Here’s a 1 min clip of Rich Mullins in honor of his death on Sept. 19, 1997. Classic. It’s from one of his last concerts before the car accident… he said this almost 30 years ago.🔥 – at Philadelphia, PA

My wife inherited an estimated $20,000 - $30,000 worth of guns. (This is only maybe a quarter of it.) We could have sold them but she decided to do something way more metal. She had them sawed into pieces so they can be melted down and fashioned into gardening tools.

The openness to LGBTQ believers that I’ve seen is not primarily the first step on a slippery slope, nor is it an embrace of therapeutic individualism, as critics like to claim. It is, much more simply, an open invitation: “Come & see.” Today's newsletter: kristindumez.substack.com/p/…

What is not impressive: 1. Pastoring a large church 2. Fandom in ministry 3. Writing a best selling book 4. Preaching on the conference circuit 5. Hosting a popular podcast What is impressive: Finishing well, after decades of faithful ministry, with integrity and character.

I finished making all these crosses today, made from gun barrels. I really like making crosses from guns… because the gun and the cross offer two very different versions of power. One is willing to die, and the other is willing to kill.

Jesus loves the poor so much that he moved into their neighborhood to become one of them.

The one who hurries delays the things of God - Vincent de Paul. Rushing is violent to your soul, to those you love, and to those around you. Be still before him, and ask yourself: “What might I be doing that God is not asking me to do?”

Deconstruction doesn’t have to conclude with the loss of one’s faith. In fact, it can lead to an even deeper relationship with Jesus. Listen to the conversation between @mrajswoboda & @MarkusWatson. #AfterDoubt markuswatson.com/2021/03/16/…
