OUR PREOCCUPATION

"We are called to an everlasting preoccupation with God." - AW Tozer in That Incredible Christian

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS

The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul and a new nose; new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes. Unless a particular man made New Year resolutions, he would make no resolutions. Unless a man starts afresh about things, he will certainly do nothing effective. Unless a man starts on the strange assumption that he has never existed before, it is quite certain that he will never exist afterwards. Unless a man be born again, he shall by no means enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.- GK Chesterton

MULTIPLYING DISCIPLES

"Discipleship is not merely personal sanctification but the multiplication of disciples." -  Mike Breen

SIN REQUIRES A SAVIOR

Sin's demise does not some through a political program or a social philosophy.  

It cannot be voted out of power nor overthrown by a military option.

It will not end by human persuasion or the right human leader or system.

There is not enough education to overcome its insidious grasp on the human mind and spirit.

Sin requires a Savior.

- Steve Dunn from LIFE MATTERS to be published December 8, 2011

CHRISTMAS

"Christmas is the end of thinking you are better than someone else, because Christmas is telling you that you could never get to heaven on your own. God had to come to you." - Tim Keller

ABSOLUTES

We should note this curious mark of our own age: the only absolute allowed is the absolute insistence that there is no absolute. - Francis Schaeffer

DEATH AND RESURRECTION

"A church that can turn death into a celebration....that is the church of Jesus Christ!"
- Tony Campolo

A DIVINE MYSTERY

"There is no mystery in heaven or earth so great as this - a suffering deity, and almighty Savior nailed to the Cross."

- Samuel M. Zwemer
