Jesus Greater - Me Less



Jesus Greater - Me Less 

John 3:27-30 

27 To this John replied, “A man can receive only what is given him from heaven. 

28 You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ but am sent ahead of him.’ 

29 The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom's voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete. 

30 He must become greater; I must become less.

'Jesus' Peace

John 14:27 

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Worship 

Many a congregation when it assembles in church must look to the angels like a muddy, puddly shore at low tide; littered with every kind of rubbish and odds and ends – a distressing sort of spectacle. And then the tide of worship comes in, and it’s all gone: the dead sea-urchins and jelly-fish, the paper and the empty cans and the nameless bits of rubbish. The cleansing sea flows over the whole lot. So we are released from a narrow, selfish outlook on the universe by a common act of worship. Our little human affairs are reduced to their proper proportion when seen over against the spaceless Majesty and Beauty of God. -  Evelyn Underhill

Praise is more than singing, it’s the saint reflecting the life of Christ. - Anonymous

I can safely say, on the authority of all that is revealed in the Word of God, that any man or woman on this earth who is bored and turned off by worship is not ready for heaven.  A.W. Tozer

Inspirational Prayer Quotes

"Work as if you were to live a hundred years. Pray as if you were to die tomorrow." -- Benjamin Franklin

"Our prayers must mean something to us if they are to mean anything to God."-- Maltbie D. Babcock 

"To pray in Jesus' name means to pray in his spirit, in his compassion, in his love, in his outrage, in his concern. In other words, it means to pray a prayer that Jesus himself might pray." -- Kenneth L. Wilson
