"We need to orient our lives on the clear statements of Scripture regarding God's will. And here is one: "For freedom Christ has set us free. (from Gal. 5:1)" Christ's will for you is that you enjoy freedom. Where you go to school, what job you do, where you live, etc., are not nearly so crucial as whether you stand fast in freedom." - John Piper
"So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance." - Franklin D. Roosevelt
Heaven is not just a destination, but a mindset. Of Colossians 3:2 ("set our minds on things that are above, not on things that are on the earth"), J. B. Lightfoot, English theologian and Bishop of Durham (1800's), states that we "must not only seek heaven; [we] must also think heaven."
"For a husband is a man who practices husbandry, or cultivation. Like a master gardener, his job is to so nurture and tend to his wife that she brings forth flowers." - Scott Hubbard
“Let us, then, cultivate an attitude of courage as over against the investigations of the day. None should be more zealous in them then we. None should be more quick to discern truth in every field, more hospitable to receive it, more loyal to follow it wherever it leads.” ― B. B. Warfield
"Mountain lions detect vulnerabilities in their prey and attack the weakest... The enemy of your hope and happiness hunts with that same instinct... a cold-hearted and ruthless hunger for the weak or hurting." - Marshall Segal
""Journaling, for me, is part of a constant quest to see Christ and know Christ and enjoy Christ and be like Christ. I live to the glory of Christ." - John Piper, founder and teacher of desiringGod.org and chancellor of Bethlehem College & Seminary
