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. Love is not the fruit of our labors, but the fruit of the Spirit. Love is not about trying harder, but allowing God‘s love to flow to us & through us to others. @simplestapleton So the law reveals the righteousness that God is, by which we are judged (and therefore condemned); the gospel reveals the righteousness that God freely gives to sinners through faith in Jesus Christ. @MichaelHorton_ Just love God and people is not the gospel; it is precisely that holy demand of the law that we have grievously failed to keep.… Our love toward God and neighbor is the essence of the law; God’s love toward us in Jesus Christ is the essence of the gospel. @MichaelHorton_ Many people use the Bible merely as a manual of doctrine or a guidebook for living. But ...

In other words, the key factor when deciding which church to join is not the style of worship or provision for children or charisma of its leaders, but the gospel. Is this church committed to the Word of God? @timchestercouk @mike_reeves Rather, he sent down the same Spirit by whose power he had dispensed the Word, to complete his work by the efficacious confirmation of the Word... the Word is the instrument by which the Lord dispenses the illumination of his Spirit to believers. (Calvin’s Institutes)   Your kids don’t need a perfect parent, they need a parent who looks to Jesus when things aren’t perfect. @rjgrune   As it pertains to our growth as Christians & discipleship, how often do we start with our status with...

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. The Devil knows our name and labels us by our sin. However, the final word does not belong to our sin or the hunting accusations of the serpent. The final word speaks in a loud voice from the cross and says, “it is finished.” @GospelEconomist He's a "come & find rest" Savior to a "do more, try harder" world. @simplestapleton If you are not convinced that both your justification and sanctification is by faith and flows out of your relationship with Christ, it’s going to be hard to live with authority and confidence. (Jack Miller) Grace is so freeing, empowering. Trying to obey through the power of the Law is like putting sand in your gas tank. @jaredcwilson Martin Luther points out that the Gospels themselves can be wrongly r...

If you like the tweet, go and follow the person on Twitter. The false idol of super – Christians has destroyed the freedom of those who aren’t! @DrSteveWBrown Justification is still the doctrine upon which the church stands or falls. @MichaelHorton_ I am a Christian not because I think that I can walk in Jesus’s footsteps but because he is the only one who can carry me. I am not the gospel; Jesus Christ alone is the gospel. —Michael Horton via @birdchadlouis Love doesn’t come from us. We only love because God loved us first. We need to lift our eyes. @simplestapleton When we don’t have an assurance of God’s love, we don’t want to be in his presence because of our sin. Faith can’t flourish when you see God this way… Faith looks at least 10 times more at Christ then at your sin. (Jack Miller) God gives...

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.  I think when it comes to Christianity we need to stop telling people what they should do and start telling them what's been done. @evanheadrick  How can we glorify God? Bear fruit. See John 15. But in the church we have focused on the fruit without remembering the Vine. It’s not about what we do, but what God in Christ through the Holy Spirit does through us. Church, abide (be with Jesus) & the fruit will come! #hesstonmb That is what God‘s goodness has done to me. He has created in my heart a great desire to please the one who loves me, knowing that, if I don’t please him or even have the desire to please him, he will remain quite fond of me. @DrSteveWBrown A salvation from sin divorced from justification is an impossibility and justi...

If you like the tweet, go and follow the person on Twitter.  We aren't defined by what we do for a living or with our day. We are defined by what Christ has done for us. @TheJesslou  The Gospel is karma's worst nightmare: we get the exact opposite of what we deserve. @birdchadlouis God loves you NOT to the degree that you are LIKE Christ, but to the degree that you are IN Christ. And that's 100% - Rankin Wilbourne via @scottsauls Grace is a pool where elephants can swim and children can play. Grace isn't just a doctrine; it's a 24–7 context for living. @DrSteveWBrown the point of scripture isn't to instill more confidence in ourselves, but to strengthen our confidence in Christ & His finished work for us @RelevantChris My preaching aim? To exalt Christ so much & hold out his g...

If you like the tweet, go and follow the person on Twitter.  People don't need to be fixed. People aren't projects. People need to be loved. Rather than try & fix people, just be with them. @Byronyawn Justification by grace alone though faith alone on the basis of Christ's blood and righteousness alone is at the very heart of the gospel. @TomHicksJr Transformation is becoming practically what we are positionally in Christ. @RelevantChris Grace is not a second chance to do better. It is a standing invitation to rest in what Jesus has done perfectly. @WillWalker 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 "The same gospel that initially called us to faith is the means that per...

If you like the tweet, go and follow the person on Twitter.  "I do not condemn you. Now leave your life of sin." The order is everything. @scottsauls The problem occurs when our man-made rules (for prayer or Bible reading) become more important than Jesus... @noeljesse Life under the law is a judge constantly taunting, "You will never be finished!" The Gospel is Jesus' shout: "It is finished!" @NickLannon Good works don't direct God's favor. They reflect God's favor. They demonstrate God is good & He loves you. @RelevantChris Whatever you may be facing today, you can rest knowing that the Lord is your light, your salvation, your fortified city. @PaulTripp Lent is not about your faithfulness, but rather about the faithfulness of Jesus on your behalf. He i...

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. Trying to disengage our work for Christ from our union w/Christ does violence to method the Spirit has chosen to sanctify us. @ElyseFitz Do you see fellow Christians as family members or as competition? @Alex_Early via @keylifenetwork The great command is not "be right" but instead LOVE. @RelevantChris Jesus proves, by the resurrection, that God redeems, heals, and makes all things new. @JustinHolcomb God provides! Either I have a horrible memory or an angel filled my car up with gas. Not sure how to explain it so To God Be The Glory! @JL_Martin The greatest ...

Richard F Lovelace: "Spiritual life flows out of union with Christ, not merely imitation of Christ." @rayortlund The One who never was plagued by “me, me, me” gave Himself selflessly so that we might be united with Him in spite of ourselves. @rjgrune Saul was an imperfect king Israel wanted from God, but Jesus is the perfect king God wanted to give His people. #thegospelprojectkids The only one who can assign value to you is the One who made you. He says you're priceless! @RelevantChris Broken people need less Should / Just impossibility and more Because /...

Your sin does not exceed God's love. His grace does not have a breaking point. No matter how we do the math, we are justified. @Byronyawn  I've gone from preaching "just do it" to "it is finished." @RelevantChris It is not the quality of your faith (weak or strong) that saves you. But instead the object of your faith-Christ. @Byronyawn Jesus doesn't motivate with guilt but with grace. He doesn't react with condemnation but with compassion. He doesn't punish, He pursues. @ZachMaldo Nothing is more practical for living the Christian life than unio...

The object of your faith is always more important than the amount of your faith. Reset your faith, hope and confidence in Christ today! @pastorjimtvc The grace that saved us is the same grace that sustains us. If it was good for eternal life, it's good for daily life! @JeremyG220 Being gospel-centered means that the gospel not only saves you but permeates all areas of your life. #gospelcentered @clayadkisson Reformed piety is not interested in checking off boxes. Reformed piety is dying to self & living to Christ. @RScottClark The Bible is not primarily abo...

There is no freedom in keeping the rules or in breaking the rules. Freedom is found in being with the Father. @RelevantChris Our goal isn’t “be like David, Abraham, Jacob.” That we are like David, Abraham, & Jacob IS our problem & we need a Substitute for it badly. @JustinHWillms  "...the (Lord's) Supper is not law but gospel. It is not a funeral but a feast." @RScottClark via @BenjiMagness God's grace is less about what we can or can't do...it's way more about what Christ has done and is doing! # RealGrace  @JeremyG220 The Holy Spirit has not only...

(Terry Hunt) #USMB2016 "The Great Exchange is simply that our sins go to Christ and Christ's righteousness comes to us by faith!" @MichaelHorton_ True Christian liberty is the freedom to live and love as a response rather than a requirement! 2 Corin...

God does not count his sin against him 2. God imputes to him the righteousness of Christ @dornanm The Bible is not primarily concerned with a quest for personal meaning & fulfillment. It's a story about God, who is so good he cares for us @MichaelHorton_ the function of the law was to fix your eyes on yourself...the function of the gospel is to fix your eyes on Je...

It is God's kindness that leads us to repentance, not our repentance that leads God to be kind. We have to get this right. @scottsauls The law does not produce sanctification. Instead we are transformed by a work of the Holy Spirit. @RelevantChris The reason we sin is because we turn inward. The only leverage I have over sin is to trust in the One who has overcome it. @RelevantChris Christianity is about Christ crucified for sinners. @ZackJamesCole If we see Jesus as just our example, we'll be crushed when we fail. He is our substitute. We fail & run 2 Him b/c He did i...

" 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...

The grace of God is not a what, the grace of God is a who. @RelevantChris Paul always moves from the indicative to the imperative. It is the flow of the Christian life flat out. @Byronyawn  We are not automatically set to gospel mode, so we all need help in constantly resetting to grace. @jaredcwilson  I am all too familiar with the parents who bring a child in for counseling to be “fixed - @keganreece  once we've been saved, once we've understood & accepted the message of the gospel, the person & work of Redeemer becomes secondary to what we're focu...
