We need a bona fide, otherwise unexplainable move of the Spirit desperately among us & in our churches but it waits on the other side of our rediscovery of what saints of previous generations called tarrying before the Lord. I just don’t think He’s much into instant messaging.
We no longer wait on the Lord. We leave the Lord to wait on us. I do not say this with condemnation as I have learned almost everything the hardest possible way but I often hear people say they awaken in the AM & scroll through social media while their head’s still on the pillow.
I just have 3 words to say to that:

what the heck???

The God who spoke all creation into existence by the mere force of His voice wants to speak to His people. He wants to be with us each in the secret places. Wants to tell us the truth before the world hits us with lies.
I don’t know any other way to say this and I’m aware this makes me sound like the worst curmudgeon but the best part of serving God is actually God himself. Being with Him alone. We’ve lost this. We think the best part is Him equipping us to smack down our theological opponents.
I don’t believe the Spirit will move powerfully among us individually or corporately until we learn to still ourselves before Him. To give Him our most precious limited resource: our time. To not just drive thru but dine with Christ in the Scriptures. Pray.Anyway, good AM, y’all.

There are certain expectations we are absolutely right to have about people in any realm of Christian ministry: Pastors, teachers, communicators, singers, worship leaders, church leaders, representatives of Christian nonprofits, etc. Expect them to be flawed? Imperfect? Yes. BUT
Expect them to be genuine regarding Jesus and the people they serve in his name. Paul told Timothy to to “keep away from youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faithfulness, love & peace in company with others who call on the Lord from a pure heart.” If over time they don’t,
that’s not where you want to be. Do not get it in your head no matter what comes out about any person in Christian work that it’s the way you may as well expect all of them
to be. That’s hogwash. You won’t find anyone perfect. Anyone who walks in the Spirit every second. But you

Thinking of the psalmist’s words of distress in Psalm 116:11. “Everyone is a liar.” I’ve lately caught my attitude toward governmental officials being, “you’re all a bunch of liars.” The Holy Spirit points out in this psalm that arriving at this summation is severely oppressive. Image
And surely it is. And surely this is one reason we of faith are commanded to pray for our leaders. It shields our own hearts, too. The lazy thing to do here is argue over who the biggest liars are. My point is how oppressive it is to think we can’t trust leaders to be truthful.
Of course, there are honest officials out there. Characterizing all by some is cynicism & cynicism left to grow morphs into oppression. Here’s the thing: we CAN trust the Lord. He already told us not to place our trust in humans. Pray for them, yes. Entrust ourselves to them? No.

You know what fun thing you young career writers have to look forward to? Happening on a phrase, a sentence or a crude drawing you scrawled on some random piece of paper that God grew into a book. It’s happened to me so many times. And I always stop, smile and think on it.
Writing’s a hard profession. Maddening. And either impressively defiant in a social media world flatlining our reading comprehension or just plain stupid. Immediate gratification is a fool‘s hope which is why you turn to Cheetos. And as paragraphs gradually materialize on paper,
your book has an uncanny way of having been so much better before you wrote it. Then, should some publisher actually show interest in it, the question becomes whether or not your ego can bear the criticism. And then, of course, there are all the deletions.

You know how you sometimes can’t articulate a season of your life till you begin coming out of it? I’m having that experience. I feel like I’m waking out of a long winter’s night that began with the death of my beloved brother 18 months ago & began wrapping up about 1 month ago.
It was characterized by so much mourning (multiplied with the death of our 5 year old cutest-thing-ever bird dog), bone-deep exhaustion & increasingly unbearable physical pain. I couldn’t write. I could study & prepare messages but not write. I tried hard but nothing would come.
I didn’t have the energy to garden. My body was racked with too much pain to fool with my vines. Got so down about that, I couldn’t even go look at them. I didn’t have energy for complicated relationships or conflict.

Truly fought depression and lost.

This is a fairly niche tweet to any of you who are heads of ministries and nonprofits or are long time pastors of a church and you are nearing or well within retirement age. Assume that those who are working for you are wondering what your plans are. Don’t leave them hanging.
Denial is not only unhealthy for you, it is extremely unfair to those who work for you. We who are in Christ ought not fear facing natural decline. We can say all we want that we still have the energy of a teenager and the gifts and calling of God to stay in the lead but for most
it’s simply not reality & sometimes we can be the last to know. Do you have trustworthy people with the guts to tell you when it’s time to transition if even just a little at a time? Refusal to think about/talk about it signals that our identity is in our position, not Christ.

After your graciousness, I’ll share a couple of good recipes with y’all in a thread. I have to admit when someone has me beat and my friend Jan Morton’s southern cornbread dressing surpasses mine. The best, most consistent recipe for it I’ve ever tasted. granjansjoy.com/2016/11/dressi…
This is my high school boyfriend’s mother’s (lol) recipe for chocolate pecan pie. Makes two so, of course, half the recipe if you’re only making one. It’s absolutely fantastic. The alternative at the bottom is mine. My problem is, I think everything is better with cream cheese. Image
Best pancakes of your life. Image
