It is difficult to find a man who truly hates Jesus; it is all too easy to find a man who despises his fictional notion of who Jesus is. There will be deep regret on the last day when the wicked meet the true Jesus in full, who will be nothing like they imagined Him to be. The weeping of the lost will erupt when they finally see the true beauty of the Jesus they rejected, devastated by the scope of their loss. -David Sliker

Jesus must smile when we use the mind He gave us to doubt Him or the power of judgment He gave us to question the justice of how He governs. -Stephen Venable
Monday, July 16, 2012
We must determine to go as hard after Jesus as grace will allow, not negotiate standards to determine how close to the line we can live. Beautiful grace brings glorious liberty to be abandoned to wholehearted love, now free to give all for the One who liberated us. -David Sliker

Regular Bible reading is good, but regular Bible reading and conversation with its Author about what you're reading is really what He's after. -Joshua Hawkins
Saturday, July 14, 2012

Monday, July 02, 2012
The knowledge of God; the beauty of Jesus is the foundational sustenance for 24/7 worship and prayer. Pray Eph. 1:16-19. -Daniel Lim
Sunday, July 01, 2012
The mystery of an omnipotent God who sends messengers to invite guests to a wedding rather than command by force speaks volumes about Him. He has all power, yet He invites - and His invitation is: "Come to the wedding of My Son and His Bride"; He loves romance, love, and beauty. He is the Creator and Sustainer of All Things, and yet He delights when humans play a role in shaping reality, culture, and the world around them. His name is "Wonderful"; thus every king should joyfully submit to His leadership; yet He is also "Counselor": He comes alongside to serve. -David Sliker
