I’ve been reading Matt. 8 this week. I am continually astonished by v. 24, “And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But [Jesus] was asleep.” Are you drowning in the storm? Jesus is sovereign over it. Trust Him!

“Sin is not a human problem, sin is the human problem.” - Adam Harwood

Jesus calls us to be servants. But we only want to be spectators. In His parable of the talents, Jesus didn’t say, “Well done thou good and faithful spectator.” He said, “Well done thou good and faithful servant.”

“If you wish to be a leader, you will be frustrated, for very few people want to be led, but if you aim to be a servant, you will never be frustrated because people love to be served.” - Chris Moody

I look at Twitter daily. But the more I do the more I ask myself why. Twitter is the perfect picture of the depravity of man. It is a cesspool of wickedness. People are vile and vicious. Twitter leaves me, like Ezra, needing to mourn over our nation’s sin. Woe is us!

The stoning of Paul in Ch. 14 and what followed. In my early days as a believer, this was a very encouraging passage. To see him get up after being left for dead and to continue on mission in spite of it, is phenomenal courage. Only through the Holy Spirit can that happen.

Ministry last week: was completely humiliated and talked to in a way that no pastor should experience. Ministry this week: got to lead someone in prison to faith in Christ. My point: don’t get caught up in the highs and lows of ministry. Focus on our faithful Lord through it all.

What a joy it is to lead someone to faith in Christ! No matter how hard ministry may be, it will encourage your heart every time!

Baptist autonomy ≠ Christian autonomy.

Perfect example of what is wrong with the media. They are pushing the racial divid. Do better ⁦@APNews⁩

This is what Christianity looks like. When your own heart has been captured by God’s grace you want others to experience it as well, even when faced with the worse circumstances imaginable. This is simply beautiful.

Open my Twitter feed this morning and see this. Really @Twitter? Surely we can do better than this garbage.

The SBC is in shambles. We fight among ourselves. All the while, Satan laughs at us because our focus is no longer on the mission. The SBC is only useful as long as the mission is central. When that ceases to be, perhaps so should the SBC, at least in its current paradigm.

Wow. Way to ruin a classic superhero @DCComics.

Preached on opposition to Christianity the past two Sundays. Today I was told I’m not a brother and was also called a false witness…Makes sense.
