“Never be afraid of the PROCESS that will take you to the PROMISE”
“Thank you, Jesus, for blindness that every once in a great while allows one of us to hit the target.”
“Unto you is born in the city of David a Savior for all.”
“The Romans may be known for many things, but humor isn t one of them. As usual, this interpretation relies on a prima facie reading of Jesus as a man with no political ambitions whatsoever. That is nonsense. All criminals sentenced to execution received a titulus so that everyone know the crime for which they were being punished and thus be deterred from taking part in similar activity. That the wording on Jesus s titulus was likely genuine is demonstrated by Joseph A. Fitzmeyer, who notes that if [the titulus] were invented by Christians, they would have used Christos, for early Christians would scarcely have called their Lord King of the Jews . [..] the notion that a no-name Jewish peasant would have received a personal audience with the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate, who had probably signed a dozen execution orders that day alone, is so outlandish that it cannot be taken seriously.”
“Almost All Christians want to taste the fruits of revival but only a few will do what s necessary to achieve it.”
“The Manifestation of your dream is probably right around the corner, that is why the devil is working overtime on you trying to make you give up.”
“God has a plan for your life and so does the devil. Whose plan will you choose to live out?”
“Compromise is only comfortable to the man who is outside the presence of God.”
“When you’re called to Revival & Awakening you walk closer to God and most people won t understand your calling so save your breathe you don’t have to explain yourself”
“Gods not looking for the next great Preacher or worship leader he is looking for a BROKEN PERSON WHO WILL BE FOUND IN THE PLACE OF PRAYER!!!!!”
“The first century was an era of apocalyptic expectation among the Jews of Palestine, the unofficial Roman designation for the vast tract of land encompassing modern day Israel/Palestine as well as large parts of Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon (the land would not be officially called Palestine until after 135 C.E.)”
“For once in my life maybe I ought to actually think about taking God at His word, and in doing so to suddenly find myself riotously welcoming the rather shocking reality that Christmas is truly everything that He says it is.”
“Jesus says to anyone who uses their faith or lack of faith to excuse their acts of disobedience to his call: First obey, do the external works, let go of what binds you, give up what is separating you from God s will! Do not say, I do not have the faith for that. You will not have it so long as you remain disobedient, so long as you will not take that first step. Do not say, I have faith, so I do not have to take the first step. You do not have faith, because and so long as you will not take that first step. Instead, you have hardened yourself in disbelief under the appearance of humble faith.”
“But I d be in big trouble if Karma was going to finally be my judge. I d be in deep shit. It doesn t excuse my mistakes, but I m holding out for Grace. I m holding out that Jesus took my sins onto the Cross, because I know who I am, and I hope I don t have to depend on my own religiosity.”
“There does not exist any more a holy mountain or a holy city or holy land which can be marked on a map. The reason is not that God’s holiness in space has suddenly become unworthy of Him or has changed into a heathen ubiquity. The reason is that all prophecy is now fulfilled in Jesus, and God’s holiness in space, like all God’s holiness, is now called and is Jesus of Nazareth.”
“For a Christian to return to a Jewish territoriality is to deny fundamentally what has transpired in the incarnation. It is to deflect appropriate devotion to the new place where God has appeared in residence, namely, in his Son. This explains why the New Testament applies to the person of Christ religious language formerly devoted to the Holy Land or the Temple. He is the new spatiality, the new locale where God may be met.”
“The biggest difference between between religious people and gospel-loving people is that religious people see certain people as the enemies, when Jesus-followers see sin as the enemy.”
