"A sermon without Christ in it is like a loaf of bread without any flour in it. No Christ in your sermon, sir? Then go home." -Charles Spurgeon.

"The first and principal duty of a pastor is to feed the flock by diligent preaching of the Word.” – John Owen

“The kind of God we believe in determines the kind of sermons we preach. The essential secret is not mastering certain techniques but being mastered by certain convictions. In other words, theology is more important that methodology.” - John Stott

"I would think it a greater happiness to gain one soul to Christ than mountains of silver and gold to myself." - Matthew Henry

When I do look back on my past life, and review it, comparing especially the numerous, almost innumerable, instances of God's kindness to me with my unworthy returns, I am overwhelmed, and can, with truth, adopt the language of the Publican, God be merciful to me a sinner.

There is a great gulf between the Christianity that wrestles with whether to worship at the cost of imprisonment and death, and the Christianity that wrestles with whether the kids should play soccer on Sunday morning. —@JohnPiper

Ben Sasse: "What’s really happening is these superdevices in our pockets — the largest tools any median individual’s ever had access to in all of human history — allow our consciousness to leave the time and place where we actually live, the places where we break bread, the people who are living next door to us, the people that you can physically touch and hug, the small platoons of real community, and we allow our consciousness to go really far away"

“There is a living God. He has spoken in the Bible. He means what He says and will do all that He has promised.” - Hudson Taylor

@TideTruther @tpg031122 @Bama_Hammer I'm with you on that for sure. I'm hopeful (not really) that he'll be a bit less stubborn in the future with that stuff. Stinks that two of our bigs have been out for the season too. Looking forward to the Big Dance!

@zachbray8 @tpg031122 @Bama_Hammer I didn’t say I wanted a new coach right now. Just wish he’d change his scheme and call timeouts when the opponent is on a run.

Losing to a team that went 4-14 in league play to drop a seed line next week is just a brutal development. Had a 3 seed within reach and just flat blew it.

@TideTruther @tpg031122 @Bama_Hammer (2/2) Also the whole live by the three die by the three is a complete misunderstanding of the Oats system. Shot selection is based off of value. Rim twos and open threes are objectively the most valuable shots to take. Will we ever win a natty? No clue. But I'm sticking with Oats

@TideTruther @tpg031122 @Bama_Hammer (1/2) I guess my point is that Alabama has never had more success. Why would you want a different coach at the helm? And we haven't lost to Houston (2 meetings) since Oats has been our coach so that notion is completely unfounded.

@TideTruther @tpg031122 @Bama_Hammer Interesting take - I wouldn't say it's the way I prefer watching or cheering for basketball either. But I'll gladly take 2 sweet sixteens, an elite eight, and a final four in 6 years of him being our head coach. I accept that he knows more about basketball than I do.

@zachbray8 @tpg031122 @Bama_Hammer He’s a great recruiter and program builder but his scheme isn’t gonna win us anything. Florida’s front court is perfect for CBB. That’s what we need, not stretch fives who can’t be physical inside. Not sure a name, just don’t like Oats’ scheme

@TideTruther @tpg031122 @Bama_Hammer Who would you rather have at coach? Serious question.

@tpg031122 @Bama_Hammer Down 1 with a chance to win and you didn’t call timeout with 8 seconds left. It’s getting ridiculous

@er_lamb @kj_paul Love that energy - let's roll this weekend

@kj_paul This weekend!

Hard to think of a more enjoyable 3 day stretch in program history lol

The great mistake made by most of the Lord’s people is hoping to discover in themselves that which is found in Christ alone. — A. W. Pink

@BurnerLJohnson Bro, he may be the least atheltic player I've ever watched 😂
