No joke: 3 YEARS later.

Don’t remember this one, but I clearly missed out on a prime opportunity.

If each spouse says to the other, "I will treat my selfishness as the main problem in the marriage," you have the prospect for great things.

@Uber_Support My reserved trip was cancelled due to a driver’s flat tire, and the replacement ride was about $30 more than quoted. No support options are available. How do I get a refund for the difference?

Thanks for your help! #UberSupport

“It is misleading to say that God accepts us the way we are…He accepts us despite the way we are. He receives us only in Christ and for Christ’s sake. Nor does He mean to leave us the way He found us, but to transform us into the likeness of His Son!” – Sinclair Ferguson

@ThomRainer It would be interesting, and likely more helpful, to see this weighted against total population by faith tradition.

The Bible indicates that our thought life ultimately determines our character. “For as he thinks within himself, so he is.” (Proverbs 23:7)

@ThomasSKidd “Grovel” is a bit overstated.

If you ever happen upon a rowdy bunch of Socinians denying the deity of Jesus (and the Trinity), remind them the Messiah would be called “Mighty God (YHWH)” Is. 9:6

There are people who are filled with knowledge, but empty of mercy and love.

Psalm 4:7–8 (ESV): 7  You have put more joy in my heart
than they have when their grain and wine abound.
8  In peace I will both lie down and sleep;
for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.

Contempt may win followers, but it is not pastoral. It masquerades as righteous anger, but it is, in fact, self-serving and self-elevating. It may make a point, but it always has a victim.

I sense the need to constantly remind myself of my utter dependence on God in every area of life.

You don't get to despise a group of people _and_ give them advice.

"If half the breath we spend finding fault with other Christians were spent in prayer and praise, how much happier, how much richer, we should be!"

— Charles Spurgeon

[Jared C. Wilson @jaredcwilson]

The only thing more bewildering than the widespread embrace by many very online evangelicals, including pastors, of "sitting in the seat of scoffers" is their constant justifying of this wickedness, even valorizing it as somehow constituting *righteous* engagement.

[Ronnie Martin @ronniejmartin]

The reason we’re drawn to humble people is because they feel like they’ve spent time with Jesus.

And they have.

"Faith is a simple clinging to Christ."

— Charles Spurgeon

[Jerry Bridges @bridgeswisdom]

To abide in Christ is to set aside our own wisdom, strength, and merit in order to draw all from Him.
