Insider-baseball to church staff members on Christmas Week: There can be a temptation (especially if your church has lots of extra Christmas services) for church staff to be a little discouraged and wish they were home this week. I can't encourage you strongly enough to

It's Christ or chaos. There is no way out of the death spiral our culture is in outside of repentance unto the Father. Yes, there is a radical moral asymmetry between the moral visions of the modern Right and Left, so that there is no such thing as "Christ-full progressivism."

As a younger man, I used to (secretly) think this. "Get kids out of the way as fast as possible > empty nest > travel." Then... 1) At my Dad's 60th birthday party a large group of empty nest adults were asked to say what year of their lives they wish they could re-live to
Not having kids is a life hack. I spend my summers in Europe, take cross-country road trips, and disappear off-grid on weekends. The money Iโd spend on kids goes to investing, experiences, and freedom. Different priorities. Different definition of rich.

Billy Graham Rule adherent here Whenever I mention it some push back on it and hate it, but guess who loves it? Jana and my church that doesn't have to worry about me having an affair.
My college head coach had a personal rule that he would never be alone with a woman, not even in an elevator. Some people thought it was weird, unnecessary or overly pious. He considered it a guard rail for himself to honor his wife, his faith and his responsibility to everyone

OBJECTION: "Josh, why post something like this? Even if it's true, as a pastor focus on things that feel more loving." ^^^have received that from well-meaning pastors and friends RESPONSE: During the Woke Era I started noticing that sloppy misuses of Scripture were being used
You're going to see Jesus selectively-edited for political purposes like this a lot in the coming days. Few things to remember... 1. Jesus never broke immigration laws 2. Jesus did not โimmigrateโ: He left Nazareth (in the Roman Empire) to go to Egypt (also in the Roman Empire)
