When it came to the crunch the disciples didn’t seek 1st the Kingdom, they fled the King. Yet the King pursued them thru death 2 say “Peace”
To cover, cleanse and cry
To purge & purchase, pacify.
To cover, cleanse, set free
His blood availed for me.

<< Good on him :) (@DerrenBrown) It's worth thinking about why we all fall for hoaxes - even @DerrenBrown. None of us are as sceptical/rational as we'd like to think we are
Don't wanna get all hypnocritical. But I've always wondered if @DerrenBrown could be fooled. Hypnothetically speaking pic.twitter.com/d1AtDsNXoa

You know that death you fear? You died it 2000 years ago. Now you are raised, vindicated and reigning. #ChristIsYourLife #EnjoyYourDay..
The book of Revelation unveils the glory of Jesus, but it's about the Bride. For Jesus too, the woman is the glory of the man.

Christ loves us and has freed us from our sins by His blood. (Rev 1:5) #EnjoyYourDay
God gives faith because God gives promises. IOW God's promises create our faith.
"Faith is a gift" does not mean God is grudging or partial. He freely gives the faith-creating-gospel.
"Faith is a gift" means God's determined always 2b the Faithful One towards us: always the One eliciting our trust by His own grace&goodness

I know it's odd to carry my teddy around but bear with me.
In Genesis 1&2 we go from the simple to the complex: seeds=>plants=>fish=> animals=>Adam=>EVE. Where's it heading? To her. It's a love story

A god of the gaps aint really God. And a naturalism of the whole aint really naturalism.
It's not simply that 'Jesus is God'. Far deeper and far more wonderfully it's that 'God is the Jesus-God'
Luther prayed: “O Lord, deliver me from Christian churches with nothing but Christian saints in them..." >>
"I want a little flock of faint-hearted people, weak people, who know&feel their sin, their poverty&they believe in the forgiveness of God”
The temple drummer refused to accompany the service but I had him bang to rites.
Phwoar, that binary code! That's a noughty one
I've invented an abbreviated form of morse code - for when you just want to dash something off.
For linguists, translating the Bible for the blind is the Holy Braille. (It's the weekend, cut me some slack)
The gift of tongues: an acquired taste
My favourite fish opera is the one with "O For Tuna": Carmena Piranha -- Shut up, the morse code one was Brilliant.
For some strange reason I found myself today saying,"It is tweeted", instead of, "It is written".
Same difference: "The Tweeting of the Word of God *is* the Word of God" ;-)
