Pray for us tomorrow as I preach! The students on their own initiative called for a prayer meeting tonight! God is at work in the next gen! #revival

BUF CHAPEL | @johnavant We believe the Bible is the divinely inspired and revealed Word of God and our God is worthy of our worship. So we gather together as a university community to worship Him. View our chapel lineup at buf.edu/events!

@OSHawkins Wow. Thanks for this brother. I want to make this my own. Getting older is not easy! One of the greatest Life Action leaders, Mark Bearden, went to be with the Lord this year. He used to quote the theologian Fenelon, “Goodness, unless deeply rooted, diminishes with age."

Thirty years before he died Dr Criswell prayed this prayer in a morning service…I have written it down and see it on my study desk every morning and pray daily my own version of this request…..👇

@claytoncloer Awesome!

Boom! In English, Spanish, and French Creole

@chuckkelleyjr Donna and I are praying for u brother!

Yesterday was the worst day of my life, but the best day ever for my Beloved. I will take that deal 100% of the time. 5 years after her cancer journey began, Rhonda stepped into eternity about the time we usually had morning coffee. I grieve. She celebrates. God is wise & good.

@JustinPetersMin @JoshBuice @ScottAniol @sikesmatt As a part of a revival ministry I need to say that this is shortsighted thinking at best. As a part of a ntl revival movement in the 90s, it’s hard for me to go anywhere without finding lasting impact on lives & churches. All of us need to walk in humility & guard our judgments

Since the Asbury "revival" started exactly one year ago, I thought I'd post a video I did on it with the help of @JoshBuice @ScottAniol and @sikesmatt. One year later, there is no lasting fruit. The local churches have not been impacted - not for the better anyway. youtube.com/watch?v=YVA5oc…

I just preached in NC. A young girl accepted Christ and when the Church applauded she took a bow! 😂 How appropriate. All heaven was observing and angels rejoicing. Praying for more to take a bow this Christmas season. @LifeAction

”Hear the word of the Lord, you who tremble at his word….“ Isa 66:5 My pastor, Jay Smith, said today, “You will never tremble if it’s all about you.” If I fear the Lord, I don’t have to fear anything else. If I don’t fear the Lord, I will fear almost everything.

@claytoncloer Excited for you. Praying and looking forward to being with u in January!

We are officially the Baptist University of Florida.

@pastorclint Lifting u and ur family up. Praying Zephaniah 3:17 for u

Last night Connie and I got a call that our youngest son Nate died in his apartment from a probable drug overdose.Nate has been in the far country for a couple years now and we have prayed for him everyday. The Lord is kind. We trust Providence.

“We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God.” Bonhoeffer If God wanted you to repent, to change, or even to leave all you do to follow Him, would you be interruptible? @LifeAction

“The Church must be seen as the company of pilgrims on the way to the end of the world and the ends of the earth.” Leslie Newbingen

"Do not waste time bothering whether you ‘love’ your neighbor; act as if you do, and you will presently come to love him.” - C.S. Lewis

But Godly leadership is fragile. My flesh is a daily threat to it in my life. The answer is having others around me who are HONEST when my leadership looks more like me than Jesus. And I MUST humbly hear. So am I a godly leader? I don’t always know. But those I serve with do.

Enough about ungodly leadership. What does GODLY leadership look like? Well I see it every day with our team at Life Action. I see humility, repentance, forgiveness, & compassion lived out. Godly leadership is all that, & always leads toward the King and His kingdom, not self.

If people send ur staff members sympathy cards when they find out they work for you… you might be a narcissistic leader. 😂 Seriously, narcissism is the fastest way to destroy ur spiritual integrity, far beyond where u work. We either humble ourselves or God will do it for us.
