Here are some of my favorite tweets from the last few weeks.  This is one of the blessings of social media where we can hear the gospel from people all over the world. If you like the tweet, go and follow the person on Twitter. If the story of the Bible is about how God saves sinners by the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, then our sermons should conclude with trusting in Christ alone as our final and ultimate application. Without Christ, all the commands and promises mean nothing. Christ Alone! @jonmoffitt Jesus showed what generosity looks like when He gave His life to save us. Because of Him, we can be generous too. #thegospelprojectkids In Christ, there are no "have to's" on your to do list for today. Compelled by His love they are all "get to's." @AaronBublitz

If you like the tweet, go and follow the person on Twitter. Those desperately clinging to Christ for His grace have not the time or energy to compare themselves to others. For they feel as if they are the worst of all sinners and have no righteousness to boast of. The law reminds us of God’s demands and the gospel of God’s grace! @jonmoffitt We come not to the Father’s house to gain acceptance, but to rejoice and be refreshed in our eternally declared acceptance in Christ Jesus. Come, see what the Lord has done. Come, eat and drink to have your faith strengthened. Come, rest in His presence. Love Sundays!!! @jonmoffitt The Holy Spirit changes the way we think and live so we can love one another as God has loved us. #thegospelprojectkids May our focus be our “awe of You” and not what we “ought to do.” @BenjiMa...

Each year, my Christmas list includes lots of books.  So, at the start of each year, I like to share the new books that I received.  Here is one of my new books for 2019:

If you like the tweet, go and follow the person on Twitter. By sheer grace and his Spirit’s sovereign power, the Lord has launched a new-creation project to reclaim, revivify, and re-create covenant-breakers into covenant-keepers... (Dennis E. Johnson) "It is finished.” There’s nothing more to be done, concerning our salvation. Once and for all, perfectly and fully, we have been reconciled to God. The Just died for the unjust, the Beautiful One for the broken ones, the Lamb of God for the rebels from God. # ThankYouJesus @ScottyWardSmith The cross is a symbol of torture, cruelty, blood and death. Jesus turns it into the perfect display of a scandalous, unmerited love. @rjgrune Jesus, because you were fully forsaken, we are forever forgiven. Because you exhausted God's judgment against our great unrighte...

If you like the tweet, go and follow the person on Twitter. It is not that Grace justifies and the law sanctifies; it is all of Grace. (Jack Miller) In Christ, there is nowhere you can go to get away from being known...and loved...and defended...and sought by the Spirit of God. @shawnbreker We should not obey to gain our assurance, but because of it. We are called to emphasize what has been DONE for us to so we can find our motivation for what we must DO.  @jonmoffitt   The more you look for your faith, the harder it will be to find. This is because faith is based on knowledge and trust. That’s why, whatever the circumstance, it is so important to remind yourself over and over again who God is and to trust him to carry you through. (Jack Miller)   Whenever I start focusing too much on what I ...

If you like the tweet, go and follow the person on Twitter. He wants you to walk in love, but he wants you to see that love is found in his Son. Faith looks away from self to the cross and to Christ and what the Father has done. When you look to Jesus, a holy love spreads through your life. (Jack Miller)  I am chosen, not forsaken. I am who You say I am. You are for me, not against me. I am who You say I am. @EvanHeadrick Faith is not interested in faith. How big it is, how little it is. How strong it is, how weak. Faith is not about itself. It's about Christ. @birdchadlouis When Jesus said “it is finished” from the cross, it means that He was the perfect sacrifice for our sins AND He perfectly fulfilled and obeyed the law in our place. @Ryan_Haskins Nothing matters more than justification by Christ ...

Here are some of my favorite tweets from the last few weeks.  This is one of the blessings of social media where we can hear the gospel from people all over the world. If you like the tweet, go and follow the person on Twitter. In the story of the Good Samaritan, we are the ones stripped, beaten, and robbed. We are the one passed by the Law believed to be beyond saving. It is Christ who is the Good Samaritan. @GospelEconomist  As sinful humans, we are adept at taking what God gives as gift and making it into a work. Nowhere is this made more evident than in the universally misunderstood doctrine of sanctification. @RyanCouch If you remove the weight of the law, then there is no way to run after grace because you feel you can achieve law. @jonmoffitt Implicit in the claim of Christ’s centrality to scripture is that Christ is for you. Yes, you. He’s not for some imaginary, perfect person. Christ is for you. @GospelEconomist If we walk away from a sermon thinking “It’s ...

If you like the tweet, go and follow the person on Twitter.  Do you know why there are 1000 new self-help books every year? It's bc they don't work. We keep looking for answer within us @jaredcwilson The Law cannot save, sustain, or sanctify you. Only the gospel can. @jonmoffitt Maturing as a Christian means that you feel your need for Christ more desperately than you did the day before. @thejesslou don't forget that in Jesus, you are highly esteemed. Don't forget that in Jesus, with you the father is well pleased. @scottsauls this writer had done what too many of our disciplers do. He turned gospel into law; he took news and turned it into advice. @jaredcwilson We have turned incarnation into a once-a-year precious moment, parables into moralistic fables, miracles into production values @jare...

If you like the tweet, go and follow the person on Twitter.  From the way you talk about your faith, do people get the impression that Jesus is great, or that you are? @jaredcwilson  The only real comfort from and silencer of shame is what the King of Creation says about me. @ScottyWardSmith Jesus died for your sins...including your cold & distant heart towards Him. We need grace to bring us home, not law. Unconditional grace! @jonmoffitt What draws people to Christ aren't your multitudinous rules & straitlaced life but the 1 way love of Jesus who loves to save/welcome sinners @DrSteveWBrown None of our efforts at obedience or morality can make us more saved, holy, or fit for Heaven, or complete than we already are in Christ.-OW @thejesslou Sanctification is God's work. He changes us as ...

This is a now a regular feature on the blog.  Usually on Mondays, I get caught up on my favorite podcasts and this usually results in a lot of tweeting on that day.  However, if you are at work and not checking Twitter during that time, you might miss some of the great truth being shared by others.  So, I am sharing some of best tweets from the previous week which include great wisdom and truth. May we never think that pondering the Almighty's love is only for beginners. @ElyseFitz Keep giving each other the gospel. Articulate it, explain it, pull it apart--don't let it just become a word. @jonmoffitt In Christ, it's already been done. So now, doing can just be a response to already being. @mockingbirdnyc in the immediate aftermath of a broken experience, we need his presence not a prescription. @mattbheard I'm moving from a prayer life to a praying life. Praying is affected by how much I need Christ for all of life. @cbc_theocast God's plan is not to st...

" We will know them by their fruit.." looks less like your fruit of your moralistic effort..and more like the fruit of the Spirit...@ShaunShahan  When we read the Bible, observe the faithfulness of God toward sinners instead of finding tips to help our feeble attempts at faithfulness. @jonmoffitt  We can go to God in prayer because it's a throne of grace not a throne of good works, because His character is good not because ours is. @Thejesslou Grace "alone" is good news. You didn't contribute to God's 1st act of creating you or His 2nd act of recreating you. He has...

Jesus paid for our sins on the cross and gives us eternal life. #thegospelprojectkids  When Christians...
