Online! | Re: | | "One of the reasons we are not as Christ-centered and cross-saturated as we should be is that we have not realized that everything---everything good, and everything bad that God turns for the good of his redeemed children---was purchased by the death of Christ for us. We simply take life and breath and health and friends and everything for granted. We think it is ours by right. But the fact is that it is not ours by right. We are doubly undeserving of it." -John Piper _________________ SI Moderator - Greg Gordon

Online! | Re: | | The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness (Romans 1:18)
"And nobody believes this, not even Christians, because if we did we'd cry, and when we were done crying we would go, and when we went we would tell, and we don't tell because we don't cry, and we don't go because we don't care.
Do you believe that for pagan men and women there is only a fearful expectation of judgment? That it is appointed unto men once to die and after this then comes the judgment? That it is the Bible that sets the whole world into perspective. What an awesome thing says the writer to fall into the hands of the living God. And you don't need to fall into the hands of the living God in a prospect of judgment, you can be welcomed into the arms of the living God.

| Re: | | Trying to do the Lord's work in your own strength is the most confusing, exhausting, and tedious of all work. But when you are filled with the Holy Spirit, then the ministry of Jesus just flows out of you. --Corrie ten Boom

| Re: | | True friendship is seen through the heart not through the eyes Many people will walk through our lives, but few will leave footprints on our hearts Your friend is the one who knows all about you and still likes you The best way to destroy an enemy is to make him your friend A friend is someone who sees through you and still enjoys the view.

Online! | Re: | | "Faith differs from superstition in its ground of hope. Faith rests upon character, specifically the character of God. A word is only as good as the character of the one who uttered it. Superstition counts upon a word, a text, and never thinks back of the text to the one who gave it. For the superstitious man there is a magic power in a word quite apart from the one who spoke it. The very word is magical and has only to be spoken under the right circumstances to be effective; morality or character have no place in this scheme of things. Words only count there. This in its various manifestations is a sure mark of superstition. Even in some Christian circles this ill-grounded trust in sounds and symbols is encountered all too frequently. Some believers, for instance, fear to speak the name of Jesus apart from the titles which accompany it. They dare not say Jesus, but must always say the Lord Jesus Christ, regardless of the circumstances. Obviously they believe that God is concerned with the protocol of word arrangement and will be displeased if the order is broken. Such words as amen, hallelujah, glory and others of like sacred association are repeated endlessly and meaninglessly in the apparent belief that they have in them some strange power for good. This can be no more than high-grade magic. It will pay us to search our own hearts thoroughly to discover just why we use these words." -A.W. Tozer

| Re: | | When I get to heaven, I shall see three wonders there. The first wonder will be to see many there whom I did not expect to see; the second wonder will be to miss many people who I did expect to see; and the third and greatest of all will be to find myself there.
