To eat, to breathe to beget Is this all there is Chance configuration of atom against atom of god against god I cannot believe it. Come, Christian Triune God who lives, Here am I Shake the world again. - Francis A. Schaeffer
Fear God and you’ll preach to transform people, fear people and you’ll preach to transform God.
I often think about this ministry model from Eugene Peterson’s 'Working the Angles'. There’s more to ministry, but this framework captures the heart of it.
This is still one of my favorite works on the history of baptism. Many are usually surprised to learn about Everett Ferguson’s conclusions… -->

Just replaced an outdoor outlet without catching the house on fire.
C.S. Lewis' brilliant insight on why little decisions matter so much. Every movement toward either good or evil, however tiny in itself, rumbles onward beyond itself. The encouragement here is: tiny steps of obedience are worth it!
Been reading through the first two books of the Space Trilogy with our small group. Even better than I remember. Such a good theme of true pleasure and joy in these books. True pleasure if not hedonism. True pleasure comes in the ability to reflect on the thing’s goodness.
"An effective disability ministry begins with a humble attitude and a willingness to make adjustments." A great review by Ethan Holsteen of @SandraPeoples' new book, 'Accessible Church' thegospelcoalition.org/reviews/acessi…
