“There are two types of pain in life: the pain of self-discipline, which is eased by doing the right thing, and the pain of regret, which aches until we die.”

@hankabadic @Orelac_ It is the best ♥️ And now I have 2 daughters and all 3 of us go 😄 …Eloise even recognizes the siren symbol and immediately gets excited and says “num num” (aka: food) cuz she knows she’s going to get a treat 😂♥️🥹

Leaders who never take a break eventually end up breaking.

The American church has enshrined her past. The past has been used as an excuse or justification for present behavior. When we make excuses for ourselves by drawing from the past, it is idolatry. An idol is what we give our strength to or draw our strength from - @LisaBevere

If you’re coming to Arizona from California, we have one ask:

Don’t forget why.

✔️ Skyrocketing costs
✔️ Burdensome policies
✔️ Quality of life

When we prioritize truth at the expense of love, we damage our faith and our witness because truth without love is ultimately not the truth.

The same goes for neglecting truth and favoring love. We must have both.

I believe in absolute truth.

I also believe it’s been weaponized.

We can have all the knowledge in the world, but if we have not love, we are nothing.

Many Christians fear that spending time listening means we have to sacrifice our convictions.

This is not true.

It means we have to sacrifice our defensiveness.

Never say publicly what you're unwilling to live privately.

why is this so uncomfortable to look at 😂

Churches and other organizations that are only waiting for things to return to a pre-COVID normal are in trouble. The pandemic is a disruption, not an interruption.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

If anyone had a right to question whether our democracy was worth redeeming, it was Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Because in the face of billy clubs and lynchings, poll taxes and literacy tests, he never gave in to violence, never waved a traitorous flag or gave up on our country.

This is a interview I did when President Obama was in office. People keep asking me if I supported President Obama the way I support Donald Trump. I think this is a good answer. https://t.co/pUvopsxY95

Love is kind. If it’s not, it’s something else.

[Carey Nieuwhof @cnieuwhof]

I try to remember this rule: If I’m judging someone, I’m not loving them. You can’t judge someone and love them at the same time.

What would happen if Christians stopped judging the world (isn’t that God’s job?) and started loving it instead?

[Kris Vallotton @kvministries]

Are building your empire or spreading His Kingdom, that is the question?

[Carey Nieuwhof @cnieuwhof]

As surprising as this sounds, every time you make progress as a church, you'll lose people.

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

If sin is inside us all we cannot just break the world into heroes and villains.
