God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 1John5:11 #EnjoyYourDay
Philippians 4:6 “@trouteyes: If you're anxious and you know it, clasp your hands.”
Groaning under the weight of your “sacrifices” 4 the gospel? Don’t think sacrifice, think sound investment (Mark 10:29-30) #EnjoyYourDay
Feel like many critiques of law/gospel preaching are really rejections of gospel/gospel preaching. At which point we can all agree
‘In the shadow of your wings I take refuge til the storm has passed.’ (Ps57) The storm will pass and the refuge is secure. #EnjoyYourDay
Just met someone else who doesn't know what a globe is. It's a small world.

#TheGospel: Not diplomatic immunity for a foreign land. Rescue /from/ a dark kingdom into a realm iridescent with the Father's love Col1:13f
Two lines to use in evangelism: "That's why I'm not an atheist..." and "That's why I'm not a Muslim..."
<< When we differentiate the gospel from both atheism *and* Christless theism, the surprising glory of Jesus will shine

Your connection with God is Not up to yr prayers or yr piety. It’s up to yr Priest. And He ever lives to intercede 4u #EnjoyYourDay
“As I move thru our passage I have 4 thoughts to share.” I’d skip this sermon but my playlist is full of the like. Where are the preachers?
The chief description of preaching in the NT is 'heralding' (kerusso). Would that be the chief descriptor of our preaching?
Preaching is Hollaring. Not Dollaring, Collaring, Drole-aring or Scholar-ing #Hollaring
The God of 'God is love' is not the Three but the Father. The love of 'God is love' is not expressed in a heavenly group hug but on a cross
What kind of God is He? The kind that puts everything on hold because a woman in need tugs at His shirt. #Jesus #Mark5 #EnjoyYourDay

God is pulling all things through the cross and out the empty tomb #EnjoyYourDay
You're on trial for killing the Judge's son. He forgives you and offers his daughter's hand in marriage. #Pentecost #Acts2

Preach primarily to the will? Noah and the Whale say: "You can give up anything when you're following your heart" #BiblicalAnthropology

The voice of the LORD twists oaks & strips forests bare. Some in His temple cry “Glory”, others question the relevance of monologue Ps29:9
Want to reboot your life? Hold your nose while depressing your belly-button for 5 seconds. Failing that, try Jesus: 2Cor5:17 #EnjoyYourDay

The oneness of God is:
1) without remainder,
2) the indivisible oneness of being
3) b/w the Son & His Father in the Spirit.
We need all 3

Is not the issue 'what is the gospel?' If we believe that sola fide is at the heart of the gospel then law/gospel will be important to us. The gospel for us will be 'it isnt by own attempt to keep to the law that I am saved but by trusting in what Jesus has done for me'. If law/gospel is at the heart of the gospel then a critique of law/gospel will be heard as a critique of the gospel. But if you read Peter's sermon on the day of Pentecost law/gospel does not really show. The gospel for Peter is: Jesus is God's Messiah; God has raised him from the dead; repent and be baptised and receive the Holy Spirit and become his follower. For me this is the essential gospel and is backed up by Paul in Romans 10. 9.
