I’m thankful that God always behaves from His identity, even though I don’t always behave from mine. @JeremyG220 Unfortunately in the church today, we get our doctrine from the Scriptures but our methodology from the world around us. We trust the supernatural for one but not the other. @WhiteHorseInn Legalism is a soul enslaver, joy taker, friendship killer, and church divider. @gospeldriven The gospel saves and brings God's rule into our lives (his kingdom) in order to bring the good news of his power into the world. The gospel changes us from the inside out and spreads through our lives and lips to the world by his Spirit. @JeffVanderstelt

Everything we do in Discipleship must be anchored in the Gospel – what Christ has done for us. @MichaelHorton_ interview on @theocast_org What the devil wants us to do is to lose sight of Christ’s part in the change process. Therefore, any change, any victory over sinful habits, has to start with you exercising more faith in your sovereign Senior Partner. (Jack Miller) The gospel, then, cannot be treated simply as a message for unbelievers, as the doorway into the Christian life; in order for Christians to grow they must be kept in the sunshine of the gospel. @timchestercouk @mike_reeves Our response to what God has done is a life characterized not by striving but by thanking, a life of gratitude—that’s what God...

True, lasting joy comes from outside of us. @WhiteHorseInn Jesus was the perfect sacrifice. He died on the cross to free us from sin and empower us to say no to temptation. #thegospelprojectkids Sanctification is about daily putting off idols, our God – substitutes, and putting on Jesus Christ and his love. (Jack Miller) You might feel burdened and weighed down by all the things you feel you ought to do for God, or by all of your repeated sins, but remember, God is your Savior. When Jesus died on the cross, your day of wrath was over – it is finished. (Jack Miller)   But I don’t have to fix anything or anyone. That is God’s business. When I let him be God, I’m in...

Jesus living, dying, rising for us & saving sinners is gospel. @WhiteHorseInn The babe in the manger is a stark reminder that in Christian faith, we don't meet God half way - He came all the way. Grace. Alone. #Advent @pauldunk Hope in the here and now and hope in the great forever that is to come rests on one set of shoulders. It rests on the Almighty shoulders of Jesus, who is for you today the Way, the Truth, and the Life. @PaulTripp How is grace tied to obedience? Only people who are confident in God's love and acceptance of them are willing to unreservedly pray, "Thy will be done." Grace makes us trust. Trust helps us obey. @ElyseFitz Jesus' name meant "God with us". His last words...

If you like the tweet, go and follow the person on Twitter.  The irony of legalism is that it doesn't take God's holiness seriously *enough*, since it presumes ability to measure up. @jaredcwilson You cannot grow in holiness and holier-than-thou-ness at the same time. @jaredcwilson Shame, whether it comes from the outside or from within, has great power over us emotionally. @scottsauls #befriend Because when the volume of grace and freedom goes up over our shame, the voices of shame can't help but be silenced. @scottsauls #befriend How do our passions for God grow? Not my being told that they're supposed to grow, but by marveling at what God has done for us. @jdgreear The gospel isn’t doing something or joining something, but receiving something. @WhiteHorseInn

If you like the tweet, go and follow the person on Twitter.  Too many of us try to live our Christian faith by focusing on the don'ts. Instead of focusing on the don'ts, focus on the dos. @noeljesse The Holy Spirit begins empowering us to want to love, giving us the ability to love, & causing us to know the love of God. @JustinHolcomb When we try and use fear or pride to stop from sinning, we are forgetting that we sin because of either fear or pride. @timkellernyc via @WhiteHorseInn Moms, be free from performance-based motherhood. Jesus is your righteousness, not your kids' choices, grades, manners, careers, or faith @ScottyWardSmith Corporate worship is meant to remind us that the One who sits on the throne is the definition of power, glory, holiness, wisdom and love. @PaulTripp

Terry Virgo via @noeljesse “The love of God does not find but creates that which is lovely to it.” ~ Martin Luther via @MichaelHorton_ Jesus is the Suffering Servant who died so that those who trust in Him would be forgiven. #thegospelprojectkids It is the Holy Spirit who moves us beyond mere imitation of Christ into union with Christ. @WhiteHorseInn "But God" Among the most important phrases in the English language and human history. Ephesians 2:1-7 @AlsoACarpenter The prodigal parable isn't about the rebellion of the younger or the rule following of the older but the father's relentless love for both. @MattPopovits    

This is a new feature on the blog.  Usually on Mondays, I get caught up on my favorite podcasts.  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. The same act of faith that constantly looks to Christ alone for justification looks to Christ alone for sanctification and glorification. @MichaelHorton_  The important thing is the presence of faith in Christ not the intensity or degree of faith. @whitehorseinn #Abraham  Dead religion invites you to burdensome obedience. It's all riding on you. The gospel invites us into freedom & loving obedience. @pauldunk Read God's Word. Underline heavily everything about what our Savior has done for us. You need this...
