A Facebook friend - not a Christian - just posted a link to the Peshawar school shooting saying of the perpetrators: "Hope to f*#@ there's a hell."
How much of our thinking about judgement is coddled in western comfort.
There is a Mediator with God. He's fully accepted by God and 100% on our side - the Man Christ Jesus. #1Tim2 #EnjoyYourDay
How does that Isaiah 9 song go? “And the government shall be upon my shoulders.” No, it’s all on the Prince of Peace. #EnjoyYourDay
“The whole order of things is as outrageous as any miracle which could presume to violate it.” GK Chesterton
It's interesting that lists of "Jesus-myths that predated the incarnation" don't include the obvious ones, yknow, like Moses, David, Isaiah
SHOCK! ANCIENT TALE OF GOD'S SON "DYING" & RISING TO WIN HIS BRIDE PREDATES THE JESUS STORY BY *MILLENNIA* (Gen 2:21-24)
Wait a minute. I've been blocked by a troll. That's like your stalker serving you with an injunction :-/

This confirms my suspicious that we need to hear less of how believers are also reasonable & far more abt how rationalists are also believers
Is God ok with u? Look to the manger. There’s the Son laying hold of u forever: “And he shall be their peace” Micah 5:5 #EnjoyYourDay
Jacob blessed his boys in the name of the Redeeming Angel (Genesis 48:16). He was either an idolater or a Trinitarian #ChristInOT
The Angel of the LORD was either mad, bad or God. #ChristInOT
Those who most scorn the idea of divine justice (comfortable westerners) are those who've rarely had to cry out for earthly justice.
Jesus enters the world defenceless, not using ‘holiness’ or ‘transcendence’ as protection. He’s yours if you’ll have Him #EnjoyYourDay

The shepherds in the fields & the Good Shepherd in the manger were the same: drawing near to the sheep no matter the cost #EnjoyYourDay
He has entered our flesh, our frailty, our failures. U don’t have to lift yourself an inch. He’s come all the way down. #EnjoyYourDay

He’s the Bread of life, born to be consumed. Why else would you put Him in a feeding trough? #EnjoyYourDay
“@danielsojourn: If we fail to connect Bethlehem to Calvary, we will perpetually have merely a baby Christianity.” And an inhuman atonement
Why Christmas? 1 answer: So “He can deal gently with the ignorant & wayward since He Himself is beset with weakness.” (Heb5:2) #EnjoyYourDay
#Lev17 Jesus says: "My Life is in the blood and I have given it to you to make atonement." He holds nothing back. #EnjoyYourDay
#Ps116 "Return to your rest, my soul, for the LORD has been good to you." Count the ways and #Enjoyyourday
Creation is not an archaeological dig with the intrepid piecing together the clues. It's a preacher, unmistakably heralding God's Glory.
"The heavens drop hints about the power of a creator. The skies give clues of his intelligence. Day after day they display evidence" <- nope Older Christians viewed creation as the theatre of God's Glory. We see it as an abandoned museum (the clever can piece together some clues) "All authority in heaven&earth" does not lie with fate, chance or distant powers. It lies in the nail-scarred hands of Jesus #EnjoyYourDay

“The LORD will go before u [into the new year]. The God of Israel is your rear guard [having dealt with the past]” (Is52:12) #EnjoyYourYear
If the Psalmist compares himself, it's to the LORD or the wicked. Many Christians spend their time comparing themselves to other Christians
No need for you to make a beginning. Christ is “the Beginning” (Col 1:18). In Him all things are forever new. #EnjoyYourYear
A friend just quipped "See u next year". I said "YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU WILL DO *TOMORROW*. WHAT IS YOUR LIFE? YOU ARE A MIST!" #biblical
U may want to go over old ground & do it right but the 2nd Adam did that already. Now the God of Hope moves us ever forwards. #Enjoy2015
Sea lions are faster than humans on both land and sea, so if you face one in a triathlon, you really need to make up time on the cycling.
