Topic: quote

 

 “You can't bypass repentance to get to grace. 
         Christ is manifested in our humility.  
                                    not in our disobedience."

The LORD says,
    “I will guide you
         along the best pathway for your life.
     I will advise you and watch over you.

     Do not be like a senseless horse or mule
          that needs a bit and bridle
               to keep it under control.”

           - - Psalm 32:8-9 (New Living Translation)

Sin....
Topic: quote

"Sin only perverts what is good.
   Thus theft is a misuse of property.
   Lying is a misuse of the gift of language,
      as is slander, deceit and malice.
   Sexual immorality is a misuse of the gift of sexuality
   Divorce is a misuse of marriage.
   Greed is a misuse of our good desires and the aspirations we have.
   Pride is a misuse of skill and giving too much credit to ourselves.
 Every sin you can think of is somehow
   a perversion of something that is good." 

       - - Dr. Dan Doriani

Suffering....
Mood:  energetic
Topic: quote

"..suffering, if we respond to it appropriately, 
    has a maturing effect in us.
          But suffering in and of itself is no guarantee
          that we will grow spiritually.
          Some people are embittered by what they suffer.
    The key is responding to whatever life brings our way
    in a godly fashion, by His grace.
              In this way our circumstances will enable us to grow closer to Him
              rather than drive a wedge between us and Him.
        Those who are called upon to suffer should see
        that not as God kicking them, but as God honoring them.
              ...those whom God calls to suffer I see that
              as an honor to His most trusted servants.
                      They are the ones He can trust with that,
                      whereas some of the weaker ones of us
                      may not be able to fare as well under those circumstances.
        I do think there is deep meaning in suffering
            —we comfort others with the comfort
              with which we have been comforted.
       We can help other people when we have been through things."

                                   -- Dr. V.Phillip Long

Our dignity
Mood:  a-ok
Topic: quote

"Our dignity is not found in rebellion against God,
     but in the humility of faith and in seeing
         our utter need of the grace of God given in Christ."

                                                -- Dr. Robert A. Peterson

"Lord God, let us keep your Scriptures in mind
        and meditate on them day and night,
                persevering in prayer,
                       always on the watch.
      We beg you, Lord,
          give us real knowledge of what we read,
               and show us not only how to understand it
                    but how to put it into practice
                         that we might obtain spiritual grace,
                 enlightened by the law of the Holy Spirit,
            through Jesus Christ our Lord,
                   whose power and glory will endure
                                              throughout all ages.
                                                                         Amen."

 - The prayer of St. Origen (AD 185-254)

Pride..

      "As long as you are proud you cannot know God.
