A wise man once wrote, “the master plan of evangelism is discipleship”.

I’m all for innovation (churches that don’t innovate die). But I’ve never understood why churches talk about new strategies for reaching people before they have a strategy for equipping their people to make disciples. Seems like putting the cart before the horse



At the risk of you ending our friendship... you’re on a great path! Keep going. It just gets better and better.

I am currently 14 episodes into The West Wing. If you knew about The West Wing during our friendship and had not told me about its glory, I would like to take this opportunity to end our friendship. Thank you, goodnight.



If nothing else, COVID has given pastors a glimpse into how hard their media, tech, and social media teams work year round to make things happen. You folks are the unsung heros! Keep up the good work! It’s no longer unnoticed!


I’d like to take this time to publicly thank @brifrye for introducing me to zoom a full 3 years before my whole church would depend on it. You’re the real MVP Frye.


I’m convinced... the enemy must love Christian Twitter.

Appreciate this important statement from SBC president J. D. Greear (3 parts)

Southern Baptists unwaveringly affirm God’s complementary design for gender in the church. As the #BFM2000 states, “While both men and women are gifted for service in the church, the office of pastor is limited to men as qualified by Scripture.” While... 1/3

Jesus willingly met the needs of a lot of really needy people. That’s really convicting.


“The university is a clear-cut fulcrum with which to move the world. The church can render no greater service, both to itself and to the cause of the gospel, than to try to recapture the universities for Christ. More potently than by any other means...” sendinstitute.org/most-strategic…

The reports of the conditions for migrant children at the border should shock all of our consciences. Those created in the image of God should be treated with dignity and compassion, especially those seeking refuge from violence back home. We can do better than this.

Government moves most of the children out of a Texas Border Patrol station after AP report that more than 300 children were held there in perilous conditions. Thirty children remain at the facility. apne.ws/CYt0BG4

The good news: This is a problem local churches can solve. One of the first steps is to mobilize college students. That's what @NAMB_SBC's "Go2" is all about. Give us 2 years and we'll change the world! namb.net/stories_of_mis…

🚨 Both the @NAMB_SBC and @IMB_SBC annual reports for #SBC19 say they have the capacity to send more church planters and missionaries, but not enough qualified candidates to fill the pipeline.



Wow...tragic and terrible news. Prayers of comfort and peace for the rest of their family.

The Auburn Family is devastated by the tragic passing of Rod and Paula Bramblett. 🙏🙏

My man @JacobMFowler and the Brooks Lions won the ‘ship tonight!!!! Congrats brother! Few have given what you have over the past few years which is why you’re holding the trophy tonight. Well earned and much deserved!!!


Tiger’s comeback is unreal, but let’s talk about the comeback of the mock-turtleneck he sported all week. If he manages to bring that back it will be his greatest achievement.
