Real Rebellion

'Drinking beer is easy. Trashing your hotel room is easy. But being a Christian, that's a tough call. That's real rebellion.'
Alice Cooper

The Bridge Of Forgiveness

He who doesn't forgive another, Breaks down the bridge over which he must cross himself!

Are You Paying Interest?

Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength. It does not enable us to escape evil. It makes us unfit to face evil when it comes. It is the interest you pay on trouble before it comes.
Corrie ten Boom

"The way to worry about nothing is to pray about everything"

Experience

Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn. C S Lewis

An Atheist & God

An atheist can't find God for the same reason a thief can't find a policeman.

Blesson: A Blessing In A Painful Lesson

My new word: "Blesson." It's when you're able to view painful lessons as blessings. A blesson is what happens when you see the blessing in the lesson that your challenge taught you.
Karen Salmansohn

We Must Be Watchful

We must be watchful, especially in the beginning of the temptation. The enemy is then more easily overcome, if he is not permitted in any wise to enter the door of our hearts, but is resisted without the gate at his first knock...First there comes to the mind a bare thought of evil, then a strong imagination thereof, afterward delight, and an evil motion, and then consent. And so little by little our wicked enemy gets complete entrance, because he is not resisted in the beginning. And the longer a man is slow to resist, so much the weaker does he become daily in himself, and the enemy stronger against him.

Thomas a Kempis

Helpless & Weak

Sometimes I feel so helpless and weak. I think that is why God uses me'. – Mother Teresa

Become The Right Person!

The first command in Ephesians 5 tells us to be imitators of God by reflecting the way he loves us. Our love for others flows out of our sense of being deeply loved. Instead of constantly looking for the right person, God tells us to become the right person. Instead of looking for love, God tells us to realise that love has already found us! God loves as no one else ever can.

It Takes Just A Little...

It Takes Just A Little… It takes so little to make us sad, Just a slighting word or a doubting sneer, Just a scornful smile on some lips held dear; And our footsteps lag, though the goal seemed near, And we lose the courage and hope we had- So little it takes to make us sad.

It takes so little to make us glad, Just a cheering clasp of a friendly hand, Just a word from one who can understand; And we finish the task we long had planned, And we lose the doubt and the fear we had- So little it takes to make us glad. ~ Ida Goldsmith Morris

A World We Didn't Make

The Hebrew evening/morning sequence conditions us to the rhythms of grace. We go to sleep, and God begins his work...We wake into a world we didn't make, into a salvation we didn't earn.
Eugene Peterson

Hand It Over To God

To take all that we are and have and hand it over to God may not be easy; but it can be done; and when it is done, the world has in it one less candidate for misery.
Paul Scherer

He Cannot Make A Worm

Man is certainly stark mad; he cannot make a worm, and yet he will be making gods by the dozen.
Michel de Montaigne

Don't Undervalue Yourself

Don't undervalue yourself. Your worth is what you are worth to God and that is a massive amount; Jesus valued you enough to die for you! ~ Nicky Gumbel

How Is Your Fear?

The remarkable thing about fearing God is that when you fear God you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God you fear everything else.
Oswald Chambers

Is God Happy With Your Everyday Life?

If God does not enter your kitchen, there is something wrong with your kitchen. If you can't take God into your recreation, there is something wrong with your play. We all believe in the God of the heroic. What we need most these days is the God of the humdrum, the commonplace, the everyday.
Peter Marshall

Reveal Your Own Character

You reveal your own character most clearly when you describe someone else’s.

Worship Is…..

Worship is our response, both personal and corporate, to God for who He is! and what He has done! Expressed in and by the things we say and the way we live. ~ Louie Giglio

Lighthouses Don't Fire Cannons

We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won't need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don't fire cannons to call attention to their shining- they just shine.
