Days like these, everyone wants to go tribal. Choose their side of whatever line. But you, you bear witness of the Beautiful Alternative: the One who serves no side, but leads the armies of the LORD of Hosts. And then point everyone to Him. - Stephanie Quick

A very wise Bible teacher who I know frequently prays that the Lord would “remove everything that hinders love.” Similarly, the Lord is presently shattering every “inferior hope” helping us reclaim the ultimate hope: the return of Christ, and the establishment of His Kingdom. - Joel Richardson

“The gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Gentiles. For they heard them speaking in tongues and extolling God.” Acts 10:45–46 

You may or may not speak in tongues, but the measure of authenticity in either case is the magnifying (μεγαλυνόντων) of God. Acts 10:46 -John Piper

I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

There is a storm and it’s when King Jesus returns. He will come as a storm. It’ll be as the Day of the Whirlwind - Jeremiah 23:19-20, Amos 1:14 - Stuart Greaves

Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by him...

1 Peter 2:13 Seems the insubordinate spirit rampant today is due largely to the lack of apocalyptic hope in the coming "day of visitation" (v12).

-John Harrigan

“If Christ is not all to you, He is nothing to you. He will never go into partnership as a part Savior of men. If He be something, He must be everything; and if He be not everything, He is nothing to you.” Charles Spurgeon

To the one who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.

They both died proclaiming the same gospel in the nations. 

-Gabe Cali

And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.

Revelation 12:11 Confidence in the blood and hope in the resurrection produces an overcoming spirit. Worldly power means nothing in the End.

The overwhelming majority of NT prayers are for the Church. A redeemed people who see the glory of God, who know the love of Christ, who are filled with His power, and who have their hope set fully on His Day is the primary way His purposes are fulfilled in this present evil age. - Stephen Venable

"God esteems, remembers, and rewards a lifestyle of sustained devotion to Him, although the world calls it weak and foolish." —Mike Bickle

At the very heart of the early Christians view of reality, was a man who died for his enemies, praying for their forgiveness. Reflection on this could only lead to a radically different way of dealing with those who were different from them. - Timothy Keller

"God now commands all people everywhere to repent, because he has set a day when he is going to judge the world in righteousness by the man He has appointed. He has provided proof of this to everyone by raising Him from the dead.” (Acts 17:30–31) 

Trust the plan. -Joel Richardson

Don’t be easy on yourself and hard on others, be hard on yourself and easy on others! Don’t give yourself the benefit of the doubt, give them the benefit of the doubt. Don’t be amazed how retarded they are spiritually, be amazed at how retarded you are. - Leonard Ravenhill

“Wide is the road that leads to destruction.”

Wide.

Open.

Very easily accessible.

Loads of people walking on it. -Stephanie Quick

And I know that this man was caught up into paradise... and he heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter. 2 Corinthians 12:3-4 

Pauls "revelations and visions" (v.1) drove him all the more toward the day of Christ. Why? Because paradise is soon coming down. Maranatha -John Harrigan

Saved from the destruction of “the great and magnificent day of the Lord.” (v. 20) “Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.” 1 Thessalonians 1:10 Feel the deserved danger. Call! Be saved. -John Piper
