“When we lose one blessing, another is often most unexpectedly given in its place.” -
C.S. Lewis
"Let go of the idea of winning or losing. In the game of life, the most important thing is just showing up and doing your best."
Jesus' death actually accomplished something. He didn't die for "an opportunity" for all mankind. No. Jesus literally EXCHANGED His sheep's SIN for His Righteousness; and He took their punishment - every single drop of God's JUST WRATH.
“All these toys were never intended to possess my heart. My true good is in another world, and my only real treasure is Christ.” -
C.S. Lewis
"If you can lie down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone’s day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day."
I hope to die like the thief upon the cross. I have no hope, no comfort in myself.

Idolatry is when you become the source of your own joy.
Paul Washer
If you seek first to please God and are satisfied therein, you have but one to please instead of multitudes; and a multitude of masters are harder to please than one. -
Richard Baxter
"Many an hour is wasted in idle talk, many an evening frittered away in foolish amusements, degrading to Christians when the time might be occupied in exercises calculated to bring down untold blessings upon the family and upon the church." -
Charles Spurgeon
Shallow theology produces shallow worship. We can’t worship a God we don’t know.
"True friends are those rare people who come to find you in dark places and lead you back to the light."
“Take a moment and marvel at this. Jesus is alive. He reigns in heaven and He rules over your church. And He exerts that kingly authority in your church through the Scriptures. Jesus’s subjects obey Him today by obeying those Scriptures.” -
Jeremie Rinne
"We should cultivate the ability to say no to activities for which we have no time, no talent, and which we have no interest or real concern. If we learn to say no to many things, then we will be able to say yes to the things that matter most." -
Roy Blauss
"Read the Bible as if it’s all about you and it will be dark and confusing. Read the Bible knowing it’s about Jesus and it’s light and cheering and wonderful." -
Mike Reeves
"Scripture’s concern or focal point is readily presented as the redemptive story of God. It displays a progressively more specific identification of that story, culminating in the gospel of Jesus Christ." -
James Patrick Callahan
"Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it." -
Ziad K. Abdelnour
Are you rich in knowledge because of your commitment to Christ in, scholarship, apologetics, and schooling, or have you been robbed by the demands of neutrality? -

“Why would we want fame, when Christ promises us glory?”
We can continue to argue about gun laws and mental health but the issue is
SIN and the answer are JESUS.
Our extremities are God’s opportunities.
~C.H. Spurgeon~
The price of freedom may be high, but never so costly as the loss of freedom.
~Ronald Reagan~
Those who have lost loved ones feel that every day is Memorial Day. Consider the freedoms we have gained as Christians. Death and sin have been defeated by Christ. He paid the ultimate price by dying on the Cross for our sins.
Raul Ries
Memorial Day is a day to remember those who served us, those whom God provided to give us freedom. A day to help us thank God for our blessings, and to never forget. A day for memorials so that we can tell our children about the sacrifices of others, and the goodness of the Lord.
Ray Bently
~Max on Life
The purpose of impossible dreams is to show the world that an incredible, unbelievable God still exists, and He works in the lives of people.
When we get to the end of ourselves, we get to the beginning of God.
~Alan Redpath~
The Lord has given many promises to Israel that is also true for a sinner who repents. The walls of their broken life can be rebuilt: “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness, I have drawn you. Again I will build you, and you shall be rebuilt...” (Jeremiah 31:3-4).
Raul Ries
“Lighthouses don’t fire guns or ring bells to call attention to their light, they just shine.” —Sherwood E. Wirt
