Father, the loss of you is a planet orbiting what might have been. I cannot say if the emptiness is a grand celestial body or a vacuum so complete nothing can escape. I know these forces have mass and motion that bends, calls in, ripples fabric— distorts the pace of light for a billion years.
— Michael Kleber-Diggs, from “After You Left,” Worldly Things
If your heart takes more pleasure in reading novels, or watching TV, or going to the movies, or talking to friends, rather than just sitting alone with God and embracing Him, sharing His cares and His burdens, weeping and rejoicing with Him, then how are you going to handle forever and ever in His presence? You'd be bored to tears in heaven, if you're not ecstatic about God now!
Keith Green
Tired of hearing worldly things.....
Beware of placing even the smallest drop of your confidence on anything apart from the Gospel.
John Calvin
If I am a child of God, and make an idol of my money, of my time, or of anything in this world, then I am sure to lose it. God will take it away in love to me - although I won't think it love at the time.
Dwight L. Moody
Their end is destruction, their god is their appetite, and their glory is in their shame. They are thinking only about earthly things. — Philippians 3:19 | Evangelical Heritage Version (EHV) The Holy Bible, Evangelical Heritage Version®, EHV®, © 2019 Wartburg Project, Inc. All rights reserved.
Christ did not die to forgive sinners who go on treasuring anything above seeing and savoring God. And people who would be happy in heaven if Christ were not there, will not be there. The gospel is not a way to get people to heaven; it is a way to get people to God. It's a way of overcoming every obstacle to everlasting joy in God. If we don't want God above all things, we have not been converted by the gospel.
John Piper
There is nothing wrong with seeking food, or drink, or clothing. Jesus himself says the heavenly father knows we need them. The trouble comes when we focus our lives around the seeking of food, drink, clothing, and any other creature comforts.
