In order to obey God, we must often disobey ourselves.
‘Foul I to the fountain fly,
wash me, Saviour, or I die.’
Stalin's Russia. Mao's Red China. North Korea. The greatest tyrannies have always been presented as sacrifices necessary for the common good.
HE is our shalom.
ProTip for men: If you see a woman crying, ask her if it's because she's fat.
If we don’t understand the ugliness of our sin, we’ll have little understanding of the beauty of Christ's redemption.
What's a Bible verse that's encouraged you or helped you keep sane during lockdown?
Have courage. Jesus can redeem even the onslaughts of our enemies.
Though their assaults feel like knives in the back, Christ can transform them into gifts from Heaven.
I believe in the Resurrection.
Remember who your King is and what Kingdom you belong to.
"Whoever is ashamed of Me and of My words in this sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when He comes in glory.”
-Mark 8:38
Society uses shame to get compliance. In our faithfulness to Christ, we must become shame-proof.
Parents: Don't want your children to wake you up at 5am eager to open presents?
Simple. Just make one rule: "Last child out of bed opens the first present."
‘The entire space achievement is put in proper perspective when one realises that God walking on the earth is more important than man walking on the moon.’
-James Irwin, Apollo 15
My daughter says she wants to be treated like a princess.
Sure. I think I'll force her to marry someone she doesn't love in order to strengthen ties with the Hungarian monarchs.
"The Woke Witch that gives us Winter but no Christmas Parties"
[Where I respond to the claim that it's a Christian duty to NOT celebrate Christmas with friends & family]
Heaven doesn’t reward complacency.
Hardships often sift our soul - and the loss of our false selves often restores the true.
Evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant.
Then it tries to silence the good.
'The church is near, but the roads are icy.
The pub is far, but we will walk carefully.'
