    @carol_mcclain “Not that we dare to classify or compare ourselves with some of those who are commending themselves.

    @carol_mcclain Poverty defined most of my life. I was the oldest of six children, and still I wore hand-me-downs from the daughter of my mother’s best friend.

    @carol_mcclai n Over the past few months, we’ve looked at four mighty women in Jesus’s genealogy. All lived sinful or abused or despised lives. Despite their reputations and upbringing, each woman defied society’s definition of her life and left a legacy for Christ. Who are you? Tamar–Jacob believed she killed his sons. He deceived Tamar when …[ read more ]

        @carol_mcclain "Don't be drunk with wine, be filled with the Spirit!" 1 Cor.5:18 According to John Piper, how do we get drunk with wine? We drink it. Lots of it. So how do we get drunk with the Holy Spirit? Immerse yourself in God. Drink in lots of Him. Read your Scriptures. Pray. Sing Psalms and hymns and contemporary Christian music. Listen to edifying Christian stations. Avoid our entertainment that celebrates sinful behavior--alcohol, sex, foul language. Hang out with practicing, like-minded Christians. Go to church.
