AN IMPORTANT PRAYER

“In Christ, there is nothing I can do that would make you love me more, and nothing I have done that makes you love me less. Your presence and approval are all I need for everlasting joy. As you have been to me, so I will be to others. As I pray, I’ll measure your compassion by the cross and your power by the resurrection.” - JD Greear

DREAMING GOD'S DREAMS

"May God grant us the grace to have faith in a future that transforms our imaginations and makes it possible for us to live for impossible possibilities, for dreams that correspond with God's."

 - John Westerhoff III

RESURRECTION IS THE TRUTH

THE GLORY OF GOD

"A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell." — C.S. Lewis

DEEP OR SHALLOW

"Religion is like a swimming pool---all the noise is at the shallow end." theologian William H. Vanstone

THE POWER OF PRAYER

DISTURBING THE PRESENT

DARK NIGHTS ONLY FOR NOW

"When you are in the middle of the dark night, there is absolutely no clue that a dawning will ever happen, no reason to even imagine light again filling your world… except if you remember that, amazingly enough, it has happened before, even after the darkest of nights. The resurrection will dawn on you, as it has before, and that is a promise Christ gives us: the hope of the resurrection."

-Br, Curtis Almquist
Society of Saint John the Evangelist

CHURCH HISTORY-CRITIQUED

“The church began as a fellowship of men and women centered on Jesus Christ. It went to Greece and became a philosophy. It went to Rome and became an institution. It went to Europe and became a culture. It came to America and became an enterprise.” Richard Halverson

THE NECESSITY OF SABBATH

WHY THE CHURCH IS IMPORTANT

"... in His grace, God has given us the medicine for the disease of self-deception  ... The church is the medicine. It’s in the church where we are meant to live so closely with each other that we can actually pull each other aside and speak good, hard truth. The church is where our faith is confirmed, and also our faith is tested." - Michael Kelly
