If the resurrection of Jesus was the culmination of God’s plan to redeem all things, then surely it has some relevance to work. If the resurrection was a world-transforming demonstration of God’s redeeming power, then it must have something to say to what we do with the majority of our time.
Many times we are more than willing to voice complaints, yet lack the resolve to get involved. Death has two stages, first the separation of the body from the spirit… for a purely spiritual existence, and second, reunion with the body and a glorious resurrection....
~Billy Graham~
I have learned to kiss the wave that slams me into the Rock of Ages. ~C.H. Spurgeon~
“The harmony between the single and the double...has been naturally so implanted in us (by whom indeed, if not by Him who created us?) that not even the illiterate can remain unaware of it.” St. Augustine
When you’ve run out of words to pray when you don’t even know what to say to God, when your heart groans with sadness and yearning, God, who raised Jesus from the dead, is with you. God knows what’s in your heart. And through his Spirit, God groans with you.
If you want to get overpowered, beaten, and bloodied, then try to be someone you are not. We can certainly learn from the example and teaching of others; however, if God wanted us to all be the same He would have given us identical hearts, characteristics, and traits
the Almighty I AM still desires to enter into covenant agreements with His people. In these agreements, He gives us more than we can imagine. However, God has high standards for us.
Let every man abide in the calling wherein he is called unless there be to him some special call from God to devote himself to the ministry.
~C.H. Spurgeon~
God has made it plain to all who earnestly seek -- in Jesus Christ we will find His righteousness. Not in ourselves or the Law, but in Jesus.
The more our culture moves away from God, the more foolish it becomes. As God’s Word states, “Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools” (Romans 1:22).
Grace is the free favor of God; peace is the condition that results from its reception.
~H.L. Goudge~
