*Good News for Midlife* coming this November! Preorder now: amazon.com/Good-News-Midlife…
Now live! The 5-day *Good News for Midlife* reading plan on @YouVersion's Bible app bible.us/r/KcB
Jesus' blood does not constitute a down payment toward some legalistic layaway plan. There are no more payments to be made, and there is no purgatory to work off the balance. "It is finished."
Catholics, reminder:
You can free a soul from purgatory every day this week.
From Nov 1–8, the Church grants a plenary indulgence, applicable to the souls in purgatory, each day you:
1. Visit a cemetery and pray for the dead (even silently)
2. Go to confession (within about 20 days before or after)
3. Receive Holy Communion
4. Pray for the Pope's intentions (an Our Father and Hail Mary is enough)
5. Be detached from all sin, even venial
Today only (All Souls Day): you can also gain one by visiting a church and praying the Our Father and the Creed.
One confession covers the whole week. Communion and the prayer for the Pope are needed for each day's indulgence.
And if you're not fully detached from sin, you still gain a partial indulgence. So go anyway.
Repost this to spread the word. The souls in purgatory need our help.
“Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will hold on to you with my righteous right hand.” - Isaiah 41:10 CSB
The question before every church leader when it comes to worship and ministry: Just how much weight can the gospel carry?
If your pastor didn’t mention yesterday that my new book *Good News for Midlife* comes out next week, find a new church.
“For God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you demonstrated for his name by serving the saints — and by continuing to serve them.” - Hebrews 6:10 CSB
Even if you’re not a middle-aged man, you know a middle-aged man, and this book would make an excellent gift for them. Take it from me — I wrote it! sites.prh.com/goodnewsformid…
A sermon is NOT:
- a commentary
- a lecture
- a pep-talk
- a TED talk
- a therapy session
A sermon IS:
- a declaration from the text
- an application from the text
- a proclamation (of the gospel) from the text
“So Jared’s life lasted 962 years; then he died.” - Genesis 5:20 CSB // A fitting read on one’s birthday.
Would love to see the stats for passes thrown in front of the line of scrimmage
“But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, attested by the Law and the Prophets. The righteousness of God is through faith in Jesus Christ, to all who believe, since there is no distinction.” - Romans 3:21-22 CSB
It’s been a decent year for “dudes being dudes” movies. Adding this one to the list with *Heart of the Beast* and *Whalefall.* Heck, throw *Project Hail Mary* in there too.
