"I have heard some argue that all extraordinary revivals are preceded by intense prayer or deep spiritual hunger or some other work of human effort.… I simply don’t believe it. There is no formula. There is only God’s kindness and our response." https://t.co/4VRauLGa4d

Among the many things I love about the @vineyardusa: rich theology of worship, strong advocacy for women in leadership, and a balance of Word and Spirit.
But what I love most is the way the Vineyard values relationship. Many of my best friends are Vineyard pastors and leaders.

This violence against our Asian American neighbors is from the mouth of hell. Hate acts. It does not stay confined to the heart & mind. It incites the tongue. Untreated, it travels to hands & feet. Hate is murderous. (1Jn 3:15) Stand against it. Speak against it. Pray against it.
I believe the coming revival will be theological in nature. We are ripe for theological realignment with Kingdom values. Steve Rankin shares strong insights here that resonate. https://t.co/1UokWfKSHm
We can all publish our thoughts, instantly, on a global scale. And, alas, we do. We all have seen this power abused, damaging people and communities. This article offers wisdom about the perils of "frictionlessness" and the virtue of keeping a "wastebook."

A few thoughts on work and progress: work, especially meaningful work or creative work, is rarely appreciated in the beginning. Harvest is preceded by a million unimpressive steps that don’t feel particularly inspiring or rewarding.
Pastors! You are invited to a roundtable, Thurs Jan 21 @ 9am PST, on "Leading in a Post-Truth World" with @RoseMadridS, @RichNathan, @dr_schlaven and @calebmaskell. Come discuss Christian Nationalism, conspiracies, and discerning truth. Details at link⬇️

discovering the “radical middle” is not finding the sweet spot between the poles of binary thinking; nor a reductionist compromise of differing opinions, beliefs or approaches; nor some sense of “peace peace” when there is no peace; but actually Jesus. The man. God. Full stop.
SVS contributor @Donnell Wyche with a non-optional Kingdom perspective on white supremacy. It is a false idol and must be cast down...and the Church must go first!
I unequivocally condemn white supremacy.
It is demonic.
I condemn the church’s silence and partnership with white supremacy–this death-dealing, anti-life, anti-God system of dehumanization. - Deuteronomy 12:3
Come, Lord Jesus!
Tara Isabella Burton (@NotoriousTIB) has written an incredibly valuable book on the intersections between religion and consumption in the Internet age. Super-smart and super-accessible. Required reading for anyone thinking about Christian mission in 2020
