Everyone wants to have my mantle but nobody wants my sackcloth and ashes. - Leonard Ravenhill a craving for the glories that accompany ministry with no interest in service, labor, simple, ordinary people, will turn one into a devil.

heresy is a work of the flesh. heresy is not the only work of the flesh. the comprehensive depravity of our hearts should remind us to keep a close watch on ourselves and doctrine. as we gain enlightenment in one way, our flesh makes us susceptible to darkness in another.

I don’t think I’ve ever thought of repentance as a joyful endeavor. I’ve thought of it as painful, and it is. I’ve thought of it like Thomas Brooks described it: as the vomit of the soul, and it is. Yet, it’s a joyful endeavor. Perkins is shifting my paradigm and I’m glad.

In Christ, the righteousness of God is not a hammer to smash us, but clothing to cover us.

As an Ex-Muslim, let me explain Muhammad and “The Satanic Verses” in the Quran.  This will shock you. was a good prophet until he wasn't. I wanted to believe he was sincere, that maybe he was just misunderstood, maybe he repented later on in his life.  But the more I studied the timeline of his ministry, the harder it was to ignore the shift. Early Muhammad in Mecca preached peace, talked about one God, and tried to win over Jews and Christians. But later in Medina, that’s when it changed. Suddenly, it transitioned to power and polygamy and violence, and revelations started sounding a lot like personal convenience. Then there’s a part nobody really wants to talk about in apologetics - “the Satanic verses.” Ibn Ishaq, Islam’s earliest biographer, says Muhammad delivered verses that glorified pagan idols and then blamed it on Satan. And you tell me, how does a prophet mistake a demon’s voice for God’s? Imagine if Paul or Peter did that. Imagine if Jesus said, “oops, that part was from the devil.” You would never trust that message again. But with Muhammad, there’s a double standard where you’re not allowed to question. Even when he married a child, took extra wives, and had people killed, you’re told to submit. And that’s when I knew. A real prophet doesn’t serve himself. He sacrifices himself to serve others. Only one man in history never changed under pressure and still laid down his life. And that’s Jesus Christ.

@Emarged @seyif_unmi insane details

You know what DIDN’T shock me when I came to Christ as a Muslim?  Jesus, the real Jesus. He didn’t shock me at all. What shocked me was how consistent He was with the God I was reading about in the Torah. I’m reading the Bible for the first time and thinking: “Wait a second. This God, Yahweh, is always stepping into humanity.” He’s not distant. He walks in the garden. Adam and Eve hear Him. He wrestles with Jacob. He appears as the angel of the Lord. He speaks to Moses face to face. So when Jesus shows up, it doesn't feel random. It felt like the next step. People act like the Incarnation came out of nowhere. It didn’t. It’s progressive revelation. God revealing more of Himself, culminating in Christ. The Trinity isn’t random theology. It’s God with us. God for us. God among us. Isaiah said it 700 years before—Emmanuel, God with us. That’s prophecy. So here’s where I got stuck: Why is it easier to believe God walked, spoke, appeared, wrestled— but suddenly He can’t enter His own creation? That logic doesn’t make sense. For me, recognizing Jesus as God wasn’t a leap. It was the most natural next step. And once I realized the Torah was revelation from God, not the Quran, I knew where I had to stand.

@Islam435 🤡

Stop saying Muslims are terrorists.

"They seized my baby and sliced him in two with a knife. My second child woke up ... They split his head with a machete." THIS IS THE REALITY FOR NIGERIAN CHRISTIANS. When will the world wake up?!

“Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature.” 1 Corinthians 14:20 “Infants in evil” = inexperienced and incompetent. “Mature in thinking” = experienced and competent.

There’s no such thing as sexual compatibility. It’s not a genotype or blood group that you’re born with. Two people who genuinely love each other will navigate their sexual compatibility.

@OA_Thinks sure

@AdegbolaMo Okay, thanks. Can I ask you two questions, not counting this?

one of the big snares of charismatic circles is over-realized eschatology. big phrase, I know. I’ll explain. over-realized eschatology undermines the tension of our present state as believers. the tension of the already-and-not-yet. we are already saved, redeemed,

@Kingmakerthe1st Yes sir!

This snare isn’t exclusively charismatic. Also, there are quite a number of charismatic churches that do try to hold this tension. To varying degrees, obviously.

@OA_Thinks Yeah

@AdegbolaMo Okay. You mean you're a Calvinist and continuationist?

@OA_Thinks I am reformed AND charismatic.

@AdegbolaMo Good point. What Christian tradition do you belong to though if you're not charismatic?

@KingdmHeritage thank you. 🙏

@AdegbolaMo I've missed seeing your tweets

and in the lives of others. if we overemphasize the not yet, we’ll be defeatist people who will live beneath our means, making peace with sins we’re meant to put to death and giving in to pressures of darkness in our world. we often tilt to a side. we need to be mindful.

impervious to sin, pain and suffering. this tension must be held if we’d have a biblically sound understanding of things. if we overemphasize the already realities, we’ll be lopsided people who can’t handle the realities of suffering and struggle in our own lives…
