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 Bible was never intended to be a systematic theology text, a compendium of helpful hints for everyday living or comforting maxims to carry you through your day. The core content of your Bible is one single story, a grand redemptive story. @PaulTripp Want to be #reconciled to God? Listen to John Murray’s words on how: Believe that the message (of reconciliation) is one of fact and enter into the joy and blessing of what God has wrought. Receive the reconciliation. #done #itisfinished  When I am obsessed with being better instead of being consumed with God’s love and grace, I become prideful if I can pull it off and self-centered if I can’t. @DrSteveWBrown I hope ur ready to hear the gospel preached. But remember we no less need the grace of t...

If you like the tweet, go and follow the person on Twitter.  Jesus is always holding fast to you even when you aren't holding fast to Him. @EvanHeadrick  The God who has Genesis 1 on his resume can handle anything you will face today. @WePreachChrist Here's something to rest in: all of the work that needed to be done to make us pleasing to God, forgiven by God, and close to God - has already been done by Christ. @ZachMaldo “assurance is nourished on a clear understanding of grace and especially union with Christ and the justification, adoption and regeneration that are ours freely in him” Ferguson via @PatAbendroth "It's my job to keep standing there with my arms wide open waiting for you to maybe some day fall inside if you needed it. And if you do, I’ll love you, and if you don't, I’ll ...

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 with Christ does violence to method the Spirit has chosen to sanctify us. @ElyseFitz The Bible is not a self-help manual. It is a love story of a hero's pursuit of His beloved. Jesus is the hero and you are loved. @1christiegirl The Christian faith is not "great is my faithfulness" but rather "great is God’s faithfulness." @ZachMaldo If we want a life rich with fruit that blesses others, it doesn’t happen by doing more, but by abiding more. @bcloritts Church, be reminded--the most important thing is Christ ...

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...

Israel looked at the snake on the pole to live. Anyone who looks to Jesus on the cross and trusts in Him will live. #thegospelprojectkids Where does joy come from? You cannot manufacture joy. #RealJoy comes in Christ, in the gospel & from the Holy Spirit. @revburk The goodness of God is not based on how good we have been. It is based on how good he is. @thecalebstanley Child of God, you may feel God is mad, but "there is no condemnation," and "nothing can separate you from His love." He isn't mad! @ZachMaldo Only when we rest in God's perfect love for ...

Christianity that is based on "self" looks at the world in fear. Christianity that is focused on Christ, looks at the world with Hope. @cameans   We are made right by the work of Jesus Christ, not by our behavior. (Romans 5:1) @ZachMaldo The Gospel is what God has done in Christ through His life, death and resurrection to reconcile sinners to Himself--not something you do.@Nick_Batzig The gospel is not, "You do." The gospel is, "Jesus did."   @edstetzer   because of Jesus, you are loved & accepted by God, right now, as you are, & not as you shou...

Grace frees us from operating out of "have to" at a flesh level and allows us to operate out of "want to" at a heart level. @JeremyG220  A low view of the Law leads you to think if you try harder you can keep it. A high view of the Law leads you to trust Jesus 4 daily living. @ZachMaldo While we finger point & blame shift, Jesus says the only direction a finger rightly points is toward the self. @mockingbirdnyc Christian, you do not have to "prove yourself" to Jesus. Justified by faith and sealed by his Spirit, there is nothing left to prove. @jaredcwil...

When people are in pain or suffering, don't use cliches or moral platitudes or throw a book at their pain/suffering @Byronyawn  The church is not a house of law where we rent out one of the rooms to grace. @birdchadlouis The nicest person you’ve ever met and the most hateful person you’ve ever met have one big thing in common—they need God’s grace. @BrandonSmith85 The remedy for our deadness to God's grace is more grace. @RayOrtlund Christianity is not about what I can do to make myself worthy of His acceptance, but what God has done to make me worthy of His acceptan...
