A huge part of preaching is just saying what people already know, but emphatically. In a distracting, uncertain world, our souls need the “thus saith the Lord”-ness of preaching.

The goal of ministry isn’t to keep people busy in church activities.
The goal is to equip people to become more like Christ and live out their purpose as part of the body of Christ.

Don’t buy into the lie that “things will slow down soon.”
Establish Sabbath and, if applicable, your role as a spouse and parent as priorities. After all, the greatest gift you can give those that you lead is your own healthy soul.

Very encouraged at #SBC21 to see emerging young leaders both male/female who pursue mission and Gods Words. Convictional and compassionate. From every tribe and tongue —our future is bright

Our updated motion on the investigation of the Executive Committee’s mishandling of sexual abuse cases. Glad to be standing with @DGrantGaines in this important moment.

Hear me clearly…Danny Akin & Russell Moore made some additional Black friends. They listened to & learned from them. They used their power & influence to raise awareness & advocate for underrepresented groups. It must be said, many of their critics are simply churchgoing racists

Just as Abraham Lincoln & Martin Luther King were needed at critical junctures in our nation’s history, after listening to Ed Litton in two presentations/Q&A sessions, I’m convinced he is needed at this juncture in SBC history. Credible history/leadership/heart on race issues. – at Arlington, TX

Step one in relational evangelism: learn the names of your neighbors and their children. Draw a map of your street and see how many you know.

Biblical Christianity will seem "centrist" at times because it will critique the ideologies of both the Left and the Right. But it's not politically "centrist." It's politically transcendent. It's a category by itself. It's the ethics of a kingdom that's not of this world.
