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.

Providence

Too many people were born on third base and think they hit a triple.

Today

Plant the good seeds of righteousness and you will reap a crop of my love; plow the hard ground of your hearts, for now is the time to seek the Lord, that he may come and shower salvation upon you.

Hosea 10:12
The Living Bible

Tomorrow is never a good time to do a good thing, especially a spiritual thing, for tomorrow always seems to get blown away by the wind of today's interruptions. Do it now. Repent. Pray. Witness. Say I love you. Write a thank you note. Forgive. Apologize. Whatever good thing you have to do. Do it today.
