Precisely. Congregationalism is anything but individualistic.

This reminder is very helpful

Stay Baptist, friends.

Brethren, if you are not theologians, you are in your pastorate just nothing at all. You may be fine rhetoricians… but without knowledge of the gospel, and the aptness to teach it, you are but a sounding brass and tinkling cymbal. - Charles Spurgeon

Hey @grok, based on ALL my tweets, I am: Which dictator? Which philosopher? Which fictional character? Which politician? Which religious figure? Which historical figure? Which artist?

This was assigned for my Spiritual Growth in Ministry class coming up in the fall. Really looking forward to reading it!

Thank you @RHB_Books for such a great deal on PvM! "God is living, and he is life and the source of life; and our Redeemer lives, and he is our life, who was given by the Father for this reason, that we may not perish, but have eternal life." - Petrus van Mastricht

Nothing should keep our minds busier on earth than this great reality: the Holy One of God was declared unholy, so that unholy sinners might stand unblemished before a holy God. - Mark Jones, Knowing Christ

[Christ’s] going to the cross seems to be a reverse of Eden… if Adam’s decision to ‘go to the tree’ would bring ruin to the human race, the resolve of the last Adam to ‘go to the tree’ would bring salvation to the human race. - Mark Jones

For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake - Phil. 1:29 “Granted” (charizo - Greek verb from the noun charis meaning grace or favor) Suffering is a gift of grace from God to the believer (Acts 5:41)

“All death can do to the believer is deliver him to Jesus.” John MacArthur 1939 - 2025

The ineffably holy Jesus became Jesus the sin-bearer, with all the sins of God’s people imputed to him on the cross. God laid upon Jesus our iniquity (Isa. 53:6), while he nevertheless believed, ‘He who vindicates me is near’ (Isa. 50:8). - Mark Jones, Knowing Christ

The struggle to live by faith in this world is not one unknown to Jesus. He remembers the arduous life of faith, and he sympathizes with those who engage in the same difficult, yet ultimately rewarding, path to the glorious life of sight. - Mark Jones, Knowing Christ

Your church shouldn’t take any Sundays off for holidays, but if they do, just be honest that you don’t want low attendance or can’t fill volunteer positions and don’t want to hold a lower key gathering. Don’t try to “spiritualize” it like it’s some beneficial thing

Do you not know this from of old, since man was placed on earth, that the exulting of the wicked is short, and the joy of the godless but for a moment? Job 20:4-5

All of history is moving toward one great goal, the white-hot worship of God and his Son among all the peoples of the earth. Missions is not that goal. It is the means. And for that reason it is the second greatest human activity in the world. - John Piper
