I’ve lived long enough to know what I want out of life. My aim is to live & love in imitation of Jesus. Though I daily fail, I’m resolute in the pursuit. It is not that I do not care what you think or what that looks like to you. It’s that I care incomparably more what He thinks.

Our natural tendency is to watch the world from behind the windows of [our] cultural home and to act as if people from other ethnicities have something special about them,but [our] home is normal. Awareness means the discovery that there is no normal position in cultural matters.

#whatshesaw...has already changed everything. Have you seen #UnPlanned this weekend?
“Dumbo’ Disappoints, @UnplannedMovie Surprises” Despite ad blocking on nearly all networks, black-out from “mainstream” media, Twitter suspension & more... @AbbyJohnson’s story of transformation from Planned Parenthood director to pro-life is captivating hearts everywhere

Pray for those affected by flooding in Nebraska @jjaugustine
Hundreds of people were evacuated from their homes in Nebraska and Iowa as levees succumbed to the rush of water. wave3.com/2019/03/17/dead-mi…

I believe in the transforming power of the cross. I believe people can change. I believe strongholds that have compromised the witness of the church for centuries can be broken in this generation & not because of us but because it seems utterly impossible & God likes those odds.

A shortcoming of our current society is we don't reason with the other side, we only denounce. Where is the space to do this?

There is only one proper adjective to describe people that are celebrating the fact that they can kill an infant at 9 months in the womb, and that is satanic. You quite literally need God if you see nothing problematic about slaughtering babies.

If your god never disagrees with you, you might just be worshiping an idealized version of yourself.

"Niceness" is a counterfeit of meekness or gentleness. The nice person always compliments, never disagrees because he is unwilling to risk his reputation for the sake of the good by opposing with anger what is evil.

I don't think Christianity spread like wildfire because the first Christians were always angry with the empire or because they were excellent critics of an insane emperor. It spread like wildfire because they proclaimed JOY & HOPE & FREEDOM even when the empire set them on fire.

Anybody getting what I’m saying? Here’s what I know: If you wait upon the Lord, you will always, without fail get what you’re waiting on: the Lord Himself. Blessings all mine with 10,000 beside. Great is Your faithfulness.

This is not just a sweet idea. To love is the very command of Christ Jesus to us. His priority. All the Bible study & morality we can muster can’t make up for its absence. There’s no harder obedience than loving unloving people but this is our calling. This is what sets us apart.

Abortion is the privileged born exercising life & death over the unprivileged unborn. It is ultimate oppression. #ProLife #ProChoice #CHOICE42

Let scoffers scoff but let the willing consider the evidence: Madness has descended on our culture in a blinding fog. Pure madness. Unreasonableness. Irreconcilability. Callousness. The devil has come to make animals of image bearers. This he does by convincing us we're gods.

After 70 (or 72) came back from mission trip, Luke (10:21ff) says “Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit & prayed.” This little phrase hagios pneuma means Jesus did these things: celebrated, danced, let Spirit loose, & prayed. Life of faith here:: celebrate, dance, trust the Spirit, pray

It will become increasingly vital that we learn to distinguish between what is pro-Christian and what is actually Christlike.
