More than just breaking bread

This verse may be in every kitchen in America! Many know this verse. At least the “broke bread & ate together” part. I’m betting you’re like me-I sometimes read only part of a verse & miss the beauty of the entire verse. Look at the end of this verse-it tells us HOW they broke bread & ate. They were together “WITH GLAD & SINCERE HEARTS”. They were living in kindness & humility toward one another thereby saturating their mealtime with God-given love! This is the kind of potluck that refreshes God’s people. ❤️ #bookofActs#magnoliamarket #kitchen #art #fellowship #friendship #familymeal

Tyndale, Luther, Moody, Spurgeon

True confessions-I’m a church history nerd. Christian biographies, missionary stories, & the events that formed to our faith in encouraging me so! This summer, I had one goal: to read to my kids about these pillars of faith. William Tyndale-thanks to his bravery, we have a bible in our own language! Martin Luther-the pivotal figure behind the doctrine of “faith alone in Christ alone”, D.L. Moody -the rough shoe salesman turned evangelist who lit America on fire, & Charles Spurgeon-the British “boy preacher” who saw thousands come to Christ! It’s humbling to experience the lineage of these sacrificial servants -they’ve given us much!! #tyndale #luther #moody #spurgeon

Sandblasted?

My friend @ann_huffines gave me this great reminder . Notice the pearl is sitting on a piece of sandpaper. There’s practically no way to miss this message: A pearl is only shiny after it’s been refined, sandblasted, & polished to its designed purpose. Beauty only comes with exfoliation. Are you going thru some sandblasting? Take heart-your trial is not designed to harm you but to help you. Ask God to help you. He wants the world to see you the way He does-complete & beautiful! #pearl #refinery #pain#hope #god #flashthosepearlywhites ❤️ — with Ann Gray Huffines.
