Between my teething, insomniac son and my seething, ergomaniac preaching lab (wink, wink), I haven’t had time to post much in the last week. Coming up are the last couple pieces in the Church Planting with Small Groups series… But for the moment, here’s a favorite G.K. Chesterton quote:

It is always simple to fall; there are an infinity of angles at which one falls, only one at which one stands… In my vision, the heavenly chariot flies thundering through the ages, the dull heresies sprawling and prostrate, the wild truth reeling but erect. - G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy

Gist: The gospel advances faster when we avoid even the “little” heresies.

We have as much control over “in a minute” as we do over a random moment in the next millenium, so our best bet is to pray, then happily flail away:

The next moment is as much beyond our grasp, and as much in God’s care, as that a hundred years away. Care for the next minute is just as foolish as care for a day in the next thousand years. In neither can we do anything, in both God is doing everything. - C.S. Lewis
