For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. —
God is not the big Scrooge in the sky, critically looking down on his flawed children waiting to condemn those who mess up. Instead, he saw how broken, flawed, and messed up we were and entered our world to save it... to save us. God's purpose in sending Jesus is our life and our salvation.
Thoughts
. Blessed are the single-hearted, for they shall enjoy much peace…If you refuse to be hurried and pressed, if you stay your soul on God, nothing can keep you from that clearness of spirit which is life and peace. In that stillness you will know what His will is. – Amy Carmichael
. You should accept yourself, not as a master, but as a servant, and then all your bad feelings, your anxiety, alarm, uncertainty, and dissatisfaction will be changed into calmness and peace. You will be filled inside with a clear vision of your purpose, and with a great joy. - Leo Tolstoy
. I firmly believe a great many prayers are not answered because we are not willing to forgive someone. - D. L. Moody
. Christianity says we were created by a righteous God to flourish and be exhilarated in a righteous environment. God has “wired” us in such a way that the more righteous we are, the more we’ll actually enjoy life. - Bill Hybels
Evangelism
. "Lord grant that the FIRE of my heart may melt the lead in my feet." – Unknown
. "The angel fetched Peter out of prison, but it was prayer that fetched the angel."-Thomas Watson
Psalm 3:8
From the LORD comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people. —
Deliverance does come from the LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, our Father. So we ask him to bless us with his richest and greatest blessings. But, he has already given his people the very greatest blessing, the gift of his Son. Now if we will only acknowledge and appreciate that blessing.
