"Self-pity is viral unhappiness." (Eugene Peterson, Earth and Altar).
"Feeling sorry for yourself has been developed into an art form. The whining and sniveling that wiser generations ridiculed with satire is given best-seller status among us." (Eugene Peterson, Earth and Altar).
"The American self characteristically chooses advertisers instead of apostles as guides." (Eugene Peterson, Earth and Altar)
Given the easy manipulatability of online material, I wonder if there'll be a future Dead Sea Scrolls-esque discovery of printed works correcting/clarifying historical information. Keep your books, for Christ's sake.
A run-scoring double is more exciting than a solo HR. Much more.
"The kings of the earth who have committed sexual immorality and shared her sensual and excessive ways will weep and mourn over her...saying, 'Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the mighty city! For in a single hour your judgment has come.'" (Rev 19.9-10) whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
The ubiquity of cameras has hardly deterred crime but perhaps forged a cottage industry of crime porn. Godlessness inevitably leads to shamelessness (Rom 1.18-32).
Is it me or are more commercials depicting men doing laundry and women doing home renovation projects? What's next, kids selling reverse mortgages?
"Some people dream of making a political and social system so perfect that no one will have to be good. Yes, but we would no longer be persons." (Eugene Peterson, Traveling Light).
"If God has numbered the hairs on our heads, how much more has he counted every tear falling from our eyes. Not a sigh uttered before Him will go unremembered." (Patrick Henry Reardon on Ps 56, Christ in the Psalms)
An 'ism' for everything and everything in its 'ism.'
“Understand this, you who forget God, or I will tear you apart, and there will be no one to rescue you" (Ps 50:22). Who will save us from Putin? From Xi? From Un? From Iran? From cartels? From crooks? From devils? From us? The real question is who will save us from God?
We've (and I do mean 'We') raised a generation somehow obsessed with being nominally & superficially associated with ethereal movements rather than humbly devoted to building real local communities. The former takes self-serving clicks, the latter requires self-giving work.
Since we're talking reparations, I know some Baptists and Presbyterians who'd like a word with any descendants from the House of Tudor.
"When he speaks of a new covenant, he makes the first obsolete. Now what is growing obsolete and aging is about to disappear" (Heb 8.13). The new covenant in Christ is really new. Like, really, really new. Everyone, everywhere, everything. New.
“The sad thing is that, we didn’t have a place to bury the corpses of our church members killed in the Kantoma attack, and so corpses were dumped in a mining pit.” #remembernigeria christiandaily.com/africa/muslim-…

@bjmaxwell That’s an apt description of a Liberian I know, a true African-American. He’s fascinating, not to mention brilliant. Most importantly, he’s a devout Christian.
@bjmaxwell For that reason I decided not to do a one-year Bible reading plan this year. When I do one I’m always too focused on hitting my goal to absorb it as I’d like and have to resist the urge to research and dig deeper.
@bjmaxwell We recently visited the National Gallery in London and noticed a man who spent 1-2 seconds in front of each painting. He snapped a quick photo and moved on. That gallery houses some of the most famous art in the world. He failed to take any of it in. I’m trying to avoid this.
In Samuel 15, the Lord "regrets" and Saul "repents." @_alexduke_, @DrJimHamilton, and Sam Emadi discuss. buff.ly/486czky
Welcome to the world, Levi Van Neste, our second grandson! Congratulations Matthew and Bethany!
There is so much I wish I had done differently now that I am in the situation I am. However, you don’t know God’s plan, so you have to live each day as if it’s “the” day. Live today as if it is the last one. Don’t get down to the end no matter when it is and live with regret!
You can join the one on Premiere League. It’s free.
@amathenia Baptists don't gamble. It's a gateway drug to dancing. You know better.
Psalms. Ch. 37:3-5 - Trust in the Lord and do good….cultivate faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord; and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him and He will do it. (Delight in Him comes before the desires given.)
2 Tim. 2:22 - flee youthful lusts and pursue - Righteousness - Faith - Love - Peace Pursue them with a pure heart. Dad’s let’s make this our desire for our kids. BUT, keep in mind we can’t make it happen, so pray for dads with kids not willing to pursue these qualities.
Psalm 25:20-21 - my desire(s) for Samuel and Nathan; “Guard my soul and deliver me; Do not let me be ashamed, for I take refuge in You. Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for You.” Coming to the end of your days will help one reflect on what truly matters.
Psalm 130:5-7, I am waiting on the Lord and in His Word do I hope. I am waiting on His timing for my life and the redemption of my soul (v.7). My hope is in His promise that He is lovingkindness (v.7). Patiently waiting till He calls me home, and to serve Him until He does.
That’s a bit oversimplified. But I would expect a baseball guy to fully understand the details of situation that are involved in that players reaction, response, and recovery! Love you BJ Maxwell!!!
Soccer: Oh dear, that player appears unconscious, might need amputation, could be dead, and is screaming in abject horror. Also Soccer, 14 seconds later: Oh wow, that poor player just sprinted to the other end, scored and is now madly sliding on his broke leg, laughing.
This is from my heart….such an important need. “Comfort for parents of unconverted children.” ccwtoday.org/2021/12/comfor…
How would they be in connection to no more sin, tears, etc. so many “bad” memories that we would like to forget. But what about those Christ honoring and God glorifying memories that He has allowed us to be part of! So to answer, I don’t know!!!!
Common themes in the Psalms. - Trust in the the Lord - Thankfulness at all times in the Lord - Waiting patiently upon the Lord These are typically connected to the man of God and his lifestyle. They define him, he pursues them, and they are the desires of his heart. You??
