I’m thankful the God orders our steps and places in relationship with excellent leaders who inspire, encourage and challenge us- like my dear Bishop and friend @DavidERamirez
What a small world. We stopped in Amsterdam in our way to Israel and there he was, my good friend of thirty years, Dr. Jonathan Augustine. Twenty- nine years serving as CoGWM missionary in Europe. He is one of our best global leader and church planter strategist. #coghq #cogdoe

I’ve lived long enough to know what I want out of life. My aim is to live & love in imitation of Jesus. Though I daily fail, I’m resolute in the pursuit. It is not that I do not care what you think or what that looks like to you. It’s that I care incomparably more what He thinks.

Our natural tendency is to watch the world from behind the windows of [our] cultural home and to act as if people from other ethnicities have something special about them,but [our] home is normal. Awareness means the discovery that there is no normal position in cultural matters.

Great challenge for all fans of @Alyssa_Milano activism in Georgia from the ultimate abortion insider, former Planned Parenthood Director who believed it was about women’s rights until she saw it from the inside. Take the dare. GO SEE @UnplannedMovie
I’m hoping that @Alyssa_Milano will muster up the courage to go see the @UnplannedMovie. If you are willing to advocate for abortion, but unwilling to actually see what you support, then you and your tiny bun really have no relevancy in this conversation.

#whatshesaw...has already changed everything. Have you seen #UnPlanned this weekend?
“Dumbo’ Disappoints, @UnplannedMovie Surprises” Despite ad blocking on nearly all networks, black-out from “mainstream” media, Twitter suspension & more... @AbbyJohnson’s story of transformation from Planned Parenthood director to pro-life is captivating hearts everywhere

Pray for those affected by flooding in Nebraska @jjaugustine
Hundreds of people were evacuated from their homes in Nebraska and Iowa as levees succumbed to the rush of water. wave3.com/2019/03/17/dead-mi…

I believe in the transforming power of the cross. I believe people can change. I believe strongholds that have compromised the witness of the church for centuries can be broken in this generation & not because of us but because it seems utterly impossible & God likes those odds.

A shortcoming of our current society is we don't reason with the other side, we only denounce. Where is the space to do this?

There is only one proper adjective to describe people that are celebrating the fact that they can kill an infant at 9 months in the womb, and that is satanic. You quite literally need God if you see nothing problematic about slaughtering babies.

The composition of clay requires that to shape it you must apply water and pressure. Spinning it on a wheel accelerates the formation. God knows what you are made of...don’t fight the process.

Faith is not a formula. Being with God is a dynamic relationship with the One (there is no one and nothing like Him)...if we can explain it all it is no longer God we are worshipping

If your god never disagrees with you, you might just be worshiping an idealized version of yourself.

"Niceness" is a counterfeit of meekness or gentleness. The nice person always compliments, never disagrees because he is unwilling to risk his reputation for the sake of the good by opposing with anger what is evil.

In His eternal plan, God reserved you a place. Claim it, fill it...but remember His plan is not a parking lot.

I don't think Christianity spread like wildfire because the first Christians were always angry with the empire or because they were excellent critics of an insane emperor. It spread like wildfire because they proclaimed JOY & HOPE & FREEDOM even when the empire set them on fire.
