God works triumph thru deicide. The disasters of today do not catch Him off guard or knock Him off course. Crisis is His MO #EnjoyYourDay
When reading certain theological debates I'm reminded of the phrase: "falling off either side of the wrong horse."
Present suffering is to future glory as birth-pains are to the joy of new life. Horrifically painful. Totally worth it. #EnjoyYourDay
Jesus was never anti-anyone. So long as they weren't pro-themselves.
The whole world is invited to Jesus. Everyone can come as they are. No-one can stay as they are.
You do Not have to be straight to come to Christ. You Do have to be a sinner.
Misapplication of union with Christ #47: "You know I see a lot of myself in Jesus..."
To be clear: we should see *all* of ourselves in Jesus by grace. (Not *some* of ourselves in Jesus by works)

Science alone can never give us "science alone." If u want "science alone" u'll have 2 argue philosophically. Then it's not "science alone"
4those sitting final exams 2day someone will say 'Pens down' then the hols. 4 the Xian it's 'schools out 4ever' Gal3:24 #EnjoyYourDay
People are tremendously disappointing - none more so than me
Through His life, death & resurrection, Christ has taken the wheel of this world, turned on the sat nav & pressed “Home” #EnjoyYourDay
- Do u see yourself in Psalm 1's picture of manhood?
- Ha. Ish.
- Only "ish"?
- No. Not "ish". "Ha*Ish". Fully in Him.
"Blessed is The Man"
- Do you see yourself in the blessings of Psalm 1?
- Moralistic reading: Ha! Ish.
- Christian reading: Ha*Ish!
Yeah I'm basically cornering the "tortuous Hebrew puns about Christ in the OT" market. It's wide open baby
Jesus sailed thru a hurricane to get to Legion (Mark5). He was hurled into the Abyss to rescue u. Same predicament, same love. #EnjoyYourDay
Sometimes in suffering we need to understand. Sometimes we need to know that Jesus understands. We're part Martha, part Mary #John11
"We want to see Jesus lifted high" sing the Father and Spirit. We can join in too if we like.
God does not overpower our narcissism with an even greater self-centredness. He overwhelms our egotism in a torrent of self-giving.
In the face of suffering we need to be able to Hate and to Hope - to Stand Against suffering as an Enemy and to Look Forward to its End
Christ is yr clothing (baptism), yr food & yr drink (communion). And He’s given while ur naked, famished & guilty as hell #EnjoyYourDay
I thought I had the right angle on my triangle pun. Those opposed called it hypertenuous :(
Living in Eastbourne gives you regular reminders that growing old gracefully is not automatic.
We always think we need help. What we need even more is helplessness.
Adam and Eve made fig-leaf coverings. Their children have followed suit.
That salvation is too big for you, Jesus says ‘Let me take it’. #EnjoyYourDay
That worry is too big for you, the Father says ‘Let me take it’. #EnjoyYourDay
That job is too big for you, the Spirit says ‘Let me take it.’ #EnjoyYourDay
Is anyone else worried that Chewy Luis' victims will themselves become biters? #WorldCupZ
Dear Struggling Christian, you are not in between lapses. You are in Christ. (Col 1:13-14)
Often my work is "slapdash" because always my work is "slack... dash"
