Our lives are dramatically shaped by our small decisions, perhaps much more than we realize. Some say that we are a sum total of the choices we make. That can either be a sobering thought or a very encouraging one. Every decision to obey Jesus could be likened to a drop of water. There certainly are moments when the water level increases more quickly, but the path to maturity is often through the slow and steady drip of small choices in the mundaneness of life.

What a difference it makes in life and ministry when you realize that you are called to be a servant, not a superstar, and your mission is to make His name great, not your own. - Dr. Michael Brown

“We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end.” Hebrews 3:14
Not: “will come to share.” But: “have come to share.” The reality of past conversion is confirmed by future perseverance. -John Piper

Jerusalem was commonly understood to be the “city of the great King” (Mt 5:35, cf. Ps 48:2). Hence believing Jews welcomed Jesus by faith into the city with palm branches (a sign of victory and nationalism), by saying “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord –the King of Israel” (John 12:13). And when the Pharisees demanded that Jesus rebuke his adulating followers, he declared, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out” (Luke 19:40). If Jesus was secretly trying to spiritualize or reinterpret the prophetic significance of Jerusalem, his response would be appallingly duplicitous.

Jesus said that in the last days, people "will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world". (Luke 21:34)
Yes, a climactic, cataclysmic Day is coming. But why? So God can prove to every nation that he has not forgotten the covenant he made with Israel. - Joshua HawkinsThursday, October 21, 2021
Romans 8 begins away in the heights “there is no condemnation” (Rom. 8:1) and it ends with “there is no separation” (cf. Rom. 8:38-39) but it does not say “there is no tribulation.” In fact, it marks tribulation out for us, very very carefully. - Leonard Ravenhill

"From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth. Our God comes and will not be silent..." Psalm 50:2-3

When Jesus says “hearts will grow cold but the one who endures to the end will be saved” means when the birth pangs start until His coming, our hearts will have to stay warm.
From the beginning of your revelation timeline until He splits the sky... We Love.

Jesus said, “by your words you will be justified and by your words you will be condemned” Matt 12:37.
Meaning: On the day of judgment the things that came out of your mouth will bear witness to whether you had the faith that leads to life, or the unbelief that leads to hell. - Travis M SnowSaturday, October 16, 2021

As the pressure increases and society becomes more unstable, men will become more irrational.
Our greatest need will be the rare jewels of wisdom and insight that flow from tender hearts that fear the Lord. Beloved, there is still time for us to acquire this resource. -David SlikerTuesday, October 12, 2021
We haven’t turned to the Lord with all our heart unless we’ve turned to Him with all our speech.

It is normal to feel restless as a child, lonely as a teenager, and frustrated by lack of intimacy as an adult; after all, we live with insatiable desires of every kind, none of which will ever find complete fulfillment this side of eternity. (Rolheiser)

While I believe the Lord has tremendous compassion for those who genuinely struggle with their faith, I also believe that at the Day of Judgment, He will not hesitate to rightly cast every deconstructionist very far from His glorious presence. - Joel Richardson

“This day is holy to the Lord; do not mourn or weep. . . . Do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” Nehemiah 8:9–10
There is a holy weeping of repentance before the holiness of God. But if it does not lead to joy, we have not tasted holiness as we ought. - John PiperFriday, October 01, 2021
There are more prayers in airplanes in a storm than in most churches in the country. Everybody becomes religious. - Leonard Ravenhill
