Thank You, Jesus!

Who He Is?

"If there be any truer measure of a man than by what he does, it must be what he gives." ~ Robert South

Final Say

"No matter how bleak the current circumstances, evil and death do not have the final say." ~ K. Brower

Lessen the Tide...

Forgive us if this day we have done or said anything to increase the pain of the world. Pardon the unkind word, the impatient gesture, the hard and selfish deed, the failure to show sympathy and kindly help where we had the opportunity, but missed it; and enable us so to live that we may daily do something to lessen the tide of human sorrow, and add to the sum of human happiness. ~ Frederick Brotherton (F. B.) Meyer

Biblical Gospel

The modern-day gospel says, “God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life. Therefore, follow these steps, and you can be saved.” Meanwhile, the biblical gospel says, “You are an enemy of God, dead in your sin, and in your present state of rebellion, you are not even able to see that you need life, much less to cause yourself to come to life. Therefore, you are radically dependent on God to do something in your life that you could never do.” The former sells books and draws crowds. The latter saves souls."

~ Radical, David Platt

Willing to die for the Bible?

‎"If you are not willing to die for what is in the Bible, you should not give money for Bibles. Because if you give, we will smuggle more Bibles. And if we smuggle more Bibles, there will be more martyrs." ~ Pastor Richard Wurmbrand, VOM Founder

Admit Your Mistakes...

‎"A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them." ~ John C. Maxwell

Can I Get a Witness?

"Being a witness—sharing the gospel and spreading scriptural holiness—requires prayer. It requires faith. It requires the Word." ~ D. Graves 2012 BGS Annual Report

True Form

"Nothing is yet in its true form." ~ C. S. Lewis

Mentor and Disciple

"People have mentored and discipled me, sometimes without realizing their impact. I am eternally grateful to those who, in spite of my flaws, sought to see the best in me for His sake." ~ M. Ellen

Prayer Is...

Prayer is not a way of making use of God; prayer is a way of offering ourselves to God in order that He should be able to make use of us. ~ Barclay

Ears to Hear and Eyes to See

Lord, give me ears to hear Your voice and eyes to see You working in my life. I have stilled and quieted my heart, and I desire to hear You speaking to me throughout this day. Speak Lord, I am listening! ~ D. Graves (Repost from Facebook)
*** See Psalm 139 and allow Him to search your heart.

Love God & His People ~ All of Them

Do you know that nothing you do in this life will ever matter, unless it is about loving God and loving the people he has made? ~ Chan *** Check out the Joshua Project and pray for the unreached.

Stealth Prayer

"Stealth prayer. It is extremely powerful. I was on staff at a youth retreat many years ago as a part of a secret team, working behind the scenes. Part of my task was to pray for the participants throughout the entire weekend as they strove to get closer to God. I sat in this upper room, praying and working, undistracted by the actions and movement of anyone else. Because I was shut away from the action, I focused on prayer, on talking to God, on praying for God’s presence. And I felt it. This behind-closed-doors stealth prayer was seen and felt way beyond the reaches of that upper room. Prayer is about being with God, and it is really difficult to do that when you are showing others how hard you are praying, or you are distracted by the world around you." ~ Shannon Kelly
