In other words, what would it look like for people to experience God’s goodness, peace, mercy, and justice in my community? What would it look like for the poor, oppressed, marginalised, prisoner, foreigner, widow, and orphan to flourish in my community?

[Samuel Gates @SamuelVGates]

A question for every Jesus follower to ask themselves - what does “Your kingdom come in my community as it is in heaven” look like?

[Samuel Gates @SamuelVGates]

@DIsgrigg @AG_USA Wow. That’s a very impressive list.

[Samuel Gates @SamuelVGates]

@TimStevensAus Wise man. You could probably add MAGA to the list.

[Samuel Gates @SamuelVGates]

They got us! 🤪

[Reeve McLennan 🐅🏆🏆🏆🇦🇺 @ReeveMcLennan]

Congratulations to the US beating Australia 2 medals to 1 in the Women’s 100 metre backstroke 😉

[Samuel Gates @SamuelVGates]

@BleacherReport Lol. That’s not how an Olympic medal tally works. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[Samuel Gates @SamuelVGates]

@lawgurrl @franklinleonard None of those are even our national sport. Cricket and Australian Rules Football are huge here and they’re not Olympic sports.

[Samuel Gates @SamuelVGates]

@RichStearns True. This might need to be repeated a few times during the election cycle.

[Samuel Gates @SamuelVGates]

@GWSGIANTS Great news! I love the game-style he has the boys playing. It’s really good to watch.

[Samuel Gates @SamuelVGates]

@PastorBenMarsh Godly people with integrity are going to be continually trashed in that camp if they don’t play from their songbook.

[Samuel Gates @SamuelVGates]

@TimStevensAus @mbird12 A lot of tough guys being anonymous. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[Samuel Gates @SamuelVGates]

@mbird12 These replies are hilarious. 😂

[Samuel Gates @SamuelVGates]

@mbird12 Absolutely correct. It’s good to be Australian.

[Samuel Gates @SamuelVGates]

@megbasham He sounds like a godly man who we could all learn from.

[Samuel Gates @SamuelVGates]

@TimStevensAus It’s pretty strange. I live in a semi-rough neighbourhood. Could I go for walks at any hour of the night without fear of being shot? Yes. I like it that way.

[Samuel Gates @SamuelVGates]

@_zacharygates Excellent choices. 👏🏻

[Samuel Gates @SamuelVGates]

If you want to see the totally sane place US politics has found itself in, just check out the replies to this tweet from the former VP. Or don’t and carry on enjoying your day in peace. 🥴

[Mike Pence @Mike_Pence]

President Joe Biden made the right decision for our country and I thank him for putting the interests of our Nation ahead of his own. After the assassination attempt on President Trump and President Biden’s decision to end his campaign, now is a time for leaders in both parties to project calm and send a message of strength and resolve to America’s friends and enemies alike that, whatever the state of our politics, the American people are strong and our American military stands ready to defend our freedom and our vital national interests anywhere in the world.

Then there’s a page about John on the Island of Patmos. How would you go about explaining the book of Revelation to a child? 😂

[Samuel Gates @SamuelVGates]

My 4-year-old has been flicking through the pages of her children’s Bible and has been asking some excellent questions along the way. I’m also pleasantly surprised with how detailed this children’s Bible is. We’re going through the New Testament. 🧵

[Samuel Gates @SamuelVGates]

So far I’ve been able to explain things like Peter striking the servant of the High Priest, the cross, resurrection, the upper room where the Spirit is poured out, and even Saul on the road to Damascus.
