Change

Faced with the choice between changing one's mind and proving there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof.

John Kenneth Galbraith

Control

You can't control the length of your life, but you can control its width and depth. You can't control the contour of your face, but you can control its expression. You can't control the weather, but you can control the atmosphere of your mind. Why worry about things you can't control when you can keep yourself busy controlling the things that depend on you?

Sin

“Sin is the dare of God's justice, the rape of His mercy, the jeer of His patience, the slight of His power, and the contempt of His love”

John Bunyan

Quiet Time

Do not have your concert first and tune your instruments afterwards. Begin the day with God.

James Hudson Taylor

Who's In Charge

As the inhabitants of a singal speck of dirt hurtling through space at sixty thousand miles per hour around a nameless star that is one among billions of stars in a galaxy that is also one among billions, we humans get it. We're not in charge.

Oliver Thomas


The LORD has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all.

Psalm 103:19

Passions

What if, in getting what we want, we become someone that God doesn’t want?

J.W.F.


Be careful what desires you allow to make their home in your heart. We are what our desires make of us.


Psalm 51

9 Hide your face from my sins
and blot out all my iniquity.

10 Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

11 Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.

12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
