Thankful to the Lord for His kindness. We pray Missionary: Obeying the Great Commission inspires the Church to send and go to every language. See the award-nominated films at https://t.co/s7efESeKX2.

Bummer.. must have missed that. I book quite a lot to flights and just forward emails to the flighty email and that’s it. Don’t think any more about it than that.

I’ll pay closer attention next time. Still might not be a bad idea to have a push notification in regards to a flight that hasn't actually been found that's in someone's flights within the 24-hour period. 🤷‍♂️

I had a flight auto-imported and was relying on flighty like I do every time. Well the morning of waking up I look in flighty and it says the flight number was no longer found. I proceeded to go to Alaska Airlines app to find my flight number changed.

Ended up having to rebook another flight because I missed the flight number change that also changed the time to two hours earlier.

Not sure if there’s a way to avoid this in the future by push notifications if flighty realizes a flight number actually has no flight associated with it.

Imagine reading this in the newspaper today:

In concluding, Mr Aitken said that the generation immediately in front of us must be a missionary generation. With the present breaking-up of old faiths, the abandonment of old traditions, and the opening of every country in the world to the gospel, the generation that he and they were training must be a missionary generation under peril of the Christian Church missing the tide and becoming stranded as a thing that had no influence left in it.

Many don't know the impact Thomas Chalmers had on missions and the students of St. Andrews. Really looking forward to this and all the sons of Scotland that speak in it.

A new documentary from Missionary. Coming this October.

This episode w/ Chad Vegas might be the best explainer I've heard for why @missionary_com exists. Give Chad 6 minutes this morning. You won't regret it.

It was incredible to be part of the Psalm sing organized by Rosaria Butterfield at CrossCon where hundreds of 18-25 year olds learned to sing the Psalms, many for the first time!

“The worldling blesses God while he gives him plenty, but the Christian blesses him when he smites him: he believes him to be too wise to err and too good to be unkind; he trusts him where he cannot trace him, looks up to him in the darkest hour, and believes that all is well.”

Hey Chris. We really tried to get shipping down as much as possible with these and in most cases we are losing money on shipping costs. Whenever you ship packages this size that weigh this much, it’s really hard to avoid.

We are working on trying to find a UK distributor for our products, including these but it’s going to take some time.

I will be passing through London Heathrow early May and could bring several boxes with me as a checked bag, but I don’t have much time so I would have to meet you there to hand them off if that’s of interest to you. Let me know. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Drop 001 is live. Churches that send survive. Limited quantity. Link in bio.

[Stephen McCaskell @StephenMcC]

In 1880, Princeton Seminary professor C.W. Hodge warned that a church survives only by sending.
Not by institutional preservation.
Not by doctrine defended without obedience.

Missions were not an activity of the church. They were its life.
When a church stops sending, it does not stand still. It begins to die.

Drop 001 is built for those who still believe history turns on conviction.

Limited supply. Link in bio.

For it is not so much of our time and so much of our attention that God demands; it is not even all our time and all our attention; it is our-selves. For each of us the Baptist's words are true: "He must increase and I decrease." He will be infinitely merciful to our repeated failures; I know no promise that He will accept a deliberate compromise. For He has, in the last resort, nothing to give us but Himself; and He can give that only insofar as our self-affirming will retires and makes room for Him in our souls. Let us make up our minds to it; there will be nothing "of our own" left over to live on, no "ordinary" life. I do not mean that each of us will necessarily be called to be a martyr or even an ascetic. That's as may be. For some (nobody knows which) the Christian life will include much leisure, many occupations we naturally like. But these will be received from God's hands. In a perfect Christian they would be as much part of his "religion," his "service," as his hardest duties, and his feasts would be as Christian as his fasts.
What cannot be admitted-what must exist only as an undefeated but daily resisted enemy—is the idea of something that is "our own," some area in which we are to be "out of school," on which God has no claim.

For He claims all, because He is love and must bless. He cannot bless us unless He has us. When we try to keep within us an area that is our own, we try to keep an area of death. Therefore, in love, He claims all. There's no bargaining with Him.
