A church that isn’t focused on Jesus, is like a hospital without a doctor

Even when it seems like there’s no way out, God is working it all out for good.

Paul tells us no one is condemned to eternity in "jail" -- regardless of the "luck" (or rather divine design) of our ancestry -- we are all Abraham's offspring and therefore inheritors of God's promises to him. Our birthplace or lineage doesn't matter. We all are equal before God. And all means all -- whether born with a silver spoon in our mouth and a Christian heritage, or a red dot on our forehead and into the Hindu culture -- none of it matters to God.
Each of us is equal before God. We must all make the decision to believe God's promise or reject Him.

Our high and privileged calling is to do the will of God in the power of God for the glory of God.
~J.I. Packer~
...God put us on this journey called life. We came from Him, and our greatest joy will come from giving ourselves back to Him and learning to walk with Him every day until we return to Him.
~Billy Graham~
We cannot expect the world to believe that the Father sent the Son, that Jesus’ claims are true and that Christianity is true unless the world sees some reality of the oneness of the true Christians.
~Frances Schaeffer~
Allowing ourselves, to be honest, and real, we can let God take all that pain and sorrow—all the messiness of life— and transform them into His blessing, His healing, His life lessons, His plan of redemption for our lives.

“We yield our concept of a plan to the One who creates the plan which no man can understand. His plan is not dependent upon our understanding—he will work regardless of our cooperation, but we are wholly blessed when we place our future into his hands.” –
James & Kaylee
It can be pretty scary when we add anything extra or place conditions upon God's grace. What God wants of us is faith, belief, and trust in Him and the work He has already done. That's enough for me.

Revival is a renewed conviction of sin and repentance, followed by an intense desire to live in obedience to God. It is giving up one’s will to God in deep humility.

John Piper
God has promised we have already won the greatest prize of all: eternal life.

Waiting is not just something we have to do until we get what we want. Waiting is part of the process of becoming what God wants us to be.

The more power you have, the more you must exercise it with kindness.

This pride of yours must be given up, and you must get away to God, or perish forever. You must forget yourself, or only remember yourself so as to feel that you are bad throughout, and no more worthy to be called God’s son." -
Charles Spurgeon
If you are still unconverted, thank God that you are still not in hell.
~Andrew Murray~
“...we are highly resolved that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government, by the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
~Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg Address, 1863~
Dr. Karl Menninger said, “Love is the key to the entire therapeutic program of the modern psychiatric hospital.”
“Joy is love exalted; peace is love in repose; long-suffering is love enduring; gentleness is love in society; goodness is love in action; faith is love on the battlefield; meekness is love in school, and temperance is love in training.”
—Dwight L. Moody
