The great Scottish divine Thomas Halyburton on his death bed, 1712, was "greatly concerned for Scotland, lest a dry, formal, and merely rational religion should prevail." One of his last prayers was thus-
"The operations of the Spirit of God are ridiculed in this day, but it we take away the operations and influences of the Spirit of God in religion, I know not what is left. O! that this generation would awake to seek after the quickening influences of the Spirit. O! for a day of the downpouring of the Spirit from on high!"

This is absolutely horrific. 48%.
May the Lord have mercy on us all.

Boys and young men are in crisis.

- 98% of the NI prison pop are male
- 97% of paramilitary assaults are on males

A pastor's job is not to change people, hold their broken lives together, or activate their wills to act.
His job is to prayerfully bring God's Word to bear upon their lives while trusting the Holy Spirit to make them (and him) not just hearers but doers of it.

🧵 of posts where people are (re-)considering faith after recent events. Let me know what I should add…
Let’s start with @Glinner whose free speech cost him his freedom a fortnight ago, how does #ripcharliekirk impact him?
Now I want to read CS Lewis and other Christian writers. (#ripcharliekirk) Chesterton too if one can wave the smell of his then-fashionable (and fashionable again!) antisemitism off the pages

“Last month … in one infamous week, this House authorised the killing of unborn children … & … the killing of the elderly & disabled … We gave our consent to the greatest crime: the killing of the weak and most defenceless human beings. It was a great sin.”

8 mentoring/discipling questions you can use when meeting with Christians 1-1 or in a small group:
1. Are you reading your Bible? What are you learning? Is there anything you don’t understand? (Get him on a Bible reading plan for accountability & consistency.)
2. How's your prayer life? Has God answered any of your prayers this week? Recently?
3. Where is God showing you sin in your life? Where do you need to grow? What are some temptations you’re facing? What part of your old life do you feel is hardest to leave behind? What do you want to see changed? Let's pray for this right now.
4. Where has your walk with Christ been evident this week? For example, where have you seen victory over sin? Faith in the midst of trials?
5. Have you shared the gospel with anyone this week? Who are some people in your life you’d like to see saved? What are some ways to see this happen?
6. What's the most challenging thing in your life this week? Recently? Let's pray about it right now.
7. How are your relationships with others going? At work, in the home, on social media, in the community?
8. Where do you see yourself in 6 months? 12 months? 5 years? What are your spiritual, family, & material goals? How can you get there?
J.M. Boice on our adoption:
Having justified us, God could still have left us on a much inferior level of status and privilege. Instead, he took us into his own family giving us the status and privilege of daughters and sons.
Praise God.

On the night of Jesus’s arrest, Peter was willing to kill for him but not to die for him.
LESSON: There’s a type of counterfeit faithfulness that’s willing to “kill” for Christ, but not willing to die for him.

What do the Puritans, Tozer, Edwards, MLJ, Ravenhill, EM Bounds, Whitefield, & Spurgeon all have in common? They confront us with these questions:
Is God real to you?
Is your Christian experience a list of orthodox doctrines, or a living relationship with God?
Do you have a firsthand experience with Him, or a secondhand experience through others?
Is your heart hungering and thirsting after personal holiness?
Have you been born again? Are you a new creation?

If any man thinks ill of you, do not be angry with him, for you are worse than he thinks you to be.

Prayer grows where prayer is not the object of contemplation, but God.
Talk to me about prayer, and my prayer life remains stubbornly unmoved.
Show me God, and prayer ignites unbidden.
