"What we are afraid to do before men, we should be afraid to think before God."                   
- Anonymous

"To believe a thing is to see the cool crystal water sparkling in the cup. But to meditate on it is to drink of it. Reading gathers the clusters; contemplation squeezes forth their generous juice."
- C. H. Spurgeon

Meditation

"The love for our enemies takes us along the way of the cross and into fellowship with the Crucified. The more we are driven along this road, the more certain is the victory of love over the enemy's hatred. For then it is not the disciple's own love, but the love of Jesus Christ alone, who for the sake of his enemies went to the cross and prayed for them as he hung there."
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer

"God wants us to have love. We must be careful not to settle for sex."
- Max Anders

"The one who loves Biblically is no Pollyanna; he recognizes the waywardness of the heart. However, he also recognizes God's power to change the same heart. Love is anchored ultimately in God, not in a rose-tinted view of the innate virtue of others."
- Doug McIntosh, The Golden Rule - Love Full Circle, p. 44

"Christian love draws no distinction between one enemy and another, except that the more bitter our enemy's hatred, the greater his need of love."
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Saving Wretches Like You

It is hard to sing some songs the way they were written. They just go against our grain. Few folk today want to sing John Newton’s Amazing Grace the way he wrote it: “that saved a wretch like me.” Or how about Isaac Watts’ hymn that includes the line, “for such a worm as I”? […]

Are You a God Pleaser…? (Part 1)

Do you ever watch television shows like “American Idol?” What about shows like “The Great Race” or “Survivor?” Personally, I’m tired of all these “reality” shows where you have to make deals with people so you can eventually rip them off, take the money and run. I’m also weary of watching untalented people who think […]

It is unfortunate that the “corporation concept” of leadership has taken over in many Christian organizations, including churches. Jesus had this to say […]
