Marrying young is not the end of my freedom. It means I want to travel and see the world, but with her by my side. It means I still like drinking in bars and dancing in clubs, but stumbling home with her at 2am and eating pizza in our underwear. It means I know that I want to kiss those lips every morning, and every night before bed. If you see marriage as the end of your ‘freedom’, you’re doing it wrong.
This.
Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being “in love” which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.
Captain Corelli’s Mandolin
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
Lao Tze
“Everyone wants to know where evil comes from and why the world is riddled with it. Why doesn’t anyone ask where goodness comes from? Human beings have a tremendous capacity for cruelty. Why is there any goodness at all? Why are people like Grace and Richard so kind? Because there’s a God, and he hasn’t allowed the earth to be entirely corrupted. There are sticky little leaves, if you look for them. And when you recognize them, you can feel his presence.”
- Julianne from Sylvain Reynard's Gabriel's Rapture
The Christian life is not a life lived for God, but the life of God lived in us, through us, with us, and sometimes in spite of us by the power of the Holy Spirit
Mark Driscoll in Who Do You Think You Are?
Put simply, envy is when you resent God’s goodness in other people’s lives and ignore God’s goodness in your own life.
Craig Groeschel, ‘Soul Detox’ (via yesdarlingido)
Justification is effective without works, not that faith is without works. For that faith which lacks fruit is not an efficacious but a feigned faith.
Martin Luther
Hehe, two churches located across the street from each other:
Christianity is hope on our journey of life. It is hope that our lives, are not, by default a mudslide down into the depths of hell but rather an upward trek towards our heavenly Father. This is made possible by Jesus Christ. He is the rock in which we put our footing on. Thus there may be moments where we slip but nonetheless it is a journey towards righteousness.
Perfection is not a prerequisite for a life with Jesus Christ.
Lisa Harper (via lapetitemoi)
As a Christian, I don't need to be anxious for what the future holds nor am I regretful of the past because I know that this is your plan for me. I know that all things that have come to pass and will pass are under Your sovereign care. Thus I can live fully in the present, focusing my energy on doing my best and glorifying You to the fullest.
Do you desire to leverage the equal complementary value of women in your church? Don't give us a chance to ask permission. Get out ahead of us. You approach us with what you intend to empower us to do. End the culture of permission and you will dispel the stigma of submission. We are not usurpers, we are the possessors of every capacity you lack and the celebrators of every capacity you possess.
Brothers, don't permit us. Pursue us.
A great article addressing the issue of justice as Christians, God’s grace and loving our enemies. It presents a great challenge for those walking in faith.
My favorite book is packed with action right from the get-go. Makes you cry, makes you wonder what will happen, and it's such a wonderful book. The Bible is the best "book" ever written. :D
haha that is true, it is quite action packed but it does take 39 books for the Bible to reach it's climax :P The first 39 books sets up the character of God, humanity's need for Jesus, Jesus as a sacrifice, Jesus as the High Priest and it isn't until the Gospels that salvation is received. So I'd argue the bible also takes patience to read :)
Happy Easter! Wish all the best for you and your family.
Thank you so much! I had an amazing Easter. Good Friday had started out with tears, due to a very dramatic presentation during service and a lot of guilt and shame over putting Jesus on the cross. But by the end of the day, I was feeling the forgiveness, the joy in His resurrection, the love in fellowship and just very thankful for the life God’s given me. I hope you had a good Easter also!
