@PresbyInn Thanks for sharing and for your prayers! If anybody feels led to move to beautiful Upstate NY to see this plant through by God’s grace, please reach out!

Excellent explanation of how Reformed Presbyterians approach worship.

Much better to frame it as doing what God has commanded, rather than what is forbidden.

[Ryan Alsheimer @ryanalsheimer]

Christ’s compassion is as prominent as His command. Note which comes first:

And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more."
John 8:11

[Ryan Alsheimer @ryanalsheimer]

“To believe in the triune God of Scripture who speaks and acts in history requires an act of apostasy from the assumed creed of our age.”

The solution to your unbelief in God is not your own self-willed belief, but Christ’s perfect belief in the Father on your behalf.

Believe the Believing One.

[Ryan Alsheimer @ryanalsheimer]

Jesus’ brothers lived with him for their whole lives and still had unbelief and missed the point until after the Resurrection (John 7:5). Your eternal security is not in your own hands. Thankfully it’s in His.

Technology is base neutral on the good / evil scale. Most of the time I use it poorly, but tonight I was able to write a sermon outline completely on my phone, which I hope will be used to build a few more bricks in God’s Kingdom. That’s pretty neat.

Hey. I haven’t tweeted in 5 years. Lots of times I’m like, “this is a cool thought that I should write down,” so I’m going to try to do that some more. Kapow!

Rain can spoil our plans,
Drive all hopes into puddles.

Real love is God’s love.
It can't well up from within.
He is. We receive.

Religion says “do a,b,c and you will obtain x,y,z”. Christianity says “because Jesus did a,b,c, you will obtain God himself.”

World: "If there is a God, why do bad things happen?"

Christian: "If there is no God, how do good things happen?"

[Ryan Alsheimer @ryanalsheimer]

@angel1nhell good point!

[Ryan Alsheimer @ryanalsheimer]

You know that thing that you run to for comfort when your life is insane and things aren't going your way? Jesus wants to be that for you.
