@kkhope2africa @pastordhm@pastorllt You are so correct, Karen. Your dad was an incredible encourager, a steady influence and a true brother in Jesus. His words were always full of grace and His life modeled Philippians 2:1-5. Jesus uses men like him to build His Kingdom. He made my work as his pastor a joy.
@kkhope2africa @NASAKennedy@NASA Love seeing your dad looking at something strong and glorious. I have great hope that, even in these difficult days, the eyes of his heart can see our Strong and Glorious Savior! I love your mom and dad!!
In a world that praises and prizes such meaningless things, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for my wife, @egreenmommy For 20+ years, she has been the most charming and beautiful girl I know. But, her love of Jesus and reverent fear of the Lord are her greatest attributes.
It’s official: Jesus is the Best! He is the radiance of God’s glory, the exact imprint of God’s nature, the Creator/Sustainer of the universe...He is worshiped by angels & called “God” by the Father! (Hebrews 1). It makes my heart race & brings me joy just to think about Him!
@pastordhm Thank you, Pastor David. So grateful for your friendship and the blessing of serving our King alongside you. Praying that you, your family and the fellowship of Warren will experience Christ’s presence and power throughout 2020.
As I prepare the first sermon of the New Year, I tremble with sober hope. Jesus is coming again. It could be this year. It could be today. By active faith in His glorious grace, I pray we will be ready!
Matthew 25:14-30
In Christ, you are holy and blameless (Eph 1:4). He didn’t die for your temptations, mistaken allegations or false accusations. Jesus died for your sin. The sin YOU HAVE committed. The list is nailed to His cross...marked “canceled!” In Him you are holy and blameless! Rejoice!
@BrianAdams66 Thanks for the encouragement, bro. I praise Jesus for the grace to preach Christ every week to a church family I love.
“Far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ!” (Gal. 6:14)
If you’ve ever said, “I can’t handle this/I don’t want to live like this,” you aren’t alone. God designs the lives of His kids to allow for seasons of overwhelming struggle. He does this so that we will learn to depend on Him and experience His resurrection power! 2 Cor 1.8-11
Went on sabbatical last month and took a break from Twitter. Just read through some threads I “missed” while I was gone. The public bickering among evangelicals is astonishing.
My text for tomorrow - Mt 5:7 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
Lord, help us!
@matcrawford@natechapman Matt, thanks for the kind words. It’s hard to believe 15 years has gone by since we all started out together. Love you and grateful to be your friend and brother. Proud of Christ’s work in you!
So thankful for my best friend and the mother of my children. God has blessed our family through Christ in you! Happy Mother’s Day @egreenmommy...I love you very much.
Unless our programming is filled with people who are filled with the Spirit, there will be no life. At the same time, if Spirit-filled people serve in our programming, life will abound to those who are thirsty.
Lord, I want that river flowing out of me to those around me!
“Whoever believes in me...out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” Jn. 7:38
Jesus promises abundant life that pours OUT from us by the Spirit. Church leaders seem to promise a consumer-driven life that will flow INTO us through programs.
May we teach the full gospel!
