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.

We have so little joy because we water down the law so it doesn’t really mean when it says, and we water down the gospel, so our salvation isn’t really as big as it is. You have to accept the full demand of the law along with the full glory of the gospel. (Jack Miller) Timothy George writes, “The differences matter, but (1)they are second-order; (2)they distinguish but need not divide Baptists from other Protestant evangelicals; (3)they may be gifts to the catholic church; and (4)they may enhance rather than negate the unity of the church.”    No one Protestant house contains the fullness of Jesus. @KevinVanhoozer Only the love of God in Christ will fill you with joy and carry you through the weariness, the boredom, the shame, and the weaknes...

Summer Study on Wednesday Nights at Hesston MB

This summer on Wednesday nights from 7-8 p.m., we will be reading through and discussing a book together at Hesston MB.  The community is invited and snacks will be served. Our first night together will be June 6. The book we are using is by Alvin Reid and is called Sharing Jesus Without Freaking Out. It is a great book.  Here are the chapter titles: Spread the Word: Don't Overcomplicate It God is Not Mad At You: Understanding the Message It's Easier than You Think: Conversations, Not Presentations It's Not in Your Power, yet You Are Vital Ignition and Transition: Conversation Starters and Signposts Let Them Help You: Start with Them and They Will Point to the Gospel Talk, but with More than Words Make Friends, Not Visits: Developing a Plan If you have questions, let me know.  I hope to see on Wednesday nights this summer!

He not only declares us holy, but he also empowers us to be holy. Union with Christ means Christ is in you. @WilbourneWisdom The gospel also reminds me that my righteous standing with God always holds firm regardless of my performance, because my standing is based solely on the work of Jesus and not mine.  @MiltonVincent #agospelprimer As Savior, Jesus seeks sinners. He paid the ultimate price—His own life—to save people from sin. #thegospelprojectkids We miss the message of the Bible when we read it as though we’re doing our algebra homework, so we can get a good grade from God for the day. @ElyseFitz Galatians 3:3. The gospel is for Christians too. @ja...
