Kaptivated Truth: Worship Matters - "My Mind: What... →
kaptivatedtruth:
Here are the notes I took on Chapter 3 (“My Mind: What Do I Believe?”) of Bob Kauflin’s Worship Matters: Leading Others to Encounter the Greatness of God:
- “The better (i.e. the more accurately) we know God through His Word, the more genuine our worship will be. In fact, the moment we veer from…
Do. Love. Walk.: Lover first // Worker second →
mikeclevenger:
You have to stop loving and pursuing Christ in order to sin. When you are pursuing love, running toward Christ, you do not have opportunity to wonder, “Am I doing this right”? or “Did I serve enough this week?” When you are running toward Christ, you are freed up to serve, love, and give thanks…
Amen.
Q&A #1 - My Only Comfort: Studying With the...
michaelspotts:
This is the first in a series. I have decided to spend the next several months using the Heidelberg Catechism, a historic Reformed confession of Christian doctrine, as a study aid in my daily bible reading. If you are unfamiliar with the HC, I highly recommend reading at least this first question and answer, as well as Q&A 60, “How do you know you are righteous before God?”...

substitutingreality answered: “cause of atheism” you say that like it’s a disease. And who is killing Christains? You may want to do some fact checking lol

You know what absolutely breaks my heart?
‘The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips then walk out the door and deny him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply find unbelievable.”
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what...

benshim asked: Hey, I found your tumblr from a search for the resurgence. I don't want to sound creepy, but your desire to seek God is evident throughout your tumblr. You have a random (east coast) follower!
Isn’t It… Funny how a $20.00 bill looks so big when you take it to church, but so small when you take it to the mall. Funny how big an hour serving God looks and how small 60 minutes are when spent watching television, playing sports, sleeping or taking a lunch break. Funny how long a couple of hours spent at church are but how short they are when watching a good movie. Funny how we...

Auston Jones: You don't exist for you →
“Auston, we’re not here to eat.” I stared at my Pastor in total confusion. We were sitting in the booth at Ruby Buffet, a Chinese restaurant, plates of food in front of us. It was 12:30pm, I had gotten up at 5:30am to lead a Bible study and hadn’t had time for breakfast. The noises my stomach was making told me that I was most certainly there to eat. Let me explain.

Missional Churches
My notes from the sermon from Mars Hill OC:
The mission has a church vs. the church has a mission
Seeker sensitive (bring them to church with programs) vs. missional ( us going out to the world, neighborhood, community)
2 common errors in missional churches:
1. Syncretism (relativism)
2. Individualism
“1st generation believes a truth, 2nd generation assumes a truth, 3rd generation...

The Beautiful Exchange: Date a Girl Who Loves... →
By Ashley MacKenzie
(A response to “Date a Girl Who Reads” and other parodies.)
Date a girl who loves Jesus. Date a girl who would rather stay at home reading Scripture on a Friday night than be out partying with a group of friends. She has issues with space because her shelves are overflowing with the works of Lewis, Edwards, Spurgeon, Piper and more. Date a girl who spends her money on...

For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human...
