Itโ€™s funny how that circle happens.

Good, really good, hated, good again.

Itโ€™s like candy corn. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚

If your pastor has been credibly accused of plagiarism, removed from a church network, resigned instead of dealing with accountability and discipline after being found to have โ€œpatterns of persistent sinful behaviorโ€ by his elders.

I urge you to find another church.

My โ€œlife goalsโ€ have changed. I used to have a number that I wanted to preach to. I thought writing a book and touring to promote it would give me purpose.

These desires have dwindled down nearly to one:

โ€œMake much of Jesus!โ€

Most everything else is noise and distraction.

Paulโ€™s instructions for leaders in the Church:

Not argumentative
Kind to everyone
Able to teach
Not resentful
Able to humbly teach even those who disagree
Not mocking those who are spiritually blind, but gently guiding them towards the truth
Hope for the repentance of all

You realize Jesus isnโ€™t saying that right?

Itโ€™s a character in a story saying it.

Violence is never the way of Jesus. It is never the way forward.

I will continue to condemn any sort of political rhetoric that insights violence, and political violence of all kinds.

People are made in the image of God and must be treated as such.

Community isnโ€™t an accessory to faithโ€”itโ€™s the environment where faith breathes.

Because the Gospel wasnโ€™t written for a soloistโ€ฆ it was written for a choir!

Life is full of noise. Notifications. Responsibilities.
Itโ€™s easy to drift out of rhythm.

Worship combats. It recenters us to God, realigns our priorities, and re-stories from scarcity and fear to abundance and grace.

Worship invites us reclaim our rhythm.

There is an appropriate amount of discernment needed. However, be careful that as you cultivate critical thinking you don't become a critical person.

If we get more enjoyment out of critiquing than we do participating, we have become dangerously addicted to the drugs of snark and sarcasm.

The fact that there is more outrage in Christianity at a Cracker Barrel making chages, than there is at any number of actual atrocities around the world, shows that we have an absolute failure of discipleship!

Iโ€™m finding more and more we may leave harmful theological environments, but we keep all the worst of the attitudes and worldviews that went with them.

Itโ€™s like throwing out the baby and keeping the bath water.

Iโ€™m interested in what the deconstruction from the deconstruction brand will look like

Please be careful my friends, that you do not let your hearts get so hardened, that human life means very little to you.

This is not the way.

We need to be careful what we hold with clenched fists thinking we could never be wrong.

Whatโ€™s something you were almost certain about, but now you see you were mistaken.

If you canโ€™t think of anything, be careful that your pride isnโ€™t driving you more than truth is!!

Can someone show me where in scripture the idea that โ€œOld Testament lawsโ€ were โ€œresurrected with Jesusโ€?

This morning at CrossPoint 16 people were baptized into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Some utterly amazing stories of life transformation!

God is good!!!

Iโ€™m proud to be part of a theological heritage that was on the forefront of Womenโ€™s suffrage, fought for the abolition of slavery, and is consistently pro life because it recognizes the image of God in all.

I pray that we do not give up our birthright for a bowl of nasty porridge.

Yep, lots of horrible things have been done in the name of Christ.

We, of course, disagree on this point.

But I appreciate your input.

-We are created to Love God and be Loved by Him.

-We are created to Love others and live in community with them.

-We are created to serve others as an overflow of our Love for God and our Love for people!

-We are created to steward and enjoy His good Creation.

What else?
