"We are not building God's kingdom. He is building his kingdom, and we are praying for the privilege of being involved" (Francis Schaeffer). Love this quote. Reminds me that the pressure is off. Ministry, like the Christian life, flows from looking to Christ.

Something I’m chewing on: I have long thought of Sabbath as an opportunity to cease from PRODUCING, but it also has a history of ceasing from CONSUMING. In our culture of consumerism, that aspect of Sabbath seems pretty significant.

I wonder how the church today might be different if we had inherited and absorbed Goodwin on God's heart to the degree that we had inherited and absorbed Luther on justification and Calvin on election.

The review of @daneortlund’s Gentle and Lowly is an example of why we needed Gentle and Lowly. When this book is explained as “near blasphemous” and suborthodox, can we please stop listening to this group as authorities of what is “good theology”? gty.org/library/blog/B210315

Rom. 12:15 says ‘weep with those who weep’ not ‘justify why you aren’t weeping’ or ‘correct those who weep.’ To weep with, we need to feel the pain. To feel the pain, we need to understand. To understand, we need to be informed. To be informed, we need to listen/read. And fast.

Crash-ball, pod rugby taught at schools is destroying the game in SA. They don't get taught spacial awareness and decision making skills.
