Recently, I’ve been putting more and more privacy measures in place - a VPN on my phone & PC, stronger passwords, and encrypted apps for messaging. However, what I wasn’t prepared for was homegrown spies.

Someone else’s revelation can inspire you but it won’t sustain you over the long haul. You need your own revelation of Jesus. Study the Word. Pray. Seek God for yourself.

@judahsmith Well said truth.

[Judah Smith @judahsmith]

Through worship—by the exaltation of the person of Jesus—healing will flow through the streets of our cities, our towns, and our villages, but it will also flow through the streams of our own souls and hearts.

If you are struggling today, don't give up. We are never stronger than when we are dependent on God. "I can do all this through him who gives me strength." - Philippians 4:13

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

We are more sinful and flawed than we ever dared believe, yet more loved and accepted in Jesus than we ever dared hope.

Hey iPhone and auto-correct, I don’t need the word “apple” capitalized every time I type it. Get over yourself already.

[Judah Smith @judahsmith]

When we discover who God is, and when we allow Him to lead our lives, we discover satisfaction and fulfillment like never before.

Question - If you eat a Beyond Burger plant-based patty, does it count as a serving of meat and a serving of vegetables, or do I have to choose?

Due to the insensitivity of the lyrics, I’m quarantining myself from “Sweet Caroline” for several weeks. No more “Hands, touching hands, reaching out, touching me, touching you” until this crisis is over.

With our buildings closed, our Florence site reallocated their weekend budget and used it to help fill their local food pantry as they prepare to help feed thousands of students who are home for the next several weeks during the #coronavirus pandemic.

Our anxiety does not come from thinking about the future, but rather from wanting to control it.

Anxiety doesn’t remove tomorrow’s suffering, it only removes today’s strength.

Rest in who JESUS IS and give all fears and anxieties to him.

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

Nothing is more important than to learn how to maintain a life of purpose in the midst of painful adversity.

[Brian Tome @BrianTome]

The world is one of increasing polarization. At the white hot center a divide seemingly impossible to cross. Root yourself in Jesus who brings peace that outlives the election. Be in the @radicalmiddle20 to hear the thoughts, fears, hopes of all sides. https://t.co/s7PRIbsCON

I’m digging the 2020 reference in this one...

“...As they set out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, Judah and people of Jerusalem! Have faith in the Lord your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful.””
2 Chronicles 20:20 NIV
