RU in Christ? Yr sin is crucified forever, yr righteousness is raised eternally & UR ascended to God's right hand. 2Cor5:17-21 #EnjoyYourDay
"You're so obsessed with the Christ, the Son of God, but what about the other members of the Trinity?" <- said far too often
NB: We do not honour each person of the Trinity by providing equal air time for the Three. There is a way to honour God - with a capital W
My editor keeps writing "OUTSTANDING" in the margin of my manuscript. So kind considering all the corrections I need to make but haven... oh
Nothing's intractable. Nothing's a lost cause. Jesus said “My Father is at work to this day, and I too am working.” Jn5:17 #EnjoyYourDay
The God of Easter is not into repair so much as resurrection. Therefore death is not a diversion, it's the way.
The real reason "Guidance" is a thorny issue (and it's nothing to do with God) https://t.co/4mBW7ubBHf #Watch

I think Emma may be my favourite gospeller. Cant think of anyone else who uncovers our desperate need then offers Christ quite so powerfully
What holds the world together? Money? Power? The strong/weak nuclear force? No, the God-Man thru Peace-Making-Sacrifice #Col1 #EnjoyYourDay
Is it my imagination or are liturgical churches more able to hold diverse races/classes/personalities together - on a Sunday at least?
If so might it be that ditching liturgy doesn't so much reach 'the people' as reach 'the people like us'?
You are completely unnecessary but entirely loved. #EnjoyYourDay..
If Billy Graham had his time over he'd be an evangelical Anglican. http://www.churchnewspaper.com/38885/archives/ But of course!

As the Father has loved Christ - eternally, paternally, unreservedly, unremittingly - so has Christ loved you. John15:9 #EnjoyYourDay
Faith = dependence. Therefore the "strongest" Christian is the one who feels their weakness the most.

A spinal injuries nurse just told me: quadriplegics often cope far better than those with more minor injuries. They're grateful to be alive
Which story do we fit our own suffering into? "I was on the up until this setback..."? Or "I was headed for the pit until God..."?
Does yr listlessness, lovelessness or laziness disqualify u? No "Blessed are the poor in spirit 4 the kingdom belongs 2 them." #EnjoyYourDay
No matter what u've been called in the past, u have a new name in Jesus: Hephzibah. It means "My delight is in her" (Is62:1-4) #EnjoyYourDay
It’s important for someone to sit Wales down and say: “Scotland and England both love you very much. NONE of this is your fault.” #indyref

The Essence of Evangelism: "What do you make of Jesus? ...I know but what do you make of *Jesus*? ...Totally but what do you make of JESUS?"
A couple of paraphrases of 1 Peter 3:15 coming up... One is more faithful to the original than the other...
"Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason you're so darned cool, clever, credible AND Christian!"
"Always be prepared to tell people it's JESUS who got you through the hard times. Cos if u suffer well, clinging to Christ, people will ask"
Every tear wiped away. Death, mourning, crying & pain abolished. All creation renewed. Jesus face to face. #ComingSoon #Rev21 #EnjoyYourDay

Preached on "baptism saves you" this morning at Worthing Tab (1Pet3). Just preparing "Mary the mother of God" (Luke1) for tonight. #baplican
Very glad communion is the preacher's great safety net - proclaiming Jesus' death far better than we ever could.
Exaggeration is the deadliest of all sins. #NoExaggeration

#HeForShe rightly makes gender equality a male issue too. It rightly says stereotypes can enslave. But what Positively do our genders mean?
#HeForShe works when #He stands up for #She not when #He abandons #He-ness and #She abandons #She-ness.

I am a home missionary with Child Evangelism Fellowship and really love your presentation titled - The Gospel in 321 I think it is the first really Biblical presentation I have ever seen. I would like to have this presentation to use to train the teaching teams who work with children in our area. Do you have it available in flashcards? If so, what is the price? Or is it possible to get a DVD of it that could be copied into flashcards?
I am hoping to get it for our classes starting in Oct. 2014. Thank you and God Bless you!Bev
Hi Bev,
Thanks for the encouragement. No I don't have any flash cards already made unfortunately. I'm thinking that the video embedded at three-two-one.org will be just as hi-res as a DVD of it - is it possible to make flash cards from that?
Are you also aware that there's a paper folding version of the presentation?
