There are lots of ways to spread joy to others, and social media is a creative way to do it. Tweet Inspiration is a compact treasury of inspiration, with a good dose of humor, gathered from Mark Hart's extensive collection of tweets on faith and life in general. Scattered throughout the book are call-out boxes with Mark's expanded thoughts and insights on various topics. How can you be inspired and encouraged in this short format? Here are some examples: - The command to 'love your enemies' (Lk 6:27) sure would be easier if we weren't just starting football season. ;) - You can usually tell by the look on someone's face if they woke up counting their problems or their blessings. (James 1:17) - Sssshhh. God is speaking. #Listen Whether you have an active faith that needs to be strengthened, or are seeking to establish contact with God for the first time, you will find something here to help you find the God who is already seeking you. Get ready to be surprised, inspired, and challenged-in 140 characters or less! #Youwillbeblessed.

Leseproben

.................. # .................. Everything we have—every blessing, every talent—is a gift from our Father. The only thing that’s all ours is our sin. #GodisLove .................. # .................. God will put someone in your path today who doesn’t necessarily need you...but who desperately needs Christ in you. #beprepared #love .................. # .................. If the people of Nazareth taught us anything, it’s that God could be right in front of you and you might not even recognize Him. #Eucharist .................. # .................. Christianity is not about being a “nice” person; it’s about becoming a new person (Gal 2:20). .................. # .................. This is one of the greatest misunderstandings about Christianity in the modern age. Christianity is not about behavior modification or general human platitudes. Christianity is a death to pride, selfishness, and the world. It is becoming a “little Christ” and living in a selfless way—living for others. .................. # .................. The joy of “knowing Christ” is less about us knowing Him than it is realizing (and rejoicing) that He knows, loves, and saves us (Lk 10:20-21). .................. # .................. My middle daughter—the dancing machine—just taught me how to do a “coffee grinder.” I think I just ruptured my spleen. .................. # .................. I love You, Lord. #prayitdaily #idareyou .................. # .................. If you want to live as a Christian, get comfortable with being uncomfortable. .................. # .................. St. Peter felt the need to complain before doing what the Lord asked (Lk 5:5). Wow, I’m more saintly than I originally thought. #humbling .................. # .................. Consider the manger, the cross, the empty tomb...most of God’s greatest gifts involve some suffering, sacrifice, or a sense of loss. .................. # .................. How comforting that even in those dark nights of the soul, the sanctuary candle is still burning brightly. #truepresence .................. # .................. Just keep smiling...just keep smiling...this guy’s lucky I’m a Christian...just keep smiling... .................. # .................. Living the Christian life doesn’t mean that nothing bothers you. If anything, you have an even more heightened awareness of sin—yours and others—but you refuse to be mastered by it. .................. # .................. God didn’t give us The Ten “Suggestions” (Ex 20:1-17). .................. # .................. Those souls who pick and choose which commandments they follow (i.e., missing Mass on Sundays) are not following the Lord, but themselves. God loves us too much to play word games. He gives us the Commandments for our own good, to save us from ourselves. .................. # .................. Doubting God’s love for you or whether God will provide for you (Gn 3:4-5)? Don’t. Tell the devil to go to hell...that’s where he belongs. .................. # .................. Never quite understood the whole “barbed wire” tattoo thing. When that guy’s eighty years old the barbed wire’s gonna look like a weathered picket fence. .................. # .................. Our salvation may have cost us nothing, but true discipleship costs us everything. (1 Cor 6:20; Lk 9:23) .................. # .................. Modern culture isn’t in bad shape because of what it consumes. Modern culture is in bad shape because it’s so consumed with self. .................. # .................. “Tolerance” does not render objective truth untrue. The Gospel is not politically correct. Political correctness crucifies Truth. .................. # .................. Some are labeled “bigots” for speaking difficult Gospel truths. The fact is that not to share truth is the sin. Christ is clear: “When your brother sins, rebuke him and when he repents, forgive him” (Luke 17:3). .................. # .................. God laughs and weeps...He even whistles (Ps 2:4; Jn 11:35; Is 5:26). He knows what it is to be human & can handle anything you throw at Him. .................. # .................. Today, God intends to make you a great saint...if you let Him. Don’t run. Don’t squirm. Just lean into grace. .................. # .................. You know the funny thing about sin? God doesn’t (Lk 12:4-5; Rom 6:23). .................. # .................. Wow! Apparently Gloria Estefan was right...this morning the rhythm did, indeed, get me. .................. # .................. Twitter’s great for figuring out which souls following you have a sense of humor and which had a humor-ectomy at some point. #prayforthem .................. # .................. SEX! Okay, now that I have your attention...God loves you. Never. forget. it. #JesusChristisLord .................. # .................. In the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus offers more than God’s personal email or private cell number—He offers us a heart transplant. #PerfectPrayer .................. # .................. If God did everything my way—according to my plans—well then He really wouldn’t be God. #Trust .................. # .................. Many struggle with this reality. For countless souls, God is more of a genie who is supposed to do their bidding or a lucky rabbit’s foot you go to when in need. Unless we submit to God’s authority, He really isn’t God, is He? .................. # .................. Lord, we both know that I need you more than You need me. So, thank You for the blood and the water. #Savior .................. # .................. Life’s too short not to tell the people you love how you feel. Say it...and say it often. Oh, and start with God—1 John 4:19. .................. # .................. If you refuse to change, what are you giving the Lord permission to do, really? .................. # .................. For Christians the question isn’t whether or not God exists or if Christ is Lord—the question is how deeply those truths change your life. .................. # .................. What did all the saints have in common? They feared sin more than even physical death. Sin is the worst kind of death (Rom 6:23). .................. # .................. Living out virtue often feels like you’re doing a 100-yard dash... in a 90-yard gym. Run anyway. .................. # .................. Oh, how thunderous the applause must be in heaven, all those times we are mocked on earth...for the sake of His Name (Mt 5:11-12). .................. # .................. No sin is bigger than mercy. No sin. #DivineMercy .................. # .................. In Scripture when Christ tells us about “the unforgivable sin,” it means the sin we don’t ask forgiveness for, that pride is the sin against the Holy Spirit, not allowing God to forgive you (Mark 3:29). .................. # .................. Sunday doesn’t just prepare us for the week ahead—it prepares us for eternity. #tasteofHeaven .................. # .................. If your words are not better than silence...be silent. #virtue .................. # .................. It breaks my heart when couples focus more on being wed than being married. Two becoming one doesn’t happen without work, humility & sacrifice. .................. #...
