A General Observation
I’m a church historian and theologian who teaches leadership courses. Please indulge a general observation. Pastors who really enjoy theology should probably read a few more leadership books. And pastors who really enjoy leadership should probably read a few more theology books. NATHAN A FINN from Twitter So I was digging *deep* into my ideas…

Tim Keller on Better Discourse
“Never describe the view of an opponent in a way he or she will not own. Rather describe their view so they say, ‘I couldn’t have put it better myself.’ Only then should proceed to refute the view. If instead you caricature your opponent — you persuade no one.” Tim Keller on Twitter If I…

Dan White Jr. and those Ragamuffin Christians
Consumerism turned the Church into a service provider: “I want good preaching.”“I want amazing worship.”“I want great kid’s programs.” Would we go to Church if it was just a bunch of ragamuffin Jesus-followers gathering around a table, trying to love God and love neighbors? Pastor Dan White Jr. on twitter I just want to say,…

Pete Scazzero on Assumptions
“Every time I make an assumption about someone without confirming it, I am at risk for believing a lie about this person.” @petescazzero This is from a screenshot I’ve had in the *folder of ideas* for a long time.

I don’t support my family from sketchy sermons money…

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…

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…

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…
