The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why.

Mark Twain (via perfectquote)

Your creator is the answer. 

[muddgoat40]

One reason I think unbelievers complain so much about Christians "shoving their religion down everyone's throats" is because they don't understand the urgency of the situation.

These days everyone practices syncretism; they contrive their own, personal religions and moral standards. So to them, a Christian telling them to follow Jesus is no different from someone trying to insist that since chocolate is their favorite flavor of ice cream, it is objectively the best. Religion is subjective; there is no universal truth.

But there is universal truth. And it is vital information. The Gospel is the most important message anyone could ever hear, and the consequences for rejecting it are worse than death.

Lord, please save the souls who dismiss you due to pain rather than pride, 

Souls who hate you because of wounds rather than wrath, 

Souls who write you off because they have a false image of who you really are, 

and souls who feel the brokenness of the world means you cannot exist. 

The road to heaven of narrow, but let your mercy be wide,

Let it open the door of heaven for those beaten down by the world 

And let it heal the wounds that cloud their perception of you.

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV (via quotesonquotes)

[via-crucis]

“I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.”- Galatians 2:20

All that we call human history–money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery–[is] the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.

Now repentance is no fun at all. It is something much harder than merely eating humble pie. It means unlearning all the self-conceit and self-will that we have been training ourselves into for thousands of years. It means killing part of yourself, undergoing a kind of death.

C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity, [HarperSanFrancisco (2001)], p. 56-57 (via wisdomfish)

Who you were, who you are, and who you will be are three different people.

Nail deep. But only if you’re willing to change then the ‘who you will be’ will be different too.
