"These people who have been turning the world upside down have come here also...
They are all acting contrary to the decree of the emperor, saying that there is another king named Jesus."

It’s tough to beat the Canes on the road as a 3 touchdown underdog.
It’s impossible to beat the refs too.

Being "right" is not the same as being Christlike. Jesus didn’t just win arguments. He won people. Truth without love is noise. Love without truth is hollow. But love with truth? That's what changes lives.
The great illusion of leadership is to think that man can be led out of the desert by someone who has never been there.

Until I found Jesus Christ I felt like I was stitched together by what everyone else said about me.... my self image looked like a Frankenstein’s monster.

The “put it into practice” in Phil. 4:9 reminds me that we have a faith meant to be lived out in our everyday lives.
“Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.”
Philippians 4:9 NIV

Let me fix that headline…
FSU’s Jameis Winston is now joined by Michigan’s J.J McCarthy with a 96.3 winning percentage as a starting QB.
However, with 6,086 yards passing over three seasons McCarthy was unable to match Winston’s 7,694 yards passing yards over his two seasons.
J.J. McCarthy’s 96.3 winning percentage is the best mark by any starting quarterback in at least the last 20 years. 😳 #GoBlue

Before the water turned into wine, someone had to do the ordinary, tiresome task of filling the water pots.
We want the new wine to just appear, but Jesus calls us to fill the jars first.
In short, God often wants us to participate in our own transformation.
“It is not speaking that breaks our silence, but the anxiety to be heard. The words of the proud man impose silence on all others, so that he alone may be heard. The humble man speaks only in order to be spoken to.”

“Tim Keller’s writings inspired us to be a church that the city must have, a church that steps on the city’s ground and seeks to connect with it,” says a pastor in Recife, Brazil.

Sinning isn’t like filling a stomach; it’s like fueling a fire. You’re not satisfying a desire; you’re waking one up.

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

What I’ve learned the hard way, at times, is the work that I don’t do within is the war I wage with others. And sometimes, quite embarrassingly over the years, even on social media.
If we don’t attend to our shadows, they may become hammers.

ah yea, we know that guy. He watched national treasure once and now he's made heisting old documents his entire personality. It's a whole thing.
@OKWildlifeDept You missing one of yours?
🦝 This furry little bandit was running amuck at our Archives and Records Annex this week, setting off alarms, break ceiling tiles, and knocking things off shelves. He was safely caught and released at Chickasha Lake. 🌳
