Wow! Want to know about the roots of the USA? Watch this.
… This makes me proud to be an American :) May we remember where we came from.
"‘Mission’ arises, then, from the biblical doctrine of the church in the world. If we are not ‘the church,’ the holy and distinct people of God, we have nothing to say because we are compromised. If, on the other hand, we are not ‘in the world,’ deeply involved in its life and suffering, we have no one to serve because we are insulated. Our calling is to be ‘holy’ and ‘worldly’ at the same time. Without this balanced biblical ecclesiology we will never recover or fulfill our mission"
The Living Church by John Stott
this passage totally describes the conflict I feel as a Christian… I don’t want to be so spiritual that I’m no earthly good or too involved in the world where I become numb to the righteousness of God… I guess another life long task we must always be figuring out is the BALANCE of the two. Obvious thing is… the root of what we do must glorify God and not ourselves, regardless of where we are on this scale.
Got this except from Living Life devos :) if you have it- isn’t it good!?
wow. this is amazing. sometimes… we need an earthquake in our lives to know how much we need God. He is soverign and His master plan is beyond me.
Give me one pure and holy passion
Give me one magnificent obsession
Give me one glorious ambition for my life
To know and follow hard after You
To know and follow hard after You
To grow as Your disciple in the truth
This world is empty, pale and poor
Compared to knowing You, my Lord
Lead me on and I will run after You
Lead me on and I will run after You
wow. technology is SO advanced… this movie was amazing!
“because thou has kept the word of My patience” - Rev 3:10
Patience is more than endurance. A saint’s life is in the hands of God like a bow and arrow in the hands of an archer. God is aiming at something the saint cannot see, and He stretches and strains, and every now and again the saint says- “I cannot stand any more.” God does not heed, He goes on stretching till His PURPOSE is IN SIGHT, then He lets fly. TRUST YOURSELF IN GOD’S HANDS. For what have you need of patience just now? Maintain your relationship to Jesus Christ by the patience of faith. ”Though He slay me, yet will I wait for Him.”
Faith is NOT a pathetic sentiment, but a ROBUST VIGOROUS CONFIDENCE built on the fact that God is holy love. You cannot see Him just now, you cannot understand what He is doing, but you KNOW Him. Shipwreck occurs where there is not the mental poise which comes from being ESTABLISHED on the eternal truth that God is holy love. Faith is the heroic effort of your life, you fling yourself in RECKLESS CONFIDENCE on GOD.
God has ventured all in Jesus Christ to save us, now He wants US to venture OUR ALL in abandoned confidence in HIM. There are spots where that faith has not worked in us as yet, places untouched by the life of God. There were NONE of those spots in Jesus Christ’s life, and there are to be none in ours. ”This is life eternal, that they might know Thee.” The real meaning of eternal life is a life that can face anything it has to face without wavering. If we take this view, life becomes a great romance, a glorious opportunity for seeing marvelous things ALL THE TIME. God is disciplining us to get into this CENTRAL PLACE OF POWER.
I saw this a while ago and I still think its funny.
