In the Midst...

In the midst of the sorrows is consolation, in the midst of the darkness is light, in the midst of the despair is hope, in the midst of Babylon is a glimpse of Jerusalem, and in the midst of the army of demons is the consoling angel. ~ Henry Nouwen

Christmas Is God's Way of Saying...

Solutions...

There are a good many problems before the American people today, and before me as president, but I expect to find the solution to those problems just in the proportion that I am faithful in the study of the Word of God. 

~ Woodrow Wilson

Christmas Is a Necessity

As a year wanes and the lights of Christmas are dimmed, may we remember Emmanuel. He is our permanent gift. ~ Perry

What HE Is...

Christ became what we are that He might make us what He is.

~ Athanasius of Alexandria

Obedience...

And to expose our hearts to truth and consistently refuse or neglect to obey the impulses it arouses is to stymie the motions of life within us and, if persisted in, to grieve the Holy Spirit into silence. ~ A.W. Tozer

...The Gospel Story...

I just cannot read the Gospel story without knowing that I am being sought out in love, being called to life's most sacred task, being offered life's highest prize.... But I am not now arguing. I am only confessing. ~ John Baillie

God's Holiness...

His Smile of Love

We see His smile of love even when others see nothing but the black hand of Death smiting our best beloved. ~ Charles Spurgeon

Until We Meet Again...

Christians never say "good-bye" just "until we meet again."

~ Woodrow Kroll

Christ Is Stronger...

Whatever the world has done to you.
Christ is stronger than the world and
will set you free.

Death Is...

For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity. ~ William Penn

No Coddling...

Oh for substantial Christians that don’t need coddling and nursing and running after all the time; being pandered to to get them to go on or stand up. Men and women like cedars of Lebanon; like the hewn stones – weighty, accountable, and responsible to carry weight – and all that is meant by strength.  
~ T. Austin-Sparks

Answer to Death...

Eternity...

If I cannot find the face of Jesus in the face of those whom I regard as enemies, if I cannot find him in the unbeautiful and damaged, if I cannot find him in those who have the “wrong ideas,” if I cannot find him in the poor and the defeated, then how will I find him in bread and wine or in the life after death? If I do not reach out in this world to those with whom he has identified, why do I imagine that I will want to be with him, and them, in heaven? Why would I want to be for all eternity in the company of those I avoided every day of my life? — Jim Forest

Grace...

Magnify the Lord

A sure sign of the Holy Spirit's working is that Christ is magnified, not people. ~ Francis Chan

HIS Words...

Study and do your best to present yourself to God approved, a workman [tested by trial] who has no reason to be ashamed, accurately handling and skillfully teaching the word of truth. ~ 2 Timothy 2:15 (AMP)

Don't Force...

We attempt to force what God hasn't endorsed.

~ Charlotte Gambill

Advent Season...

As we move into this Advent season, let us remember with thanksgiving that Christ was born to show us how to live and to give us the opportunity to be reconciled to God and one another. What will we need to let go of to prepare room in our hearts, our lives, our work and our play for Christ? Will we be ready this year for Christmas? ~ Kate Lasso
