“… the Bible goes out of its way to portray the kindness of God in stark contrast to man’s total undeservedness.” — Jerry Bridges, The Fruitful Life, 101. The three primary ways in which we are tempted: 1) We can do what we want (Lust of the Flesh) 2) We can have what we want (Lust of the Eyes) 3) We can be what we want (Pride of Life) For the Gospel exists to provide sound doctrine for everyday people. We write, podcast, film, & create content to fulfill that purpose.
“Jesus's mercies make all things new. His grace is a most versatile stain remover. He redeems both the wayward and the wounded.” “Protestant theology teaches that Christ's merited righteousness cannot tolerate any human addition… Nothing will satisfy the justice of God except the eternally valid righteousness of Christ Jesus.” Joel Beeke "We cannot resist the power of remaining sin in our lives if we have not first dealt with its guilt. And the only way to do this is to continually go back to the cross and see Jesus bearing that sin and paying its penalty through His death." - Jerry Bridges. “Friends, Christ is enough to satisfy us. When we learn that, we can live with joy, even in the midst of unfulfilled longings.” “God is more ready to forgive you than you are to ask for forgiveness.” Ligon Duncan
"GOD IS WORKING, NONE OF YOUR PRAYERS WILL BE WASTED OR LEFT UNANSWERED." BEFORE YOU ASK FOR THAT KIND OF ANOINTING YOU BETTER BE SURE YOU CAN HANDLE GOING THROUGH THAT KIND OF PROCESSING! "PEOPLE ARE JEALOUS OF YOUR "HAPPILY EVER AFTER", BUT HAVE NO IDEA OF THE PAIN YOU ENDURED FROM YOUR "ONCE UPON A TIME." JUST BECAUSE YOUR CALLING IS READY DOESN'T MEAN YOUR CHARACTER IS! "BETHLEHEM WAS GOD WITH US, CALVARY WAS GOD FOR US, AND PENTECOST IS GOD IN US." "PAIN HAS TAUGHT ME TO APPRECIATE AND BE THANKFUL FOR THE THINGS THAT DON'T HURT." "PRUNING IS ALWAYS PAINFUL, BUT THE GROWTH ON THE OTHER SIDE IS BEAUTIFUL. IF GOD HAS ALLOWED IT, IT WASN'T CUT FROM YOU, BUT CUT FOR YOU!" "SIN IS LIKE A CREDIT CARD. ENJOY NOW...PAY LATER...WITH INTEREST!" "WHEN YOU HAVE NOTHING LEFT BUT GOD, YOU HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH TO START OVER AGAIN." "LIFE KNOCKED THE WIND OUT OF YOU THE LAST ROUND, BUT NOW YOU'RE WISER, YOU KNOW WHEN TO DUCK WHEN TO BLOCK, AND WHEN TO SWING BACK! STAY IN THE RING!"
