Still true, still wise: "It’s almost impossible to go through life all alone.... 'When you go out into the world, hold hands and stick together.' It’s dangerous out there—lonely, too. Everyone needs someone. Some assembly is always required." https://t.co/5QzdZwsMBU

A good word for pastors and worship leaders: “Worship is an act that develops feelings for God, not a feeling for God that is expressed in an act of worship.” ― Eugene Peterson, "A Long Obedience in the Same Direction: Discipleship in an Instant Society"

I love me some Tertullian. 🧐 “I find the origin of discontent (*impatientia*) in the devil himself since from the beginning he was discontented and annoyed that the Lord God had subjected the whole world to the one who he had created in his own image, that is, to humanity.”

As C. S. Lewis imagines it in his novel, "The Great Divorce," silence is fundamental to the warp & woof of God's world, while noise carries with it a dehumanizing and, at times, diabolical power. This is an Advent prayer for those who feel oppressed by the noise of this world. https://t.co/vvpSKtqIBb
