The current idols that are harming the church and those in ministry:
performance, productivity, and platform.
(Sorry for the three Ps, I guess pastor brain is a thing.)
These idols undermine and mute the liberating ministry of the Spirit, the love of Christ, the grace of God. 🕊️✝️

As I look at the ministry landscape and see burnout, struggles, hurt, and failures, I am convinced of this:
We may say the right things about the Spirit and what the Spirit does, but we don't actually live and practice as if our pneumatology is true.💔

Grading papers can be a chore, but it is fulfilling to read good work and see the growth of students.
I love seeing students grasping important concepts/issues in the field of OT studies. 📚🖊️📓

"How has Jacob rebelled, you ask?
Samaria epitomizes their rebellion!
Where are Judah’s pagan worship centers, you ask?
They are right in Jerusalem!" ~Mic 1:5 (NET)
Where was the center of rebellion & idolatry, it was in the heart of the nation.
A word for today.📜

A lament: We're called to be light, to be salt, & to do the kind of good works that cause our *neighbors* to praise our Heavenly Father.
Sadly there's a lot of the opposite, actually.
Many of our neighbors are actually hurt, marginalized, & pushed away from God by what Xians do. 💔

Isaiah prophesied about Emmanuel - the With-us God.
Encouraged as we reflected on his righteousness, justice, and a day when nations would stream to his glorious city.
There we will no be a need for swords or training for war. We long.

The start of Advent feels weighty this year. Thankful to be able to worship and focus on the themes each week.
#Hope feels especially meaningful these days. 🕯️
Appreciate @barry.d.jones reminding us that we live in the valley between the peak of the first Advent and the Summit of his return.

Enjoyed running the #IrvingTurkeyTrot 5k. Good start to the day, good morning I'm with friends, and a way to support Irving Schools.
Five years ago we would not have seen ourselves as Turkey Trotters but all the walking has changed us. 🦃👟🏅

There have been times in my life when this season was all about Christmas and joy.
In recent years this season has been about Advent and feeling the weight of the "not yet" as we wait.
Thankful that this season can hold both the heaviness of waiting and the joy of Christ's arrival.🕯️

You can say you see the imago Dei in all people, but your treatment of others - esp the least of these and the other - says more about how you see people and their Creator.
