This week’s Twitter Thoughts–2/13/2012

A lot of what I used to post on Facebook actually came through my Twitter feed. They were some of the most thought-provoking or inspiring one-liners that I posted. I often heard back from friends about how convicting they were and so I will keep it up on this blog, but I will only do it once per week so I don’t flood the blogosphere with multiple one-liner blog posts. Here are the best of this week’s Twitter Thoughts:

Heaven is not for people who are scared of hell, it's for people who love God (By @danrutty)

Baptized parents are either Lost, Converts, or Disciples. Tell Converts that most of their children will live like the Lost as adults. (@richardaross)

Peace is not the absence of affliction, but the presence of God (@lovlikeJesus)

Nothing we can do can change God's faithfulness but greater obedience can bring greater blessing & better rewards in heaven. (@SYMsoulcare)

"Trusting God always involves having some unanswered questions in your life." (@JoyceMeyer)

Faith leads to obedience, and unbelief leads to disobedience. J. Vernon McGee: Thru the #Bible Commentary: (Mine)

Anything that is contrary to the character and will of God is sin, regardless of what it is. McGee: Thru the #Bible Commentary (Mine)

we live in God’s universe; breathe His air & enjoy His sun. He never sends a bill 4 it or the life He gave us We owe Him & we r 2 obey Him. (Mine)

"I'll ACT loving when I FEEL it" is backwards. Act your way into feeling. Dont wait to feel before acting. #RickLoveAdvice7

Love CREATES emotion,but love isnt a feeling.Love is a CHOICE. If u act loving the,feelings will return. #RickLoveAdvice6

If there was more courting in marriages there'd be fewer marriages in court. Date your mate. #RickLoveAdvice

You spell love T.I.M.E. How you use your time reveals what you love. #RickLoveAdvice

Given the right situation,any 2 people can fall in love, but marriage requires far more than love to work #RickLoveAdvice14

Ultimately the question that will identify you as a fan or follower isn't what you say or what you do. Those things matter, but only to the extent that they reflect the answer to this question: Do I know Jesus and does He know me? (@Iamnotafan)
“It's necessary to understand that God isn't going to replace suffering with glory; rather He will transform suffering into glory.” -Chuck Swindoll (@Iamnotafan)
Jesus identifies His true followers based upon an intimate relationship. What we say and what we do overflows out of the relationship we have with Him. (@iamnotafan)

When Jesus walked by, would you have clamored for benefits from Him--or would you have left everything to follow Him? And today? (@richardaross)

Jesus DIDNT give his life for you so you could keep livng for yourself! (2 Cor.5:15 = a purpose driven life) (@RickWarren)

'He died for ALL, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them" 2 Cor.5:15 (@RickWarren)

The time is rapidly approaching when each one is going to have to make their choice, Christ or the world. God is asking, what's it gonna be? (@women_of_Christ)

"Mountaintops are for views and inspiration, but fruit is grown in the valleys" -Billy Graham (@WorldVisionUSA)
