@brheiny @AdminJustice You forgot to take a picture of our lunch at Taco Bell!

Parenting is 50% prayer, 40% repentance, and 10% quoting “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” to your kids.

[sammy rhodes @sammyrhodes]

The only parenting advice I trust is from parents who readily admit their failures.

[Sam Haist @samhaist]

Read it. You’ll be glad you did. Thanks, @TheAlanNoble.

"There is only one nonnegotiable rule for prayer: 'Show up! Show up regularly!' The ups and downs of our minds and hearts are of secondary importance."

Big fan of this.

[Sam Haist @samhaist]

Big reason why I’m not on here much anymore. The medium itself tends to foster these kinds of interactions, and I’ve largely decided it’s not good for my soul.

[Derek Radney @derekradney]

Generally, it's a bad idea to argue/debate someone committed to misrepresenting your position and/or incapable of understanding what your actual position is.

This is especially true on social media.

[Sam Haist @samhaist]

@brheiny @NicholasMcD Bwahahaha! This is amazing.

[Ben Hein @brheiny]

The other day I was going to text @samhaist and @NicholasMcD to ask if they have any interest in starting a podcast.

Now I feel way too seen.

[Sam Haist @samhaist]

Catching up on the latest season from the @AsinHvn podcast, and I’ve been really impressed by it. Fantastic look at the rise of de-churching, and what that means for our discipleship and church cultures: https://t.co/s0KSnyytgL

[Sam Haist @samhaist]

@aarikdanielsen Lil John indeed always speaks truthfully.

[Sam Haist @samhaist]

@ARStager @HarrisonKey Absolutely loved it

[Sam Haist @samhaist]

The most heartbreaking, hilarious, and beautiful thing I’ve read in quite some time. You should read it too.

[Sam Haist @samhaist]

Excited to see what comes of this. Great folks involved, and looks really encouraging.

[David Cassidy @DPCassidyTKC]

I'm thankful for God's faithfulness to the PCA over the past 50 years. The story of the next 50 will be written through the actions we start taking today. It's time for a new Gospel-saturated alliance of brothers & sisters and churches & ministries to rise

First day of VBS…..Last day of VBS.

1) Don’t say things I wouldn’t say in front of my church.

2) Log off frequently for an extended amount of time (days, weeks, months, etc.)

3) If I find myself compulsively checking responses, delete the tweet immediately.

4) Don’t take yourself too seriously.

[Justin Whitmel Earley @Justin_W_Earley]

Give me your top habits for living out the fruits of the spirit on social media…

This is a serious request.

[Sam Haist @samhaist]

@ARStager Sky’s out, thighs out

[John Starke @john_starke]

Reading Augustine’s homilies on First John and struck by how much “divisive individuals” are driven by “lofty ideals of moral purity” imposed on others and “a claim of holiness as something unique to themselves.”

Ultimately, divisiveness comes from a lack of “charity.”

[Sam Haist @samhaist]

@brheiny Of these, Cholula. But Sriracha will still be the GOAT when the famine is over.

A final message from my dear friend and long-time colleague, @timkellernyc, to the congregants of the Redeemer family of churches in NYC.

@profsamperry Also: make extended time away a priority. Like, weeks and months at a time.

[Sam Haist @samhaist]

@profsamperry Whenever I find myself compulsively checking interactions, immediately delete the tweet in question. Not worth the distraction.
