This is an unpopular opinion but most of the whining about "how much work kids are" comes from spiritually broken people Yes they take time & energy but they're not a drain. You just adapt your life to them They're a burden on your life only if you resist how they transform it
"If you want to be a respected advisor concerning a somewhat technical field that prepares people for death — that’s a life insurance salesman, not a pastor." @jrwhitehead
When I come in the presence of my blessed Savior, I will bow at His nail-scarred feet I will thank Him for dying and paying the pardon For a sinner, condemned and unclean By the blood of the Lamb, I Made it Through youtube.com/watch?v=2f0U8f…
Most people waste their energy. They take four times longer to do simple things than necessary. Not because they are lazy, but because they never learned how to be efficient. Nobody taught them.

I can’t help but think life was better when a man could easily find Adrian Rogers and Southern Gospel on the radio. Yeah, yeah, they’re available on a smartphone. But they were better on AM/FM stations.

Surround yourself with men who have a high brilliance:ego ratio, and follow them.
Nobody is crucifying Tony Robbins. “Comer’s gospel has no offense. Not to say we need to be intentionally provocative. But he sanitizes it. It would never provoke the violent opposition that the martyrdom of the early church endured, and, more importantly, the crucifixion of…
Is John Mark Comer’s Practicing the Way the future of evangelical formation or just Emergent 2.0? @tyler_austin55 joins me to talk spiritual disciplines, ecclesiology, and formation without theology. youtu.be/XZV7dQtCGvM
Hey @grok, based on ALL my tweets, I am: Which dictator? Which theologian? Which philosopher? Which fictional character? Which politician? Which religious figure? Which historical figure? Which artist?
Leno, Letterman, Conan, and Jimmy Fallon are funny. Colbert isn’t even amusing. Seems like a pretty big job requirement for hosting a Late Night show, but then again, what do I know about show business?
Your marriage is the most important investment you'll make. More than your career. More than your portfolio. More than your reputation. Andy Byron had all three. Now he has none. That's what an affair actually costs.
Your spouse is your biggest asset. They believe in you when you don't believe in yourself. They talk you off the ledge when life feels hard. They celebrate your wins harder than you do. That's why married men earn more. That's what Andy gave up.
No one in this neighborhood wanted my home security system Until a mysterious intruder broke into all their homes last week Now they're all calling me and BEGGING to give me money Lesson: Create your own luck
Can we all agree that the casual t-shirt & jeans-clad, joke-cracking, irreverent pastor trend has gone on for far too long, and we would all benefit from seeing qualified men, appropriately dressed and behaving with gravity, maturity, and sobriety behind the pulpit once again?
Shows get canceled for poor ratings all the time. Perhaps Mr. Colbert should have tried to be funny, like his predecessor.
CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.
