I scoffed at God's Word and said it had errors. I had never read it. When I opened the Old Testament, I met God. When I read the New Testament, I met Jesus. The Bible shined a light on my sin, and showed me the light of the world who takes away sin. The Word led me to Jesus.

Righteousness is what Jesus provides. It's the life of perfect obedience that he lived. Perfect action, thought, word, and feeling. Unbroken communion with God. Righteousness is the life of Christ. It is Jesus. We hunger and thirst for the presence of the all-satisfying God.

May the Lord raise up pastors who model prayer and godliness instead of just admitting that they don’t spend much time in prayer. Confession of a lack of spiritual disciplines isn’t a sign of humility but of immaturity.

The key to rejoicing in suffering is seeing the purpose in it. There is no suffering that a believer in Jesus experiences that has no purpose. God, our loving Father, intends all of our suffering to move us toward Jesus, to reflect Jesus, and to conform us to the image of Jesus.

Jesus isn't just the source of life. He is the life! He isn't just the source of wealth. He is the wealth! He isn't just the source of prosperity. He is the prosperity! Any theology that stops short of receiving all that God is for us in Jesus is an inferior theology. #Jesusisall

What was God doing for all eternity before there was a universe? He was enjoying the glory that was seen in his son. He was delighting in God. God created the universe to share his glory. #jonathanedwards #trinitariantheology #theologyofjoy

Pray for the Kababish in Sudan. The Kababish are a loose tribal confederation of Arabic people of mixed origins who live in a region of desert scrubland. Pray that the gift of life will draw many from this people group to worshipping God only. Joshua project #missions #Jesus

For God. For Jesus. Expect great things of Jesus. Attempt great things for Jesus. By the Holy Spirit. These are the most famous words that the father of modern missions spoke. May the next generation take these up and go! #gospelofJesus #missions #theheartofGodforthenations

#Pray for the Pomak in Greece. The name Pomak means, "people who have suffered." The Pomaks in Greece are virtually all Muslim, and their religion makes up an integral part of their ethnic identity. Pray that they meet the Jesus who suffered. Joshua Project #missions
