Below are the 10 most challenging tweets/statements that I have heard from people within the last month and I hope they humble you and get you excited about the glory of God in the grace, love, and mercy of the Gospel. (not in order of importance or value)
- "If you only love the people that you can control, that is NOT love, but control." -Bryan Chappell (via Elliot Grudem)
- "If we come to Christ God drew us, which none of us deserves. If we don't, God did not draw us, which all of us deserve." -John Piper
- "You are only as free in the Gospel as you make people feel." -Elliot Grudem
- "Pursue your spouse as a lover, not as a provider of your needs." -Scott Thomas
- “Do you worship God, love people, and use things? Or do you worship yourself, love things, and use people?" -Francis Chan
- "You can't love people until you are no longer in slavery to their approval." - Jeff Vanderstelt
- "When you delegate tasks you create followers. when you delegate leadership you create leaders." -someone teaching at ReTrain (via Tim Smith)
- "The church can get another pastor, but your wife only has one husband." -Mark Driscoll
- "Every verse in the Bible is meant to have a good effect. Don't throw any away because at first it doesn't. The problem is us." -John Piper

That was a great list. Very challenging and yet uplifting as well. It's a bunch of 140 word or less sermons. I prefer that to 140 minute sermons any day.
I know what you're thinking Frye and your wrong. I haven't ever spoken for 140 minutes...it was 139 min. Get it right!
Loved reading those top 10! And I like the pics. Glad to hear about your job Keith!
