The best thing about me is that I'm accepted by God through the death and resurrection of His Beloved Son. I exist to know Jesus Christ and make Him known.
**Thread Incoming** Listened to #JesusIsKing by @kanyewest a few times. 10 quick thoughts: 1. I LOVE that the album is called “Jesus is King”. No better title for an album. God decided to flex His Son’s glory at the top of the charts and trending- for all to see.
Jesus 2020. Confederate Flag. Noose. For many unbelievers, when they hear “Christian”, these images come to mind. This form of syncretism is one of the biggest apologetic challenges facing the church today. We must be clear about what Christianity isn’t as we share what it is.
One of my favorite parts of this Kanye thing: People who hate both Kanye & the God that he’s praising and choose to mock and ridicule the album- They still have to say “Jesus is King” while doing so! 😂😂😂 #JesusIsKing
Any Christian who is thinking about publicly disagreeing with another believer should first read “Controversy” by John Newton. Imagine what Christian Twitter would be like if we all took heed to this wise counsel:👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾
On this day 21 years ago in 1999, I was converted through reading the gospel of John. In His sovereign grace & love, the Lord saved me. He took a Bible hater & turned him into a Jesus proclaimer. And He’s remained faithful all these years in spite of me. Thank You, Jesus!
If we’re truly “pro-life”, we understand that it applies from the womb to the schools to the streets to the prisons to the nursing home. When God created humanity in His image, He didn’t discriminate and He didn’t give it an expiration date.
Man, police officers have such a hard job! To make life or death judgment calls within split seconds knowing that whatever you do will be second guessed is not for everybody. I’m thankful for those officers that never make the news who protect & serve with honor & compassion.
“Conservative” and “Liberal” are political categories, not biblical ones. While there may be some overlap, neither fit 100% neatly into a biblical worldview.
6. Tbh, I was listening to #JesusIsKing in my car going to pick up my son and I wept. Ugly tears, y’all. Of thankfulness to the Lord. That He’s still in the business of saving. That He takes blasphemous lips and turns them into instruments for His praise.
The gospel is powerful enough to heal the infinite division between a Holy God and sinful humanity. So I have to believe that it’s powerful enough to heal the ethnic division between black, white & beyond. That truth keeps me going. Otherwise, I would have given up long ago.
