Quote from Tim Keller that has highly ministered to me over the years.
Thank you, @timkellernyc, for compacting gospel truths to logical and relatable phrases over the years. What you do with words is what I strive to do visually.

Glory be to You alone
King who reigns from a manger throne
My life, my praise, everything I own
To Jesus the King on a manger throne

@DanBell__ What app are you using to color it?

@Preston_n_Perry What if we just *can't* understand certain things about God?

Like trying to bend our minds around 4D objects or quantum physics. But exponentially more so.

3/ “Sin demands to have a man by himself.
The more isolated a person is, the more destructive the power of sin is over him.”

Christian community is so important, yet often so understated.

Thankful to see it highlighted in Fuel and the Flame (Ch. 9). 🧵

1/ “It doesn’t matter how strong you think you are.
What matters is how strong your community is.”

is to live in a circle of those who are.”

4/ We're never stationary.
Sometimes we're gung-ho in the frontlines.
Sometimes we're lulled to sleep.
Or retreating out of fear.
Or just stuck in the middle.

Pray first for ourselves.
To see the spiritual reality for what it is.
To commit and fight in order to win souls.

Quotes pulled from Fuel and the Flame (ch. 6). 🧵

1/ "Global evangelism does not take place in a demilitarized zone but on the battleground of spiritual warfare."
— @edstetzer

3/ "...Prayer malfunctions when we make it a domestic intercom to call upstairs for more comforts in the den. God has given us prayer as a wartime walkie-talkie so that we can call headquarters for everything we need as the kingdom of Christ advances in the world."
— @JohnPiper
