Advice for the Rich
“Anybody who is rich and successful and they’re trying to measure up – just surrender. Give your heart to Christ and let Jesus mold you because that stuff can be here today and gone tomorrow.” @brianheadwelchspeaking at @crsrdschurch I don’t mind revealing that back in the 90’s I was a pretty big Korn fan. Not because of…

Lead like Christ
“Show me a husband who leads like Christ, and I’ll show you a wife who feels loved.” @ryan_fredwith @fiercemarriage Julie and I will have been married 24 years this November which is really exciting but has one really unfortunate drawback; we’ve seen a lot of marriages fall apart. This is stuff is hard. I appreciate all the…

It Is What You Make of It
I hate the phrase “It is what it is” because it doesn’t put me in the position to be humble about what I want to change in the world. @justinmcroberts I’ve become a huge fan of the 10 Minute Bible Talks by @thecrossingcomo – this episode in particular with Justin McRoberts really spoke to me in that…

Make Good Tables
“The Church’s approach to an intelligent carpenter is usually confined to exhorting him not to be drunk and disorderly in his leisure hours, and to come to church on Sundays. What the Church should be telling him is this: that the very first demand that his religion makes upon him is that he should make…

Ready to be Used?
I know @thomasroadwas handing out notebooks but I’m still taking notes on the iPad. Great sermon and I love this quote from Pastor @jonathanfalwell; “what could you accomplish if you were simply ready to be used?”

Encourage Fiercely
When you offer critique, do so gently. When you offer encouragement, do so fiercely. @scottsauls — I’ve had a number of Pastor Scott’s tweets in the queue but this one always just sticks with me. If you want to know how to bless someone today just encourage them. Say a really kind thing to someone…

Kingdom Normal
This was a tweet from @deaninserra . I had to retool it a bit to fit here and I hope I didn’t misconstrue any of his points! Here’s the original in it’s entirety: —I think part of Christian discipleship is helping people redefine “normal.” The things you see in this world might seem normal, but it is…

Farmers Don’t Build Babels
Maybe we need less language about building something great, and more language about tending the field God gave you. Head down, hand on the plow, eyes on Christ. Because farmers don’t build babels. @sharonhmiller Sharon recently made an appearance here but this quote went so well with the one I posted from Tim Keller yesterday…

Social Media Identity and the Church
Could at least some Christians be known for their love on the internet? And could they take part in the rebuilding of new spaces of public discourse in which we can present our faith confidently and listen to our critics carefully and humbly–at the same time? Yes, we could. But will we? @timkellernyc Tim Keller’s…

A Life of Sacrifice
“The Lord has called us not to a Sunday Event, but to a life of sacrifice.” @myronpierce It’s easy to go on Christian autopilot – especially when you go to a large church. You can check the box, attend the Sunday service, pray before meals, tithe right at 10%, and you’re still in the club. I…
