When Facebook created its live streaming service, little did it know it created the largest megaphone for Gospel proclamation the Internet has ever seen. #DigitalChurch #OnlineWorship

The #PCAGA is debating women’s roles in the church and someone figured out how to do some guerrilla marketing for @BethMooreLPM. Amazing.

I’ve never met a godly leader who lived in a constant state of anger.
But I know several who say/think they’re godly leaders who live in constant anger.
Their fruit is evident.
Anger and fury are not fruits of the Spirit.

So cold in Nashville that the worship leaders will be wearing their beanies unironically this weekend.

Got a note from my son’s 3rd grade teacher reminding parents that shellfish are not allowed as a snack.
To whomever brought a boiled crab or shrimp cocktail, or raw oysters as a snack, you sir/madam, are a legend...

Today has been an incredibly hard day for our Southern Baptist family.
The past few years have been extremely taxing on your @SBCExecComm staff and trustees, however we continue to hold firmly to Psalm 103.
Please keep us in your prayers.

I’m always amazed at people who get bent over being blocked on Twitter.
You don’t get blocked for acting Christlike toward others or for treating others with respect. Nobody blocks you for that.
So maybe aim for that. Problem solved.

Cancelling conferences and having empty stands at sporting events is absolutely the right call. Schools going online only, also the right call.
Loving your neighbor as yourself means not infecting your neighbor.

These last three weeks have been some of the most difficult of my career. Not necessarily because of the workload or the long hours, but because of the truly difficult decisions required by our trustees.

With the “rise” (?) of Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx this month, it’s a good reminder that our government is filled with dedicated, servant-hearted people working for the greater good. May their tribe increase.

Don’t confuse the fruit of someone’s ministry with the fruit of the Spirit.
Far too often there’s little Spirit behind those big numbers.
Also, little numbers don’t mean little Spirit.

So far, people offended by #SBLIII commercials:
Hyundai offended vegans
Budweiser offended corn farmers
Zaxby’s offended everyone who loves Jesus and Chick-fil-a
And the actual game has offended all football fans who aren’t punters.

Got some great news tonight.
My mom was hospitalized Tuesday night with what appeared to be heart-related issues.
After a series of tests, turns out it was just some kind of reaction to meds, and her heart is fine.
So she’s headed home tonight.
The Lord is kind.

Fellow Southern Baptists, many of us need a refresher course on our doctrine of cooperation. It’s a distinctive of the SBC. Yet instead of a desire to cooperate on a large scale, I see more desire to narrow fences. I’m afraid some want fences so narrow that only they fit inside.

Other than my wife, I’ve spent more time with @ThomRainer over the past 7 years than with anyone else. His retirement announcement tonight was exemplary. For the past 13 years at @LifeWay, he’s modeled how to lead well. Tonight he showed us how to finish well.

Biggest question I have from the #MarsHillPod:
Are we learning anything from this?
It would be easy just to say “Look how bad everyone has done XYZ” or “Look what that pastor did.”
My prayer is that churches/leaders are starting to see themselves in this and hopefully repent.

Thinking back to seeing @christomlin this morning at the pumpkin patch. I totally should have asked him to rate our pumpkin. Could have said “Hey Chris, how great is our gourd?”

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (Eph. 3:20-21)

10 year anniversary of @Gospel_Project has me thinking about the impact @TrevinWax has had on the Church in the last 15 years.
TGP, @CSBible, his blog, his books & much more.
We owe Trevin a mountain of gratitude for his service & commitment to discipleship.
Thank you, Trevin.

In our present culture, few people celebrate the imago dei more than Tim Tebow does through his “Night to Shine.”
He has consistently used his platform to celebrate the image of God in all peoples. Thank you and well done, Tim.
Until all are celebrated, until all are loved, and until all know their true identity as God's royalty.

Got to hear @Jeff_Iorg give an update about @GatewaySeminary this morning.
I am always encouraged by him. Too many Southern Baptists are unaware of the incredible leadership he has provided to that school and to Southern Baptists in the west over the last 40 years.

Yesterday we released a story at @baptistpress debunking a series of lies about @erlc.
Today @mbcpathway debunked more lies about about @jasonkeithallen. (is.gd/wTGxnG)
The lying must stop in the SBC. The truth is worth fighting for. Our mission matters most.
