“But
how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can
they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless
someone tells them?
And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the
Scriptures say,
“How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!”
Romans 10:14-15 (NLT)

I’ve
finally gotten into my groove of how to use twitter in a way that is worthwhile.
The truth is that I’m not even certain how to use twitter, except that
I’ve figured out how to send tweets and to automatically receive daily tweets
from two (in my eyes) spiritual giants via text message.
Although
I am light years from being a spiritual giant I’m now tweeting things I’m
learning (including things I “learned” but didn’t actually learn very well
in experience) about living life with God.
My hope is that these things will help others, perhaps you, make their
way into living “the life that is truly life” (1 Timothy 6:19) with our
great, great God. Here are a few
examples
It
is remarkable that in all of his writings Paul’s prayers for his friends
contain no appeals for changes in their circumstances Tim Keller
The
more idealistic our expectations the less happy we are with church. Idealism
wrecks reality -church is not an ideal but a reality S. M.
A
great marriage is when God becomes so precious to you that you discover that He
makes you spouse even more precious to you
Believing
that your life should be free from suffering is like going to Marine Boot Camp
expecting it to be a vacation in Fiji.
Disaster
is born out of a human attempt to bring about what God promises. See Galatians
4:23
Christianity
seeks to conform the soul to reality. Do you believe that there is a knowable
reality beyond your senses?
"Salvation
is confidence in God" Dallas Willard. Let this sink in. Salvation is
confidence in God. Begin today with that.
Awesome
thought from philosopher theologian Jonathan Edwards "God re-creates the
world out of nothing at every moment that it exists"
Where
in your daily life God irrelevant to you? You know God loves you, but it just
doesn't help. It is there that you discover your idol
(Is
God relevant cont.) When you find you idol, confess the consuming need down to a
legitimate desire & God will fill the hole in your cup.
If
you wish to receive my tweets my twitter address is @jefflampl.
