Unpopular opinion (is it?!? You tell me!): Devile

Unpopular opinion (is it?!? You tell me!):

Deviled eggs are incredible.

Happy sabbath, friends.

Did you catch last night’s IG Live with @phyliciamasonheimer? If not, it’s saved on my IGTV and it is worth your time!

If you’ve watched, what did you find most helpful? I’ll go first!

I was so encouraged that she reminded us that on third tier issues (matters of conviction and/or preference), when we don’t know exactly what we should do, the best next step is to ask God. What a joy to remember that the Spirit leads us, WANTS to lead us, and will lead us in paths of peace even regarding non-doctrinal matters like how we dress and what we wear. He doesn’t tire of our prayers. He doesn’t think us silly for praying over an outfit.

What stood out the most to you? 👇

If you've been around here for any length of time,

If you've been around here for any length of time, you have likely heard me refer to different theological topics as being “first tier issues” or “second tier issues”, etc. Since this language and approach is new to many of you, I wanted to let you know that I'm hosting an IG Live tonight to discuss what this means and how it aids my understanding of which theological hills to die on (or break fellowship over). I'll be chatting with @phyliciamasonheimer, who shares this approach and uses it in her teaching on and offline.

If you've ever wondered if you can partner with a ministry that has a different transition from you, questioned which issues are worth leaving a church over, or other similar questions that are itching at “hey, what issues are primary, what's secondary, and how do I know?” then this conversation will be a blessing to you. I just know it.

It's tonight on IG at 8:30pm ET.

This is a good body.

It’s not good because I work out to make it strong. It’s not good because it housed and grew a little life and continues to nourish her. It’s not good because kegels keep me from peeing on the elliptical. 🙈

These are good things my body can do — but what makes our bodies good?

Our bodies are good because they were formed in fashioned by the triune God, created in the community of heaven, out of the satisfaction of a three in one God, in delight and power. And that very God said that they were good.

Our bodies are good because the second person of the Trinity became flesh, dwelt among the bodies of earth in order to redeem humanity to God. Never once did he consider his human form a diminishment of his heavenly glory, never once did he announce that he had abandoned an ounce of his divinity. In the economy of heaven his very body what is the central crux of the plan of redemption. His body was good, and he insists that ours are too.

Our bodies are good because the resurrection of Christ insists that we will not escape these bodies into a spiritual existence, but will be resurrected in the same power that raised Christ from the dead. His ascension proclaims that human flesh I will once again enter the presence of God and receive welcome rather than judgment.

It’s popular to believe that our bodies are good, but if we try to ground that belief in ourselves and what our bodies can accomplish we will always find ourselves floundering. We will endlessly oscillate between believing they are good because we have done something good and believing they are not good because we have done something not good. But if the foundation of our beliefs is a belief in a triune God, a belief in the incarnated one, I believe in the resurrected in the ascended one… Well, that has some lasting power.

When you spot a new book on your husband’s quiet

When you spot a new book on your husband’s quiet time pile — a book, might I add, that I had ZERO IDEA that we had recently acquired — do you a) steal it for yourself or b) make like a martyr and wait until he’s done with it?

The road is discipleship is long, friends. 😆

A member of our church snapped this while Austin and I put together yet another piece of church furniture late on a weeknight. Those smiles are genuine. We really like each other. And we really like working together.

Go into ministry with your best friend. It’s great.
