This is my success 

to love You and be loved by You 

-Katie Reed

Right now there is a real man in a glorified body in the hights of heaven who will descend to earth and take residence. His name is Jesus -Stephen Venable

As the fish Jonah, so death found Jesus not to be its food, but its poison; and he was vomited up in death's death throes. -John Piper

Upon a life I did not live, upon a death I did not die, I risk my whole eternity on the resurrection.” -Spurgeon

"I can't get past the fire that burns in Your eyes. I can't get past the heart that burns with desire." -Jon Thurlow

"The only cure for compromise is the Cross." -AW Tozer

"Love is the fellow of the Resurrection - scooping up the dust and chanting 'Live!'" -Emily Dickinson

The passion of the Father's heart is to reconcile those things that were never meant to be apart. Man to God, Ethnos to Ethnos, Heaven to Earth: Jesus' cross and coming are the pegs upon which the fullness of reconciliation rests. -David Sliker

There is much we can't comprehend, but of this we may be very sure: God will do more if we pray. We must not obscure the simplicity of this. -Stephen Venable

What do the angels see, that makes them cry holy?

There are only a few thousand words of Jesus recorded in the Gospels. Yet He taught almost every day for 3 years. Oh to have been with Him! -Joshua Hawkins

Pilate thought Jesus was on trial—what a gross misjudgment! It was Pilate—not Jesus—who was on trial that day. As He stands before Pilate, we see in Jesus a Man who blinks in the presence of no one. So why should you? -Bob Sorge

Jesus said, “They do not know what they do.” It wasn’t just the soldiers. Nobody at the cross knew what they were doing.  Simon of Cyrene didn’t know that as he carried the weighty beam, the Man next to him was carrying the sins of the world up that hill. Joseph of Arimathea didn’t know that the coagulated blood soiling his hands, neck, and clothes was taking away the sins of the world. And when you came to the cross, you probably didn't fully realize what you were doing either. Coming under that cleansing fountain. -Bob Sorge

Satan aimed for Jesus’ head but only hit His heel; Jesus aimed for Satan’s head and made His mark, Gen 3:15. Who’s the better warrior? -Bob Sorge

"Yahweh is a man of war." Exodus 15:3. "The one sitting on the white horse judges and makes war." Revelation 19:11 -John Piper

There seems to be an abundance of preachers who are skilled at people, leadership, and life dynamics. The great need: revelation about Jesus. -David Sliker

Oh if we could only see the Man
With the eyes like a flame of fire
A fire
He is the sign,
He is the wonder.

Christians fast for the second coming: More than our stomachs long to be full, our souls long to see Christ. -David Platt

Let us turn all our puzzles, all our temptations to wonder why, into opportunities to receive the blessing of the unoffended -Amy Carmichael

A suicidal announcement about Jesus. "We do not want this man to reign over us." (Luke 19:14, 27) -John Piper
