Josh Hawkins: No matter how much I meditate on it in this age, I think I'm going to be shocked when I see a human sitting on the throne in heaven.

Corey Russell: If we quote God's words then God's ability will be released. If we quote the devil and his lies, then his ability will be released

Stephen Venable: God doesn't exist to ensure comfort for our bodies. Our bodies exist to glorify God.(1 Cor 6:20) That includes imprisonment & death. Phil 1:20

Bob Sorge: God’s not on trial in your wilderness, you are. God’s faithfulness has been proven over the centuries, you’re the one who’s unproven.

The cross surfaces everybody’s loyalties. You cannot remain neutral before the cross. The cross forces everyone to choose sides.
1. Judas showed his loyalty was only to himself.
2. The loyalty of the eleven was tested to the max, and although they stumbled, they still loved Jesus and so were preserved.
3. The chief priests showed themselves loyal to their own standing in the nation.
4. Pilate, when having to choose between loyalty to Christ and loyalty to Caesar, chose Caesar without hesitation (John 19:12-13).
5. Jesus demonstrated His loyalty to His Father, even in His hour of utter forsakenness. The cross is the ultimate symbol of loyalty.

Stephen Venable: For Jesus to truly be supreme in worship, preaching, community, lifestyle & mission is the most revolutionary vision possible for His Church

"The cross is the crux, the crossroads, the twisted knot at the center of reality to which all previous history leads and from which all subsequent history flows." - Peter J. Leithart

We must stop using the fact that we cannot earn grace as an excuse for not energetically seeking to receive grace. (Dallas Willard)
