Every Christian needs a strong foundation.
Here are 5 essential doctrines every believer must learn, love, and live.
🧵 The Doctrine of God (Theology Proper)

Who is God?
He is holy, sovereign, eternal, omnipotent, and unchanging.

A low view of God ruins everything. A right view grounds everything. (Jer. 9:23–24; Isa. 6:1–5)

Twelve years in prison — for opening his mouth.
John Bunyan chose a jail cell over a coward’s silence.
Most pastors today wouldn’t last twelve minutes. Pastors used to be dangerous.

Now, they're life coaches in sneakers, terrified to offend sinners who hate their King.

6 things every true follower of Christ must know.
Non-negotiable. Eternal. 🧵 1. You’re not the center of the story. The gospel isn’t about self-fulfillment—it’s about God's glory.

Christ didn’t die to make you comfortable. He died to make you holy.

Colossians 1:16–18 — “...that in everything He might be preeminent.”

Most people are spiritually malnourished and don’t even know it.

They’re tired, distracted, dry—and they assume it’s just stress, busyness, or burnout.

But often, it’s deeper than that.

Here are 7 signs you're starving your soul:
(Confession: Given thought 1, 6, and 7 hit home.) 1. You scroll more than you pray.

Your feed is forming you faster than your faith.
You’re being discipled by distraction.

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind. —Romans 12:2

There was a time when Sunday wasn’t just “church day.”
It was the Lord’s Day—honored, protected, and treasured.

The Puritans showed us why.
Their words still convict and stir the soul. 🧵 “The Sabbath is the market-day of the soul. It is the day of Christ’s rising from the grave, and of the Spirit’s descending upon the church.” —Thomas Watson, The Ten Commandment

Silence is golden—until it becomes cowardice.
Here are 5 moments when the wise don’t stay quiet. 1. Speak up to defend the innocent and voiceless.

Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. — Proverbs 31:8 (ESV)

Everybody’s talking about relationships—but nobody’s telling the truth.

Let’s fix that.

What to look for in the opposite sex, from a biblical lens.

Not vibes.
Not status.
Standards.

(A Thread for men 👇🏾) Fellas—if she’s always talking about “matching energy,” she’s not ready to build. She’s ready to argue.

You don’t need a mirror. You need a mission-minded wife.

God didn’t give Adam a clone—He gave him a complement.

The Doctrine of Hell – Why People Hate It and Why It Matters
Most people reject hell, not because they’ve studied Scripture, but because they don’t like it.

But what if rejecting hell means rejecting justice?

A thread on why hell is real, just, and necessary 🧵👇 1. Jesus Talked About Hell More Than Heaven
Matthew 10:28 – And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

People say, “God is love, He wouldn’t send anyone to hell.”

🚨 Problem: The most detailed warnings about hell come from Jesus Himself.

If you trust His words about heaven, why ignore what He says about hell?

🚨 Fatherlessness is the crisis no one wants to talk about.

18.3 million kids in the U.S. live without a father.
85% of youth in prison grew up without a dad.
Father absence is linked to crime, poverty, and broken families.
It’s time to tell the truth. A 🧵 on the actual cost of fatherlessness… #1. 7 out of every 10 youth that are housed in state-operated correctional facilities, including detention and residential treatment, come from a fatherless home. (U.S. Department of Justice)

The world wants you to compromise.
The culture wants you to conform.
Your flesh wants you to quit.

Don’t. Here are 6 Resolutions for the Faithful in a Faithless Age 🧵

Begin every week with a firm reliance on God’s sovereignty.

Your trials and triumphs are not random. They are part of God's plan for your sanctification. Stand firm. (Romans 8:28)

1/ The Lord’s Day isn’t optional.

Christians should not fit worship into their schedules—they should build their lives around it.

Today however, stadiums are packed. Pews are empty. We act like God should be grateful if we show up.
#LordsDay #ChurchMatters 2/ We set alarms for work. We sacrifice for sports.

We’ll rearrange everything for entertainment. But when it comes to worship?

“God knows my heart.”

Yes, He does. And that’s the problem.

🚨 Modern Christianity is weak. The Puritans wouldn’t recognize it. 🚨

They lived for God’s glory, hated sin, loved Scripture, and embraced suffering.

We need their 🔥 wisdom right now.

Here’s how Puritan ideas can transform your life today 🧵👇 Image 1/ Live for God’s Glory 💡
The Puritans had one goal: Soli Deo Gloria. Every moment was for Him.

👉 Today? We live for comfort, status, and self.

What if you lived every second as if God was watching? (Because He is.)

The Lord’s Day isn’t a restriction. It’s a revolution.

The Puritans called it “the market-day of the soul.” They cherished it—not as cold legalism but as a feast of grace.

In a restless world, God commands—and gifts—His people a day of worship, rest, and delight. But many have forgotten it.

🧵👇Image 1/ From the beginning, God set apart one day in seven for rest and worship (Gen. 2:2-3).

The Sabbath isn’t a Jewish invention—it’s a creation ordinance. Before the Law. Before Moses. Before Israel. It was woven into the fabric of the world itself.

📜 1/ If God answered all your prayers from the past month, would your life be more holy—or just more comfortable?

The Puritans prayed with depth, reverence, and fire.

For them, prayer wasn’t casual—it was warfare. It was worship.

Here’s what we’ve lost. 🧵👇 Image 2/ Most modern prayers are:
❌ Casual—quick & shallow
❌ Selfish—asking, not adoring
❌ Rushed—an afterthought

Puritan prayers were:
✔️ Deep—rich with Scripture
✔️ God-centered—focused on His glory
✔️ Fervent—prayed with the heart, from the heart

🔥 "A prayer without fervency is no prayer at all." —Thomas Brooks

1/ Many think they’ve repented, but they haven’t.
What if your repentance isn’t genuine? What if you're deceiving yourself?

The Puritans knew the difference. Let’s talk about true biblical repentance. 🧵👇 Image 2/ Repentance (metanoia in Greek) is not just regret. It’s a complete transformation—a change of mind that leads to a change of life.

It’s turning from sin and turning to Christ. Anything less is counterfeit repentance.

🚨 Most Christians today are missing one thing…

It’s the key to wisdom, holiness, and true joy—yet almost no one talks about it anymore.

👉 The Fear of the Lord.

Why have we lost it? And why does its absence weaken the Church?

This might be the most important thread you read today. 🧵👇 1/ Many think fearing God is outdated.

Some say: "God is love! We shouldn't fear Him!" Others assume it’s just an "Old Testament" thing.

But the Bible teaches that godly fear is essential to faith—and those without it don’t truly know Him. Image

Many today assume they’re Christians because they prayed a prayer once.

The Puritans had a far more serious test of true faith—one that terrifies some and comforts others.

Are you truly saved? Let’s find out.
🧵👇 Image 1/ The Puritans didn’t ask, “Did you invite Jesus into your heart?”

They asked:

Do you have new affections?
Do you hate your sin?
Do you hunger for holiness?

Because grace transforms, and if there’s no transformation… there’s no grace.

1/ The Puritans knew a secret about Monday that would change your life.

And no—it’s not “just drink more coffee.” ☕

If you dread Mondays, keep reading. This will change how you start your week. 🧵👇 Image 2/ That sinking feeling on Sunday night? The Puritans didn’t have it.

While we drag ourselves to work, they were thriving.

They saw Monday as a continuation of worship, not a letdown after Sunday. Here’s how. 👇

The Puritans lived with eternity in view. While many today end their nights with mindless scrolling, the Puritans closed their day with devotion.
Here’s how they did it ⬇️ Evening Worship in the Home 🏡📖

The Puritan home was a "little church." Families gathered for prayer, Scripture reading, and catechism. Fathers led, mothers instructed, and children learned the fear of the Lord. (Deut. 6:6-7)

Let’s break it down: Christianity 101. 🧵 Image When athletes like Will Howard share their faith, it sparks curiosity. Is Christianity just about being a good person? Not at all.
