Worth repeating from the Twitterverse

I am only a recent convert to Twitter, but my brief time in the Twitterverse has been profitable. I don't tweet much, but I am being challenged and encouraged by many of the tweets from those I follow. I find the pithy comments often to be full of grace and truth.

Below are some tweets by people I am following from the last four days. All these folks are worth following.

"Preachers and Parents: External life change may happen if you give law, but internal life change only happens when you give grace." -- Tullian Tchividjian

"Jesus not only bore your punishment, but he also became your righteousness; both establishing your acceptance with the Father." -- Paul David Tripp

"Believer your standing rests securely not on the consistency of your performance, but on the perfection of Christ's righteousness." -- Paul David Tripp

"Grace never comes as a consequence of our righteousness; it comes as a contradiction to our sin." -- Tullian Tchividjian

"So many Christians protect themselves from inconvenience as though inconvenience is deadly. Fight back!" -- Tim Challies

"Our pursuit of holiness is too often motivated by how we want to see ourselves; driven by a longing to improve our self-image." -- Tullian Tchividjian

"A robust ecclesiology would encourage moms that going to church isn't 'pointless' even if they miss hearing most of the sermon b/c of baby." -- Gloria Furman (And, I would add, the same is true for those who serve in the nursery. -- Tom Strode)

"Corporate worship is designed to make you thankful, not just for possessions and accomplishments, but for what you've been given in Christ." -- Paul David Tripp

"We need to give up trying to live the Christian life on our own." -- Mark Dever

"God is seen to be supreme by the depth and passion of our esteem." -- John Piper

"God's demand: 'be righteous.' God's diagnosis: 'no one is righteous.' God's deliverance: 'Jesus is our righteousness.'" -- Tullian Tchividjian
