My truth is subjective b/c it’s limited. My truth can be entirely or partially aligned with error. I shouldn’t live my life with my truth as my standard. I must submit my truth to an objective standard. The objective standard is the Word of the one who personifies truth, God.

we keep praying for “things to go back to normal”. what if the last thing the Lord wants is for us to “go back to normal”? our greatest need isn’t normal, it’s renewal.

The greatest need of the hour is a revived and joyful church... Unhappy Christians are a poor recommendation for the faith ... the exuberant joy of the early Christians was one of the most potent factors in the spread of Christianity. — D.M. Lloyd-Jones, 1964

As we wait for society to return to something-like-normal, I want to plead with you: Don’t just make it through this time. Redeem this time. Don’t waste your quarantine. buff.ly/2w39RiI

Oh that these days would not be merely endured but that a Holy desire for God will be ignited in the hearts of our people and that the flame would revive us. @GoRedemption

In every century, in this century, in the next century, the Passion is what it was in the first century, when it occurred; a thing stared at by a crowd. It remains a tragedy of the people; a crime of the people; a consolation of the people; but never merely a thing of the period.

If sin took down Samson, the strongest man, Solomon, the wisest man, and David, the man after God’s heart, then it can outsmart, overpower, and overcome you too.

There are few pleasures sweeter than singing "It Is Well" and "All I Have Is Christ" with only a piano and 12,000 voices. #T4G18

Memorizing the Bible is not for extraordinary Christians, but for any Christian at war with their sin and in wonder of their Savior. youtube.com/watch?v=oRdTNTLO…

It’s right to cry out in grief when you’ve suffered loss, but know that the One you cry to is not distant and uninvolved, but, by grace, is present and active.

Guilty, vile and helpless we, spotless Lamb of God was He. Full atonement can it be? Hallelujah! What a Savior.

If you “give an answer” without “gentleness and reverence” you are twisting the Scriptures.

The Bible kind of rains on our parade when we start talking about "following our heart."

Remembering the details of God's miracles is not the same as honoring the God who performed them. #reminder #ssok17
