Like a canyon formed over many years, our love grows deeper with every moment.

What does it look like for a faithful wife to pray for her husband to surrender to the Lord for 20+ years?
Then he melts under God’s grace, repents of his addiction, places his faith in Jesus Christ, & chooses to be baptized for the 1st time. Last pic is his daughter’s post.
There is grace this #HolySaturday, for all kinds of in-between spaces.
There is grace this Holy Saturday, for not being who you were, but not yet who you are to become. There is grace this Holy Saturday, for those in the liminal, shadowy place between crucifixion & resurrection.
@DylDixon Yes. If dependence is the objective, then weakness is the advantage. It’s through weakness where we learn how to operate in the power and knowledge of God Himself. He is our strength. Paul was a living & breathing example of this. Great message at my church on this yesterday.
The recurring crisis of the gifted leader will be whether or not he/she can resist the seduction of ambition. If we think we’ve conquered it, we’ve more likely renamed it goal setting. There’s still time to be a fool.
Go deeper, not bigger.
Only hardy roots can handle height.
A wise preacher once told me “Christine, you’re not preaching to the front row, you’re preaching to those who are hurting, confused and dying in the back row.” The day we seek to impress before we seek to express the heart of God, is the day we can kiss our ministries goodbye.
Dr. King was 26 when the Montgomery bus boycott began. He started small, rallying others who believed their efforts mattered, pressing on through challenges and doubts to change our world for the better. A permanent inspiration for the rest of us to keep pushing towards justice.
@Jackie_Nicole9 Hahaha 😭😩🤪
Love you, friend. And just to encourage you— from what I see from afar, you’re killin’ the game. Always stunning work. Miss you!
The chains of our addiction to approval and affirmation are so gripping, so thoroughly ironclad, they often take crushing to break. The addiction has to betray us & burn us so we will hate it enough to let it go. But on the other side is a truth that sets us free: no man is God.
If you want to know how Jesus felt about women & treated women, read the Gospels. Anything & anyone that does not reflect what you see in Jesus in black and white on those pages may wear a Christian label but never confuse that with Christlike. Jesus is no misogynist. Read & see.
