Longing for Jesus' return is not only apostolic, it's the normative posture for believers in this age. Matthew 9:15 -Billy Humphrey
Friday, June 28, 2013
Our plight is such that we do not know the depths of our slumber until we are awakened, or the severity of our blindness until illumined. -Stephen Venable

We sing to a Jewish Man, who's forevermore our King. Glory to the Son of David, out of Zion He shall reign! -Laura Hackett

The indwelling Spirit doesn't alleviate the ache of Jesus' absence. Instead, He actually deepens it. -Joshua Hawkins

"traveled", "talked", "reclined", "ate" - the descriptions of Jesus after the resurrection are so tangible. "touch Me and see..." Luke 24:39 -Stephen Venable
Saturday, June 22, 2013
What is lacking in many discussions of eschatology is a real yearning to see Jesus and be with Him. This is thoroughly un-apostolic. -Stephen Venable
Friday, June 21, 2013
"Let us never get so wrapped up in counting the pairs of eyes upon us that we miss the only gaze that matters" -Anna Blanc
Thursday, June 20, 2013
"Stop clinging to Me..." John 20:17 The joy of the resurrection was tempered by the fact that He wasn't staying. Yet surely He will come again -Stephen Venable
Wednesday, June 19, 2013
Paul's Acts 17 sermon ends in a call for repentance because Jesus will judge. Many theological errors can be avoided if this is our call too. -Joshua Hawkins
Tuesday, June 18, 2013
Two of three detailed accounts of Jesus appearing after His resurrection describe Him eating food. Incline your ear to what He is saying through this. -Stephen Venable

If Jesus Himself is not the consuming focal point of worship, teaching and community, a "church" risks becoming just a tax exempt social club -Stephen Venable
Sunday, June 16, 2013
What would it have been like to eat a breakfast made by the resurrected Messiah who was Yahweh in the flesh? (John 21:9-14) -Stephen Venable
Saturday, June 15, 2013
For the world, there is no message more offensive than the crucified and resurrected God-Man who has now been appointed as the Earth's Judge.
For the church, there is no message more offensive than the call to pursue the fullness of God in full partnership with the Bridegroom.
Grace is free, and freely given to empower a costly pursuit to experience all that God wants to bring the human heart into in this life. -David Sliker

In the same way God prepared Joshua through "not departing from the tabernacle" so God is preparing His leaders in prayer/fasting/word/presence -Corey Russell

Fear is a thief. It robbed Peter of a perfectly good walk on water, and kept the eleven in the boat. Fear looks like wisdom to those without risk. -Bill Johnson
Wednesday, June 12, 2013
It takes “all” of Scripture to make the man of God complete (2 Tim 3:16-17). To the degree I neglect portions of Scripture I am incomplete. The man of God, therefore, should be a man of all Scripture. -Bob Sorge

Jesus is greater than I have ever portrayed him to be. -John Piper
Sunday, June 09, 2013
Stephen and John the Baptist could have preserved their lives by keeping their mouths shut when in the presence of adversaries. Someone could say, “Stephen wasn’t a martyr, he brought it on himself.” But faithful witnesses speak up, even if it means losing their life. Lord, deliver me from the silence of self-preservation. -Bob Sorge

Our biggest dilemma is not our pride, it is our inability to see it and act accordingly. -Mike Bickle
Friday, June 07, 2013
It is God who gives life. Let us respect and love human life, especially vulnerable life in a mother’s womb. -Pope Francis
Thursday, June 06, 2013
In self-loving cultures that shout, "express yourself" the messages of meekness and self-denial become more foreign to the Christian ear. -David Sliker
Wednesday, June 05, 2013
Consider how Jesus fulfilled the Isaiah 58:6 mandate to “break every yoke.” He healed all, even in contexts when the authorities hated it. -Bob Sorge
Tuesday, June 04, 2013
Oh the depths of this mystery...He who was in the form of God so humbled Himself that His body was a thing to be asked for (Matthew 27:58) -Stephen Venable
Monday, June 03, 2013
God values the lifestyle that appears foolish to the world so much that His Son came to the earth and walked it out for 30 years. -Mike Bickle
Sunday, June 02, 2013
The story of Jesus in Matthew begins with worship (Matthew 2:11) and it concludes with worship (Matthew 28:9, 17). That's the right response to Him. -Stephen Venable
Saturday, June 01, 2013
Isaiah 49:15 “Can a woman forget her nursing child, and...the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, Yet I will not forget you.” God’s maternal instincts for you are stronger than your own mother’s. -Bob Sorge
