@howertonjosh Josh, I am Sovereign Grace pastor in Tennessee & am going to Ho Chi Minh City tomorrow to visit family with my wife. Do you have contact information for this church? We’d love to attend.

[Walt Alexander @waltalexander]

@howertonjosh @marcgoodwin Josh, I’d love to watch it too. Is there a way for me to do so? (Marc, hello!)

[Walt Alexander @waltalexander]

@howertonjosh Yes I would

M. Lloyd-Jones was once asked how to tell if you're preaching in the flesh or Spirit:

"That is very easy. If you are preaching in the energy of the flesh, you will feel exalted and lifted up. If you are preaching in the power of the Spirit, you will feel awe and humility.”

.@ShaiLinne Shai, thank you for your post on TGC. It was so hard to read but helpful to see you tease out the implications for you as a man, husband, father, etc. Thank you. I pray it helps the church to think more carefully.

[Walt Alexander @waltalexander]

@eastpc Tony, I listened to your message just now from yesterday. Excellent! I respect you & thank God for you. I like the goatee!

Meanwhile at @UTKnoxville, there’s a live band riding around in a truck playing Rocky Top and handing out free hot dogs. This was a dream come true for me 🌭🍊

We gather for worship not only for ourselves because we need it, and not only for others because they need us and we need them, we gather for God not because he needs it but because he desires it so that he would be glorified by those whose greatest need is to glorify God.

[Burk Parsons @BurkParsons]

Gathered worship is like a family reunion with complete strangers crashing the party and everyone welcoming them and being happy they came.
