“So Peter opened his mouth and said: ‘Truly I understand that God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.’” Acts 10:34–35

“For our boast is this, the testimony of our conscience, that we behaved in the world with simplicity and godly sincerity, not by earthly wisdom but by the grace of God, and supremely so toward you.” 2 Corinthians 1:12

“Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus.” Acts 3:19-20

This is one of my all time favorite quotes from Teddy Roosevelt, "The man in the arena." It reminds me that our Christian duty is not to sit on the sidelines and play it safe. Faithful men and women choose to step into the arena and lay down their lives for what we believe.

“It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.” Hebrews 12:7–8

My @KingsDomain333 talk is now available "The lesson of the last 20 years is that conservative Bible believing Christians have the right arguments but no will to win. And the lesson for the next 20 yrs is that right arguments alone won't be enough to get the job done." Links👇

“For the good hand of his God was on him. For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the Lord, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel.” From Ezra 7

Christ, in John 18:37: “For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.”

Hidden sins can destroy a movement: " You wanna go conquer something and you've got hidden sins? God will not be with you. Harboring secret sin will ruin everything. So I remember years ago when I was at Bethlehem, one of my colleagues, whenever we would have prayer meetings for…

I have been going to church for all 33 years of my life, and I've never heard the girls and women being taught this. And we wonder why churches and society in the west is in the mess it is in today. I praise God for the jewel I found in the midst of all this mess. We are raising…

This excellent @joe_rigney talk (w Q&A) at the King's Domain conference is now available "We're living in the ruins of Western civilization and our task is to get on the wall and rebuild the walls of Jerusalem with a sword in one hand and a shovel in the other." Links 👇

“In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” From John 16:33

Wonderful description of King Jehoshaphat: “His heart was courageous in the ways of the Lord. And furthermore, he took the high places and the Asherim out of Judah.” 2 Chronicles 17:6

My reflections on 2025 SBC convention in Dallas just dropped at @BaptistLeaders "There are four main groups in the SBC: 1) the Platform, 2) the Reformers, 3) the Loyalists, and 4) the Normies. All four groups have their own agendas, which guide their actions." Link 👇

This documentary is very well done and tells the story of a growing trend in the church where larger churches target resource rich yet vulnerable, struggling congregations. Gigachurches baptize the practice by calling it "kingdom growth," but in reality its a hostile takeover…

My church will vote on our annual budget in a couple of weeks. I wish I could report good news from the SBC convention. I came to Dallas eagerly expecting to return home afterwards and urge my church to increase our SBC financial commitments across the board. I wish I could…

“Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live.’” John 11:25

“He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.” John 10:12–13

Pastor Jeff Durbin (@PastorNinja) says a loser eschatology produces a loser church. But scripture teaches God's Kingdom is like a seed that grows slowly and gradually over a long period of time. Incredible message. Links to full message plus his Q&A session in replies

I'm going on a prayer retreat for the next two days, asking God's direction for my church @ctkcincy I'll be praying through a helpful vision exercise I learned years ago that asks seven questions: 1. Why does our church exist? 2. Who are we looking to reach? 3. What are our…
