  • Tim Keller on Ministry and Marriage

    Tim Keller on Ministry and Marriage

    “No form of ministry is more important than my marriage and family.” Tim Keller from Twitter. I’m not “in ministry.” I haven’t experienced the stress and the problems and the loneliness that a lot of people experience while trying to serve their calling from the Lord. I don’t support my family from sketchy sermons money…

  • Beloved Image Bearer

    Beloved Image Bearer

    “If your thought when seeing a woman in a bikini is, “she dresses like a whore”; your mind is in need of greater sanctification than that woman. Jesus had actual prostitutes washing his feet & his thought was *beloved image bearer*.” @kylejhoward_ There’s a backstory to this and if you spend any time on twitter you’re…

  • Christianity is a Prism

    Christianity is a Prism

    “Christianity is a prism. It’s the light that matters, not the glass.” – @hughcards Almost everything I post here is faith-based but I’d be remiss if I didn’t post voices that have influenced me and helped guide what I do here and how I do it. One of those people is Hugh MacLeod. I ran into…

  • Lead like Christ

    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…

  • Encourage Fiercely

    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

    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

    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…

  • A Life of Sacrifice

    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…

  • Loki and Pastor Rich

    Loki and Pastor Rich

    3 preaching points from Loki (Episode 2) 1. Apocalypses are points of revelation. 2020 is a reminder of this 2. Order ≠ Peace (Order—especially of an institutional kind—is often a tool of oppression & depersonalization). 3. Much of life is oriented around the tyranny of timelines. @richvillodas I was going to wait until next week…

  • America and Racism

    America and Racism

    “The idea that America has been systematically racist is an idea entirely compatible with scripture’s depiction of sin. But it’s entirely incompatible with the story America tells itself. And a lot of Christians have believed America.” @kaitlynschiess on Twitter I want to get in the habit here of posting things here that are not necessarily controversial but…
