Pastor at Crosspoint Community Church. Passionate defender of Truth, Beauty, and Candy Corn. Hates meatloaf and trolls and endless meetings! Minimally infamous.
In HS my youth pastor abused a girl in my youth group. My dad (the lead pastor) found out. The YP was fired and reported to authorities. He lost his credentials and went to jail.
That’s it. That’s the whole story. That’s how these stories should end. Coverups are not ok.
Hey, Miss @BethMooreLPM I was at Chick-fil-A today, and got really excited because they had mac & cheese and I was gonna post it here because I thought that was one of the things they discontinued that you missed.
And then I remembered you were mad about the coleslaw. Welp…
When Jesus tells us to love our neighbor, our instinct is to ask, “But who IS my neighbor?”
His answer?
The one who disagrees politically and theologically.
The one who differs racially and nationalistically.
The one who you may very well consider an enemy.
Joke or not, trolling or not: Trump’s post depicting himself as Christ is Blasphemous.
God will not be mocked my friends. Of that I am sure. And there is only one worthy of your ultimate loyalty, trust, and adoration.
Jesus. Only Jesus. Always Jesus.
Christian history makes this clear:
You can serve Caesar or Jesus, Ares or Yahweh, Babylon or the New Jerusalem, not both.
Each demands your allegiance. One offers power and bloodlust; the other freedom and peace.
We all choose who we serve.
Jesus. Only Jesus. Always Jesus.
God,
You are the One who calms the raging nations and brings peace.
Cover innocents with Your wings, O Lord, that beneath they may find safety.
Teach us to turn from evil and to do good, to seek peace, trusting in Your justice that lifts up the humble and humbles the proud.
“God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear.” Psalm 46:1–2
In the darkness of trouble he will most surely be found.
Reach out and there he is.
Tweeted this a while back… evergreen.
“Imagine living in a fantasy world where John Piper is a self righteous virtue signaler, Tim Keller is a leftist liberal, and Beth Moore is a sinful Jezebel...
But Donald Trump is gonna save America. 😳”
As Christians, we don’t win by picking up the enemy’s weapons.
When we answer lies with lies or confuse cruelty for convictions; we may feel victorious, but we’re being shaped by what desires to destroy us.
The ONLY way forward is the way of Jesus.
Only Jesus. Always Jesus.
Me 3 out of 4 years :
Me during Winter Olympics: That Salchow was sloppy… I don’t think she got a full rotation on the Lutz…. You gotta be careful on a Mohawk like that, easy to get caught up on the back of the edge there especially during a lift.
Could not be prouder of our congregation. They are the most selfless, generous, joyfully-sacrificial givers I’ve ever seen.
Thank you for making a difference in our community. And for being the type of church every pastor dreams of serving!!
2000 individual’s lives changed!
One of the lies that current culture is forming within us is that being loud is the same as being faithful.
I’m coming to beliveve that courage looks like staying patient, kind, and gentle in a system that rewards rage and anger.
Habakkuk reminds us that there is a difference between Faithful Doubt and Faithless Cynicism.
Faithful doubt stays in the conversation.
Cynicism leaves and calls it “wisdom.”
Applause is a drug.
And When you’re young in ministry, it’s easy to get addicted.
The shift from “I need God” to “God needs me” is slow and subtle.
But inevitable if we don’t guard our hearts.
Only one is worthy of worship.
It’s Not me. Or you.
It’s Jesus.
Only Jesus. Always.
Habakkuk reminds us that Babylon is never a surprise villain. They are always admired before they are feared.
The seeds of judgment are most often planted during a season of pride.
