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

There is no power in heaven or hell. That can keep me from the love of the Father on His throne -Laura Hackett

Wednesday, August 22, 2012
Out of the abundance of the heart the fingers type. Our social media posts reveal what we value most. Is that politics? Ourself? Jesus? -Joshua Hawkins

Prayer flourishes when knowledge of the unsearchable might and wisdom of God exposes the destitute insufficiency of human strength and wisdom. -Stephen Venable
Monday, August 20, 2012
The dearth of corporate prayer is due more to a low view of God and a high view of man than due to a low view of prayer and high view of action. -Stephen Venable

Matthew 18:23-35 to refuse to forgive graciously and genuinely is to forget the debt we could never pay and the merciful One who absolved it. -Stephen Venable
Saturday, August 18, 2012

Thursday, August 16, 2012

Sunday, August 12, 2012
Whatever is born of God overcomes the world (1 John 5:4). The world tries to lure everyone into its collective sin, compromise, and thinking. The world couldn’t suck Jesus in, He overcame the world. Our great goal is to stand before God having overcome the world. -Bob Sorge

"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
Friday, August 10, 2012

Thursday, August 09, 2012

Wednesday, August 08, 2012

Friday, August 03, 2012
Hebrews 11:7 "By faith Noah…moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household.” It may appear paradoxical, but godly fear leads to true acts of faith. Fear and faith, hand in hand. -Bob Sorge

Justice is Jesus ruling the nations gloriously from Jerusalem (Isaiah 11). - David Sliker
Wednesday, August 01, 2012
The same Jesus that calmed a storm will be the Jesus that causes a storm globally, to overturn wicked powers and execute speedy justice. The zeal of Jesus then and now is the same: His Father's House shall be a House of Prayer for all nations, that all might enjoy Him there. -David Sliker

Wednesday, July 25, 2012
The magnitude of the majesty of Jesus demands He have the highest place in the affections of His followers. Nothing less will do. (Matthew 10:37-9) -Stephen Venable
Tuesday, July 24, 2012
"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
Sunday, July 22, 2012
Preaching ethics without eschatology is like offering someone water without a glass. Without a Day of the LORD, holiness makes little sense. -Joshua Hawkins

Tuesday, July 17, 2012
Jesus must smile when we use the mind He gave us to doubt Him or the power of judgment He gave us to question the justice of how He governs. -Stephen Venable
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
Sunday, July 15, 2012
