You must make your choice: either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon, or you can fall at his feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to. ~C. S. Lewis~
“Life can only be understood backward; it must be lived forward.” —Soren Kierkegaard

People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.
Our Lord Jesus Christ called himself the Truth, not the Custom. ~Tertullian~

True revival has always begun with and resulted in separation. ~Vernon Patterson~
Scripture says we will sin and that we shouldn’t deny but should confess our sin. It also says the Bible is given to us not to make us sinless yet but to help us sinless, to be sanctified now, anticipating the day we will be glorified and forever sinless.

Who more innocent than Christ? And who more persecuted? The world is the world still. ~John Flavel~

Being part of the community of the faithful calls us to a new way of life. It calls us to submit to the Lordship of Christ. It calls us to work for justice and peace. It calls us to manifest the Kingdom in our own lives.

We must be shown God’s glory again: we must encounter it anew and afresh in the face of Jesus Christ; we must repent of our sin and turn and follow him. This season after Epiphany is about helping us see that glory anew.

Jesus has sent us out to proclaim the kingdom of God. We have the responsibility and privilege of inviting people to live under God’s authority in every part of life. As we proclaim this message, we live it, acknowledging God’s reign over all of our life.

It should be carefully noted that Jesus did not say, "I am one of the equally good ways" or "I am a better way than the others, I am an aspect of truth; I am a fragment of the life." Instead, His claim was absolute, and allegiance to Him as the Savior of the world was to take precedence over all the claims of men and religions.

Develop a relationship with a Christian brother or sister who is as different from you as the east from the west -- you will be blessed!

It’s not always easy to see interruptions as God’s sovereign plan for us, but if we don’t view them that way, we’ll end up annoyed instead of useful and grateful. We’ll resent people for interrupting us, rather than looking for divine appointments.

God made mankind in His image, and because humans are physical beings—though God is spirit—something in our bodies reflects His identity. Certainly, there’s nothing about our bodies that repulses God, who created humanity as His crowning achievement.

As there is only one God, so there can be only one gospel.
~James Denney~
You can make an effort, but God can make a way. Don’t exhaust yourself trying to force something to happen when you could be resting and trusting in what God will make happen. His way is the best way.
