Christ Is Stronger...

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

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
