Iβve never regretted having a book with me and not having the chance to read it, but I have regretted having a chance to read and not having a book with me.

Unexpected forms of generosity:
-Being early can be a form of generosity. You wait, so they don't have to.
-Leaving something unsaid can be a form of generosity. You don't always need the last word.
-Delivering your work on time can be a form of generosity. You make life easier for everyone downstream.
-Not taking things personally can be a form of generosity. You give people the space to say things imperfectly.

βFaith totters if it pays attention to works, since no one, even of the most holy, will find there anything on which to rely.β

The highest-leverage education you can ever receive will come from a book.
Inside these magical little boxes, you've got the condensed wisdom of the most brilliant, successful, happy, fulfilled, astonishing, and knowledgeable experts and change-makers...
And it's all just THERE for you.
You don't need anyone's permission to read books.
You don't need money or connections.
You don't need to wait for anyone or anything.
You can just READ BOOKS and transform your life - from this moment onward.
I for one think that's pretty damn magical. And it's the work of my life to spread that magic far and wide.

In shaky times, it is so reassuring to have an unshakable kingdom. βTherefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and so let us offer to God acceptable worship with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fireβ (Heb 12:28f).
Happy Lordβs Day!

My new book, βThe Water and the Blood: How the Sacraments Shape Christian Identity,β officially releases today with @crossway. I show that baptism and Communion reveal our true identity in Christ and shape us more into his image. Check it out! crossway.org/books/the-waterβ¦

βTim in the PCA was a little bit like Gandalf in the Shire. We think heβs just a guy that does fireworks at birthday parties, when heβs actually out there in the world slaying dragons and taking on evil wizards.β

We shall have need to pray for mercy as long as we live. No child of God can go to a communion table, or leave this world with more fitting words on his lips than these: βGod be merciful unto me a sinner.β We need mercy at every step. We shall need it to the last.
~ William S. Plumer, on Psalm 67:1 β at Montgomery, AL

Reading: 10 tweets of reflection and exhortation.
About 5 years ago, I was listening to Tim Keller do an interview, I think with Desiring God. One of the questions they asked Tim was, βwhatβs the single greatest piece of advice you would give to young Christian men?β (1)
