“While I can, I sail east in the Dawn Treader. When she fails me, I paddle east in my coracle. When she sinks, I shall swim east with my four paws. And when I can swim no longer, if I have not reached Aslan’s country … I shall sink with my nose to the sunrise.”—Reepicheep

I know that some roadwork on a hot Sunday afternoon might not seem like much of a rest, especially by judging the look on my face, but I assure you, spending my Sabbath on the trail for awhile is one of the most enjoyable and recharging activities I could ever enjoy. #IFYYK

@DrDavidLAllen @MABTS I would have been there but my brother, Emmitt McKenzie decided he would go preach in Canada instead of walk. If that’s not Mid-America, I don’t know what is?! 😃

Today is graduation day @MABTS ! Thankful for these many students and their future. Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary is worth your consideration if you’re looking to further your education!

I just posted my @PhoenixSeminary talk on sanctification over on the YouTube machine. I discuss: - Pop ideas of sanctification - How it relates to union with Christ and justification - How Athanasius’s focus on participation strengthens our doctrine Link below 👇

@brandon_d_smith @PhoenixSeminary I am definitely going to watch this Brandon! I’ve been reading a book on the Holy Spirit by Sinclair Ferguson and I’m fascinated with this subject.

@MuskratManor @PerfInjust This!

@PerfInjust Castiglione's Courtier book fits. The idea of sprezzatura originates here.

Which Christian books on masculinity encourage men to lose weight and/or dress well?

@NewswirePatriot Cool!

The white horse is absolutely STUNNING! This is the "Jesus Jesus Jesus" event in Manvel, Texas. This BEAUTIFUL display featured 10,000 drones to tell the story of Christ. ✝️ What do you think?

"God is not simply infinite distance; he is also infinite nearness. One can confide in him and speak to him: he hears and sees and loves. Although he is not within time, he has time: even for me." -Ratzinger

Fellow Preachers—Sow the Seed!

Beware, Boys You can get some area of ethics correct—say, gender or sexuality—and still miss the Kingdom of God. The scribes (theologians) and Pharisees in the New Testament were correct about some things in the Law, but many dishonored Christ while others blasphemed the Spirit.

@DrDavidLAllen Boom.

If your heart is restless and dissatisfied, you may be an easy target for temptation because your ultimate loyalty has not been fully settled.

This is what God can do! #400K

Ran 1, then .25 walk, .25 run for 3.5 miles running and 2.5 walking—Nice day for a little roadwork with prayer and worship. #Run4Him #FatboyRunningCo #LSDRunning #Nike #BrooksKicks #AppleWatch #AppleAirpods #Week10P90X #F3 #PonyBoy #WorshipToday #EasterExercise

DOC training and certification all day in Tulsa so I can go into Lexington prison (and others) at will and minister and disciple inmates. I am grateful for Bruce Perkins and Blake Taylor, two men that have a passion for discipling these men.

Too funny!

Congrats to @rscott_pace and his presidency at Southeastern. I befriended Scott and had him teach years ago . . . Also, I interacted with his dissertation in my dissertation back in the day. Good brother!

Aslan is on the move!

For the fun of it, can you figure out from the Greek text what verse this is and what it is saying? ὁ γὰρ νόμος τοῦ πνεύματος τῆς ζωῆς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ ἠλευθέρωσέν σε ἀπὸ τοῦ νόμου τῆς ἁμαρτίας καὶ τοῦ θανάτου.

After some Yoga today, I put on my 25lb vest and took a 3 mile ruck. I have unlimited trails where I live . . . Including this big thing they are building behind me. #P90X #F3 #IYKYK
