The worst insult
“you’re really self righteous” I would rather be called almost anything else.
Unfollow
Man. I want to unfollow so many people on twitter….but I CAN’T!!!! Darn. These are things I want to say on twitter, but can’t. I’m enslaved to the demands of various social networks.

I can’t explain how difficult it is to accept that I don’t have control of things, and that trust is essential to an abundant life. When will I ever learn?
Childish
The older I get, the harder it is to impress me. My list of qualifications for a friend is much longer. My independence is crippling. I pray that as I get older I will embrace my need to be childish.
People are disappointing sometimes. It’s ok. Deep breath. God allows it so that He is accepted as the only God.

One Way for Everybody
Isn’t it ironic when someone is mad that there is only one way to God, when we don’t deserve a way at all?
I watched an interview with Rob Bell yesterday, and the interviewer basically accused Bell of creating a false Christianity by saying: “You’re creating a Christian message that’s warm, kind, and popular for contemporary culture…What you’ve done is...
A.W. Tozer On Grace:
“Instead of straining to comprehend this as a theological truth, it would be better and simpler to compare God’s grace with our need. We can never know the enormity of our own sin, neither is it necessary that we should. What we can know is that where sin abounded grace did much more abound.”

John Piper on Luke 18:1-8 (Prayer)
Persevering Prayer and Faith
“So this parable is intended to be an encouragement for us to pray continually until Jesus comes back. When Jesus asks at the end of verse 8, “When the Son of man comes, will he find faith on earth?” he means, “Will the Son of man find that his disciples have kept praying, or have lost heart and given up?” So the implication seems to be:...

Whate’er my God ordains is right,
Holy His will abideth.
I will be still whate’er He does,
And follow where He guideth.
He is my God, Though dark my road.
He holds me that I shall not fall
Wherefore to Him I leave it all
Whate’er my God ordains is right,
He never will deceive me
He leads me by the proper path,
I know He will not leave me
I take, content, What He hath sent
His hand can...

Hope and Affection
Psalm 42:11 “Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.”
Proverbs 13:12 “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.”
