Charlie’s hair and God’s hands.
“Some of you they will put to death. But not a hair of your head will perish” (Luke 21:16–18).
“Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands” (Isaiah 49:16).
“Do you feel the world is broken?
We do.
Do you feel the shadows deepen?
We do.
But do you know that all the dark won't stop the light from getting through?
We do.
Do you wish that you could see it all made new?
We do.”
One lesson that we Christians have not learned in the last +2,000 years is that Jesus had no political control over the Roman Empire and he still changed the world.
We keep trying to change the world the way the Roman Empire did instead of the way Jesus did.
What I was not expecting at @timkellernyc’s memorial service was that Tim chose the hymns and gave reasons why he chose each one.
Here are his rationales behind the choices, starting with beloved quotes about the Christian and death. 1/2

Men: if you’ve seen “Sound of Freedom” and want to do something substantive about the trafficking of children, the answer isn’t in paramilitary strategy. It’s actually far simpler, but much more difficult for too many men:
Stop. Watching. Pornography.
When I got knocked up out of wedlock, I was newly unemployed, addicted to alcohol, and without a place to live. Not a good situation.
It wasn’t Planned Parenthood that stepped up to the plate to help me find a home. PP didn’t give me free diapers. They didn’t throw me a baby…
There are a bazillion reasons why I'm thankful for the United States of America.
Ranking high among them is this: The liberties enshrined in our Constitution and the opportunities afforded by an American passport have enabled the sending of thousands of evangelical missionaries.
Why do people need a Bible translation in their main language if they can conduct business or trade in another language that already has a Bible?
Because they need the Bible in the language they sin in.
That’s how I heard a missionary explain it recently.
#SBC23 will do today what we did 178 years ago and haven’t stopped doing since: appoint & send new missionaries to the nations. Those missionaries will beat at the gates of hell demanding release of those for whom Christ has died.
Why we came together and why we stay together.
Jesus is the true and better:
Adam
Abel
Abraham
Isaac
Jacob
Joseph
Moses
Rock of Moses
Job
David
Esther
Jonah
Temple
Prophet
Priest
King
Lamb
Sacrifice
Light
Bread
The Bible is not about you.
