We may see renewal, at the Lord’s discretion, when:
1) we preach according to the word rather than the winds of culture
2) we prize prayer over pragmatism
3) our repentance outpaces our reviling
4) we commit to believing the gospel is the only power of transformation

One of the worst things for humble people to hear is a lot of talk about how humble they are. Just let humble people be. Encourage them in other ways maybe and then “gossip” good things about how humble they are behind their backs.

The revival we aim for in our preaching may still be quenched by our pride. The Spirit exalts the broken, not the boisterous.

Beautiful ironies of the cross: As they mock him, they submit to prophecy. As they lift him, they exalt him. As they kill him, he conquers. This dark Friday is Good.

Spent the last half of today’s workout thinking about how if I were to lose my reputation (rightfully or wrongfully), I would still have my Redeemer, and that therefore I would still be more than okay. I love Jesus.

Col. 1:11 is simply astounding. How much power may we be strengthened in? How much endurance and patience with joy will we be strengthened for? ALL. The gospel can sustain you with max effect. Not because *you're* strong, but because Christ is ("according to his glorious might").
