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 our every interaction with others, especially those with whom we disagree, let us say to ourselves, ''This is one for whom Christ died.'' @birdchadlouis A gospel-centered sermon is a shared feast.

It is to remind you who you are in Christ so you don't want to sin. @ShaunShahan Proverbs 31 is the personification of wisdom.
