Stephen Venable: Every generation must stand at the crossroads & decide to either accept barrenness or to contend for the power of God.

David Sliker: One key error of American Christianity is the pressure placed on Sunday mornings to "deliver". Once-a-week Christianity can never deliver.

John Piper: Hair like snow. Eyes like fire. Feet like bronze. Voice like waters. Holding stars. Breathing a sword. Face like the sun.

David Sliker: The knowledge of God and the revelation of Christ Jesus is the prize of all the ages, the treasure that moves us forever. It's too lofty to grasp that Jesus, our Lord, considers His Bride the prize of all the ages, the treasure that moves Him forever.

Stuart Greaves: The issue before us in this hour is beholding Christ and Him crucified. 1Cor2:2; Gal 3:1

Corey Russell: If the Lord tarries,this is what I want written on my tombstone: "They shall see His face and His name shall be on their foreheads"(Rev22:4)

Bob Sorge: If you have desire for Christ and also “desires for other things” (Mk. 4:19), you cannot bear fruit to God. A divided heart is unfruitful.

Dalton Lifsey: The missions movement is weakened and undermined by the avoidance of eschatology. The second coming is central to NT missions.

Tracey Sliker: Pray like every word you utter & even think is heard & remembered by an eternal Man of pure light who will answer & never forget.

John Piper: The words of Jesus are the window through which we see the Light of Jesus. And through which we climb by faith.

Stephen Venable: Unable to consistently find our keys and remember names, we turn around and champion our newly-formed opinions about the Bible with unflagging confidence.... read on here.

Justin Rizzo: What caused the Father to anoint Jesus with the oil of joy? Jesus hated wickedness and loved righteousness Heb 1:9

John Piper: Ask for his Christ-revealing fullness now. "How much more will the Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask!” Luke 11:13

David Sliker: The uniqueness of our faith is this, "God came to us to die, comes to us by His Spirit, and is coming again to dwell amongst us." At no point is Christianity ever about, "We get to God." Even heaven comes down to us at the consummation of all things.

Corey Russell: The fear of the Lord is jealously guarding the gift that we have received in Jesus

Sarah Sun Kim: When Jesus commands us to "learn," He zeroes in on mercy (Mt. 9:13), gentleness & lowliness of heart (Mt. 11:29) & the end times (Mt. 24:32)

Benjamin Nolot: Facing the injustices of this world doesn't make me just, but it drives me to the One who is.

David Pawson: The Jesus who could take little children on his knee and bless them could whip money-changers out of the temple. There are a few people on earth that can be a lion and a lamb, perfectly balanced. Jesus is a Lion and a Lamb together.

Corey Russell: If we could get people to understand what they possess in Christ, and then teach them how to access it, we would see the greatest revival ever

Mike Bickle: Jesus didn’t put on humility to just accomplish a task on earth. Humility it is part of His eternal nature.

David Pawson: Jesus is the only hope, the only person with sufficient ability and authority, to right the wrongs of this sick, sad and sinful world.

David Sliker: As believers, it's our joy to mourn for the return of Jesus.

Josh Hawkins: When we buy into the delusion of comfort in this present evil age, we numb our God-given heartache of the absence of Jesus.

Stephen Venable: The life-coach version of Jesus so common today only yields a weak, sentimental remembrance of His 1st coming & no longing for His return. It's the beautiful & terrible Jesus of the Bible who incites wonder when our eyes look to the manger & longing when we look to the sky.

Any concern too small to be turned into a prayer is too small to be made into a burden. -Corrie Ten Boom

Stephen Venable: After His resurrection, Jesus did not appear to Herod, Pilate, or the high priest to try to convert them. He appeared to Mary Magdalene.
