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. God’s story tells us who we are and who God is, and it tells us of the new identity, “the children of God”, that he gives everyone who believes in him. @PaulTripp Similarly, what great occasion he gives us to contemplate his mercy when he often pursues miserable sinners with unwearied kindness, until he shatters their wickedness by imparting benefits and by recalling them to him with more than fatherly kindness! (John Calvin) New Year's is the annual festival of we're -Not Good Enough -Not Skinny Enough -Not Nice Enough -Not Smart Enough It is the unholy day of the Little Law that always accuses us. Today, and every day, hear this: Christ is our Enough In him we are 100% pleasing to God. @birdchadlouis  God's resolution for His children ... ...

If something we think about God violates what we know of Jesus, what he taught, and how he acted, then that thought lies. @DrSteveWBrown Improvement of the world through political & social reforms is both necessary & possible. But it is carried out under the terms of Christian freedom, not according to the prescriptions of biblical law. (Martin Luther) “Sometimes the Lord shows us something that seems so wrong so we can change it. Other times, He shows us something that seems so wrong so it change can change us.” (C.H. Spurgeon) in Steal Away Home @aaronivey @_matt_carter  Bad News: Liberals and Conservatives are both sinners. Good News: Jesus wasn't either a...

The gospel answers every wrong use of God’s law. @joshwaulk As believers, we should be working towards what unites us, not what divides us. (Terry Hunt) @usmbchurches  In Isaiah 61, we see Trinity followed by 7 verbs showing the work of God. Every aspect of this work is focused on US. @birdchadlouis How do you kill an awakening? Add some requirements. Add some kickers (what we should do) @DrSteveWBrown Whenever I hear the law, I get excited because the gospel is coming. But many times in church all we hear is all law. @danemeryprice Preaching 45 minutes of law and then throwing the gospel in at the end is not gospel-centered, it's gospel-caboose...

Below are quotes from various speakers at Here We Still Stand: How do you kill an awakening?  Add some requirements. Throw in some kickers (what to do). Limit God's love. Be too serious.  There's something unreasonable about God's love toward us. If we never get better, he will love us the same. Jesus gives us the message of reconciliation.  This includes forgiveness of sin (taking our all our sins) AND giving us His righteousness. Double imputation is a hill worth dying on. Christ died on it. Capon-We talk so loudly about "shoulds" and shouldn'ts" that they eclipse forgiveness of sins. Preaching 45 minutes of law and then throwing the gospel in at the end is not gospel centered, it's gospel caboosed. There is more than one way to be legalistic. Legalism is not just "thou shalt nots" but also tips/steps we tell people to do.  In Christ, you are as secure as Christ is. It's not that we are not hearing law. Social medi...

Daniel Price was up first on Friday morning at Here We Still Stand.  Here are some quotes: Jesus is the best communicator ever. He created it. Jesus--You will know my disciples by their love. 500 years after the Reformation, it seems like we have lost the gospel.  It needs to be continually proclaimed. I believe the denial of faith without works comes from not understanding double imputation. Because of double imputation, you don't have to do anything, but you get to do everything for your neighbor. 2 Corinthians 5:16-21 We are new creations to God through Christ. We are alive.  It's all of God's doing. Jesus gives us the message of reconciliation.  This includes forgiveness of sin (taking our all our sins) AND giving us His righteousness. Double imputation is a hill worth dying on. Christ died on it. 2 Corinthians 5:21 is what Martin Luther called the Wonderful Exchange. Whenever I hear the law, I get excited because the gospel is ...
