Compassion precedes mercy (Lk 10:33). Mercy is not just feeling something it is doing something (v.34). Mercy often means sacrifice (v.35).
Putting our faith in Christ is not about trying harder; it means transferring our trust away from ourselves and resting in him.
“God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.” -C.S. Lewis
Sitting under faithful preaching of the Word of God, week after week, is the best counseling we can receive.
Yes & Amen!
Our public witness as Christians should make people say, “look at the power of their love,” not “look at how much they love power.”
This is Ruth Elizabeth Whitfield, an 86yo Black grandmother killed in yesterday’s mass shooting in Buffalo. She was her husband’s primary caretaker and was coming back from visiting him in a nursing home when a sick, depraved white supremacist brutally murdered her and 9 others.
“It is not your business to succeed, but to do right; when you have done so, the rest lies with God." -C.S. Lewis
Your story builds. Keep living. You’ll be able to see the masterful providence of God in the rear view mirror. What seems like your worst season might end up being your best season.

Contextualization is not giving people what they want to hear. It is giving people God's answers (which they will not want to hear)--but to questions their culture and their hearts are asking but for which they can't find answers, all in language they understand.
Our God is Immutable—the presence of sin changed everything except for the character of our God (Genesis 3:8-9).
“Hope has two beautiful daughters; their names are Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are.” ~ St. Augustine of Hippo
“Faith is Hope remembered; Hope is Faith revealed”
“Christians, your public witness must be more than simply a bitter or fearful response to your opponents. We have a much stronger motive and objective for engaging the politics. Don’t allow your opponent to control and dim your witness.” -@JustinEGiboney #AND2020
Lord God, may the insufficiencies of this world, lead us to the sufficiency of the Savior, Jesus the Christ.
Last night, we celebrated the life & legacy of MLK. S/O to @JemarTisby and @LisaVFields for blessing our students and ministry last night!
Like a surgeon, true friends only cut you in order to heal you.
Our students were blessed by @ANDCampPrez last week @ Princeton. Thankful for @AndCampaign & your love for Jesus.
If you want to know the true character of a man, give him power; if you want to know the true integrity of a man, limit his power #Phil2:5-8
