. https://t.co/NQZ2EBRGBj via @cnieuwhof

Words for today...Pray, Vote, and Remember. Remember that the Great Commission and Great Commandment do not change because of an election. Remember to be kind to those with whom you disagree. Remember to pray for the President, knowing hope is in the Lamb not a political party.

Now more than ever, churches that love their model more than their mission will die. https://t.co/lINMwgmg7M via @cnieuwhof

“Many are the plans of a man’s heart, but the counsel of the Lord will stand.” Pr. 19:21 Many of our plans have been sidelined, but God is not surprised by our interruption. He is doing some powerful things in these days!

[Rick Stevens @Rick87preacher]

@Bradford_Smith3 Powerful!
