Quote

Haha, this isn't a post, but it is a rather significant quote of which I don't have any clue who it belongs to.  Anyway, here it is........... "Results breeds confidence."  It is totally true. 

Sermon Quote Today

This is a question quote that I heard in one of our pastor's sermons today:

"Have we become so familiar with Jesus that He ceases to shock or even amaze us anymore like He used too?  Let it not be so."

Excellent Quote

I retweeted this quote on Twitter and found it so inspiring that I had to share it on my blog....

"Wrong is wrong even if everybody is doing it, and right is right even if nobody is doing it."

- Augustine 

Know a Few Great Things and Run With Them

"You don't need to know a lot of things.   You do need to know a few great things and live for them with all your might."

- John Piper

Proclaim Our Breaker

My aunt sent me this quote and I thought it fit perfectly in how, despite our weaknesses, we desperately should want to proclaim the greatness of our God to everyone.  Here it is:

"If the stones were to speak, they could tell of their breaker, how he took them from the quarry, and made them fit for the temple, and cannot we tell of our glorious Breaker, Who broke our hearts with the hammer of His Word, that He might build us into His temple?"

- Charles Spurgeon

D.A. Carson Quote

I am teaching our Men's Bible Study tomorrow and I came across this excellent quote by D.A. Carson that fits in well with what I have been studying in Colossians 2:11-15. Here it is:

"The great redemptive act that freed them from their sins (Rev. 1:5) and established their right to reign as priest and kings (Rev. 5:9) is also what gives them authority over Satan and enables them to overcome Satan and all of his accusations (Rev. 12:11). Satan accuses Christians day and night. It is not just that he will work on our conscience to make us feel as dirty, guilty, defeated, destroyed, weak, and ugly as he possibly can; it is something worse: his entire ploy in the past is to accuse us before God day and night, bringing charges against us that we know we can never answer before the majesty of God's holiness. What can we say in response? Will our defense be, 'Oh, I'm not that bad!'? You will never beat Satan that way. Never. What you must say is, 'Satan, I'm even worse than you think, but God loves me anyway. He has accepted me because of the blood of the Lamb.'"

- D.A. Carson

Two Great Quotes

These two quotes were said by John Piper at the 2007 Resolved Conference when he preached his sermon, God is the Gospel. They both go hand in hand with each other.

"Sin is what you do when your heart is not satisfied with God."
- John Piper

"God is most glorified in us; when we are most satisfied in Him."
- John Piper
