Nothing will break our clinging to temporal pursuits and trappings like meditating on the eternity of God. Big things become big and little things become little when I get lost meditating on the eternity of God. Nothing humbles me and makes me shut my mouth concerning my petty opinions like meditating on the eternity of God. - Corey Russell

If you really LOVE ice cream, only two things keep you from licking every drop in a bowl: you aren't hungry or you don't really love ice cream. So it is with Jesus. If we LOVE HIM, we will savor every detail of His life in the Scriptures, more than ice cream OR we NEED HUNGER. -Matt Candler

Prayer flourishes when knowledge of the unsearchable might and wisdom of God exposes the destitute insufficiency of human strength and wisdom. -Stephen Venable

"Eat my flesh / drink my blood": command to eat the whole Passover Lamb; communion continually reminds us to go deep in the knowledge of Him. We are invited to consume the details of who Jesus is, how He loves, what He cares about - every last "part", even the parts we don't like. -David Sliker

"what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of Life" Jesus is astonishingly tangible. -Stephen Venable

Monday, July 23, 2012

It is difficult to find a man who truly hates Jesus; it is all too easy to find a man who despises his fictional notion of who Jesus is. There will be deep regret on the last day when the wicked meet the true Jesus in full, who will be nothing like they imagined Him to be. The weeping of the lost will erupt when they finally see the true beauty of the Jesus they rejected, devastated by the scope of their loss. -David Sliker

Monday, July 16, 2012

We must determine to go as hard after Jesus as grace will allow, not negotiate standards to determine how close to the line we can live. Beautiful grace brings glorious liberty to be abandoned to wholehearted love, now free to give all for the One who liberated us. -David Sliker
