  • C.S. Lewis on Desire

    C.S. Lewis on Desire

    “If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probably explanation is that I was made for another world.” C.S. Lewis How do I not have more C.S. Lewis quotes here? I could literally make an entire account out of quoting “The Screwtape Letters.” 🤔

  • Ray Chang on Identity

    Ray Chang on Identity

    “There are a ton of studies out there that show that political identities are a greater source of ones identity than their religion or ethnicity. The average Christian in the U.S. worships a donkey or an elephant more than the lamb of God. And the rising generation is taking note of this.” @raychang502 speaking to @heatherthompsonday on the @viraljesuspod…

  • Brady Boyd on Success

    Brady Boyd on Success

    “Jesus did not speak English, was never married and had no children, did not own a home, and died an early death, abandoned by his closest friends. In other words, very little about his life measures up to our ideas of success. Maybe, we are the ones who need to redefine success.” @pastorbradyboyd on twitter There’s…

  • Charles Spurgeon on Pancakes

    Charles Spurgeon on Pancakes

    “There is hardship in everything, except in eating pancakes.” Charles Spurgeon I don’t know what else to add to this. 🤷‍♂️ I usually have pancakes after a long run on Saturday morning. Personally, I like the Bisquick gluten-free pancakes, not because I’m gluten-free but I really like that you can’t over mix it. Plus I…

  • Russell Moore on those in Ecclesial Power

    Russell Moore on those in Ecclesial Power

    “To those of you who have been bullied and intimidated, had your names and your reputations destroyed by those in ecclesial power because you spoke up about abuse, or stood with those who did:  Jesus is far better than this. And he’s watching. Goodbye to all of that.” @russellmoore on Twitter I know these tweets (and…

  • Rebecca McLaughlin on the Truth

    Rebecca McLaughlin on the Truth

    “If any church, denomination, or organization cannot survive the disclosure of the truth, it should disband. If any Christian leader’s reputation cannot survive the disclosure of the truth, they should step down. Jesus Christ will build his church. He doesn’t depend on coverups.” @rebecc_mclaugh on Twitter I don’t know if there’s much to add to this.…

  • Donny Friederichsen on Scripture

    Donny Friederichsen on Scripture

    “Albert Schweitzer, at the end of his critique of the ‘Quest for the Historical Jesus’ in the late 19th-early 20th c., came to the conclusion that the historical Jesus always bore an uncanny resemblance to the researcher. Point being, once you rip Jesus from the written word of Scripture, you get a Jesus that always…

  • Mary Marantz on Authors

    Mary Marantz on Authors

    “There is a tendency for people to want to write books but not be authors. The difference between the two is whether you are originating new ideas or just taking a bunch of inspiring things out there and calling them your own.” @marymarantz on the The Call to Mastery with @jordanraynor I’ve illustrated a few quotes from…

  • Nikolaus Zinzendorf on your own quiet faith

    Nikolaus Zinzendorf on your own quiet faith

    “Remember, you must never use your position to lord it over the heathen. Instead, you must humble yourself and earn their respect through your own quiet faith and the power of the Holy Spirit. The missionary must seek nothing for themselves. You must be content to suffer, die, and be forgotten.” Nikolaus Zinzendorf – German…

  • Matt Chandler on what is noble and good

    Matt Chandler on what is noble and good

    “I think so many of the problems, including a lack of power in evangelicalism, is directly tied to the state of Biblical illiteracy and the belief that the Bible was given to guys like me to explain to you.” “We live in an environment that’s charged and you can refuse to participate in the outrage…
