There was a time when the church was very powerful…. Wherever the early Christians entered a town the people in power became disturbed and immediately sought to convict them for being “disturbers of the peace” and “outside agitators.” … Things are different now…. If today’s church does not recapture the sacrificial spirit of the early church, it will lose its authenticity, forfeit the loyalty of millions, and be dismissed as an irrelevant social club with no meaning for the twentieth century.

– Lisa Harper, Malachi (via kelswarren) Via Psalm 91:1If a woman marries a man, she’s trusting him with the rest of her life that he won’t hit her, cheat on her, that he’ll work hard, that he’ll pay the bills, that he’ll love their children, that he’ll finish the race well, that he’ll walk with Jesus ‘til the end, that if she gets sick, he’ll look after her, that if she is dying, he will be faithful to her. Gentlemen, it is a terrifying thing for a woman to trust a sinful man.

Via soft heart, obedient spirit.God does not bestow his Spirit on his people in order to set aside the use of his Word, but rather to render it fruitful.
– John Calvin (via inthebloodistand) Via The LegacyThe Gospel is called the ‘good news’ because it addresses the most serious problem that you and I have as human beings, and that problem is simply this: God is holy and He is just, and I’m not. And at the end of my life, I’m going to stand before a just and holy God, and I’ll be judged. And I’ll be judged either on the basis of my own righteousness – or lack of it – or the righteousness of another. The good news of the Gospel is that Jesus lived a life of perfect righteousness, of perfect obedience to God, not for His own well being but for His people. He has done for me what I couldn’t possibly do for myself. But not only has He lived that life of perfect obedience, He offered Himself as a perfect sacrifice to satisfy the justice and the righteousness of God.

Via soft heart, obedient spirit.A fantastic story of betrayal, redemption, and true pursuit in a marriage, loving each other as Christ loved the church. Worth the watch. “Christ will not stop pursuing the church, so i’m not gonna stop…”
I love when she says that she placed expectations on another human being that only God could fill. I think that’s one of the many reasons why divorce is so prevalent in our day. We see marriage, or more so, a spouse as someone that will fix everything. There are needs that a significant other CANNOT fill and when we place those expectations on them we set them up to fail. There are needs only God can fill and we have to realize that. She also mentioned that placing them on others makes them an idol, we place them before God and that is exactly what happened with adrian and I the first time we dated which was the reason for our breakup. It’s a lesson we learned the hard way. I urge each of you to take a look at the expectations you have in your relationships and see if you have placed needs only God can meet on others.

Christ dazzles me and stirs within me such feelings of amazement that I can never get over Him.
