Proverbs 23:17-18 - “Let not your heart envy sinners, but continue in the fear of the LORD all the day. Surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off.”
I love the Bucks. But I’ve been saying it for the last 3 years. Middleton is not the guy. I wasn’t happy with the Holiday pickup, and I feel validated with that opinion now. Bucks have to get a scorer. Middleton and Holiday are great 3rd options, but we need a superstar scorer.
Sanctification rarely looks like an immediate ceasing of a particular sin. It more often looks like an increase in the distance between repeated sins, and a decrease in the distance between committing them and confessing them. God is so patient with his children.

3. I'm sorry.
4. I forgive you.
5. I'm listening.
6. Communism has failed every time it was tried.
7. You've got what it takes.
Your hope is not ultimately based on your strength to hold on but on Christ’s strength holding you forever in the palm of his hand. Even when you feel like letting go, if you genuinely trust him, he will never let you go.
“Look at your tree and remember another tree—one not decorated with shining ornaments, but stained with the blood of the Son of God. As you celebrate, remember that the pathway to your celebration was the death of the One you celebrate, and be thankful.” - Paul Tripp
God has punished Christ; should he punish twice for one offense? Christ has died for all his people's sins.
If you are in the covenant, damned you cannot be.
Until God can be unjust, and demand two payments for one debt, he cannot destroy the soul for whom Jesus died.
Spurgeon
Hey @kanyewest I’ve been thinking about sending this for a long time. Not sure if you will see it. My family recently moved to Santa Clarita, CA and my dad became the president of @MastersSeminary & University. Ever since I knew he was going out there, I’ve wanted to meet you.
I’m a youth pastor in South Carolina and in seminary myself, but I am planning to be on CA from Dec 27-Jan 3 to visit my family. Hit me up if you are free and want to get coffee!
