Satan continually tries to refocus your attention. Phil's book, Stop Chasing Happy, emphasizes the importance of perspective and worldview. Do not allow Satan to redirect your eyes from God.
Are you trusting the Lord to provide all things?
This is our prayer for today! Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord, for our hope is in you alone. Psalm 33:22
Debbie and I are grieving this morning. Our sweet friend Mandisa - one of the most talented Christian artists - is now in the presence of her Lord. We were blessed to have her several times at Women of Joy. Join us in praying for her family and friends.
Today I saw a dear friend for the first time in 20+ years. Rayford Taylor worked for my dad when I was a child. Took me somewhere every Saturday. Now 80, still smiling/laughing and encouraging me. I treasure what he taught. One of my heroes!
Stop denying your pain and admit it to yourself. In Phil's book, Beyond Betrayal, he recommends acknowledging your pain as one of the first steps to healing.
Excited tonight to release the latest @realwomenofjoy Bible study “Known: Six Week Study on Cultivating Biblical Community” written by our daughter. Excited about the people who will be impacted.
Excited the first @realwomenofjoy is starting tonight in Branson, Missouri. Sold out event with thousands praising our Lord. Praying for lives to be eternally changed.
Happy Easter! For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. John 3:1
At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. the Earth shook and the rocks split. Matthew 27:51
This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! 2 Corinthians 5:17

As I was heading to seminary, a man from my home church once told me, ' Don’t get so educated you can't talk to people.' It was a reminder that true preaching bridges God’s deep truths to everyday life.
This morning, our church family celebrated 250 years of missions and ministry. God has done amazing and wondrous things, and we are so thankful to be a part of what He has done and will continue to do through the Abilene ministry! There will be no evening worship tonight, so…
Wow, the second-largest crowd of the year packed the church today. Plus, we baptized three, licensed two to the ministry, and a young man was saved. It was a great day to be in church!
Today we baptized 26 people of all ages at @QSBC ! At the beginning of the week we had only one person tentatively scheduled for baptism. God is working. Southern Baptists, let’s stay on mission! Let’s keep preaching Jesus. Let’s keep winning souls. That’s what it’s all about.
Thank you, Phil! Appreciate you and your ministry!
@SBCReview @DrBradWhitt This is a well-written piece worth reading. Thank you @DrBradWhitt for sharing.
After our services today, I talked to … One young man in his early twenties who prayed to receive Christ last week with a coworker who has been praying for him and inviting him to our church He and his fiancée will be baptized on Easter
Our 3.3 pound mini schnauzer Bella got a bath from me, blow dried by Michele. She was angry with both of us. 5 minutes later, she’s playing fetch with us and happy. Pastors should be the same way: Short memory when offended. Forgive easily. Predisposed to love.
For the first time in five years my neurosurgeon gave me a clean bill of health and says I don’t need any more follow up visits. Praise the Lord!
@philwaldrep @friendlyavebap Thank you so much, brother Phil! I think so much of you and grateful for your friendship and encouragement. I’ll soon be getting a NC number, so when I do, let’s make sure to catch up.
Of all churches identified in the New Testament, not one of them is identified by numerical size. Health, faithfulness, unity, yes. Size? No. Not a single one. Focus on what is primary and trust God for size.

Please pray for the Alabama House as it votes on comprehensive gambling bills. Our beloved state should not become Bama Vegas. Devastating effects of gambling addiction would be pervasive as an insidious form of taxation, preying upon the most vulnerable. ricklance.com/joint-statemen…
A remarkable man, kind brother in Christ, committed scholar and teacher, with a sacrificial spirit as he served @nebcvt We will be praying for his family and colleagues.
This morning, a dear friend, James Mancuso, walked into the presence of our Lord. Jim was the librarian @nebcvt. He was a gifted researcher, wise counselor, and great writer. Jim challenged me, informed me, and encouraged me. Thank you Jim for being a brother to me.
@philwaldrep @nebcvt A very kind man I always was encouraged by.
@philwaldrep @nebcvt We had the joy and the honor to work with Jim over the past three years, producing his collection of poems, musings and photos, New England Ramblings, and his translation of the NT and Psalms, Lifegate. A great writer and a great Christian.
We had our EC & full board meetings. Takeaways: —Alabama Baptists continue to lead SBC in CP giving. —Alabama Baptists surpassed their State CP budget by $1.3 million. —Alabama Baptists surpassed their State Missions Offering by $400K. It’s truly great to be an Alabama Baptist.
Just finished my latest presidential biography, this one on William McKinley. I knew very little about him or his accomplishments before reading. Probably one of the most under appreciated presidents in history.
Four things I desire to be known for: (1) Winning people to Jesus. (2) Discipling those I won. (3) Living a life of gratitude and generosity. (4) Being a man of prayer. Sure, there are more, but these four are essential.
