“You can have all of your doctrines right – yet still not have the presence of God.”

“Jesus promised the disciples three things – that they would be completely fearless, absurdly happy and in constant trouble.”
G.K. Chesterton
Written by Steve Pruitt
I love you, Lord
Because you first loved me
And it was so
Before the world’s foundation
Your sovereign grace
Foreknew me as your own
And your son paid
The price for my salvation

“If the Holy Spirit was withdrawn from the church today, 95 percent of what we do would go on and no one would know the difference. If the Holy Spirit had been withdrawn from the New Testament church, 95 percent of what they did would stop, and everybody would know the difference.”
A.W. Tozer
“It is scarcely possible in most places to get anyone to attend a meeting where the only attraction is God.”
A.W. Tozer
“Faith endures as seeing Him who is invisible; endures the disappointments, the hardships, and the heart-aches of life, by recognizing that all comes from the hand of Him who is too wise to err and too loving to be unkind.”
A.W. Pink
“Faith is not the belief that God will do what you want. Faith is the belief that God will do what is right.”
Max Lucado
“If God watches (even ahead of time in eternity with his foreknowledge) and waits, as it were, for us to act, and then in response to that self-generated act, he chooses us, then we are not “chosen by divine grace”; we are chosen by a decisive human act. God would simply be a responder. We would determine his action. And grace would no longer be grace.”
John Piper
