Your words are powerful. With kind and encouraging words, you can change a person’s day – or even their entire life.

Starters are a dime a dozen. Finishers are one in a million. ‘I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.’ - The Apostle Paul (2 Tim. 4:7) What does this mean to you in your walk?

I recently saw this: A fast-food restaurant messes up your order a dozen times and you still return. A pastor or local church messes up a few times and you leave the church and gossip for years. I fear we’re quick to leave and gossip rather than give feedback & contribution.

To be clear: When I reference the mistakes of pastors / churches I’m talking about minor mistakes (I.e. subpar sermon) NOT moral failures, abuse or systemic major issues.

For some, this is a joyful time of year. For others, this is a tearful time of year. As Christians, let’s follow Christs example and meet people right where they’re at!

Pastors & preachers: This is a great and challenging thread.
Pastors that teach rich theology in an understandable way will never lack an audience. Many pastors either: • teach deep theology over people’s head OR • assume people aren’t interested in theology and steer away from it. 🧵 Here are 5 things that can distinguish you:

A church member recently asked me, “What’s the hardest part about being a pastor?” My answer: Walking with people through a major life issue only for them to leave the church at some point over something petty, often without ever talking to you. STORY 👇🏼

News flash: A small church ≠ a bad church. Just because they don’t have fancy lights or a writing team for their pastor doesn’t mean there aren’t faithful pastors teaching faithful people.

It takes a big effort to live an undistracted life. Do the work. Darkness doesn’t want to destroy you; it wants to distract you. Don't give in. Faith, kindness, purpose and people. Dwell on these.

When Jesus invites us on an adventure, He shapes who we become with what happens along the way.

‘We live in a culture that swings between legalism and licentiousness. We must not miss the whole point of The Gospel if we look for loopholes!’ - @joelgorveatte

We’re following a God we can’t see, for a lifetime we can’t measure, to an eternity we can’t comprehend, because of grace we didn’t earn. Faith isn’t a bunch of facts.

I think a father’s job, when it’s done best, is to get down on both knees, lean over his children’s lives, and whisper, ‘Where do you want to go?’ Every day God invites us on the same kind of adventure. It’s not a trip where He sends us a rigid itinerary, He simply invites us.

A battery can’t put out what it doesn’t have. A tree can’t produce when it hasn’t grown down and deep. We can’t thrive without connecting in a deep way with our Creator! – at Moncton, New Brunswick
