And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. Colossians 2:13-14 (ESV)

The Goal
“The goal of the Christian life is the pursuit of an intimate knowledge of God that leads to a greater estimation of His worth, a greater satisfaction and joy in His person, and a greater giving of oneself for His glory.”
Paul David Washer
Eternally Purposed
“Nothing in all the vast universe can come to pass otherwise than God has eternally purposed. Here is a foundation of faith. Here is a resting place for the intellect. Here is an anchor for the soul, both sure and steadfast. It is not blind fate, unbridled evil, man or Devil, but the Lord Almighty who is ruling the world, ruling it according to His own good pleasure and for His own eternal glory.”
A.W. Pink
Dr. Jesus
“We do marriage according to Dr. Phil, raise our children according to Dr. Spock, govern our sex lives according to Dr. Ruth, and only run to Dr. Jesus when things get so bad we can’t find another doctor to help us.”

Part With Nothing
“God would have us part with nothing for him, but that which will damn us if we keep it.”
Thomas Watson
Crowned with Roses
“Would we be part of Christ’s mystical body and not be like him? His life, as Calvin says, was a series of sufferings, ‘a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.’ He wept and bled. Was his head crowned with thorns, and do we think to be crowned with roses? It is good to be like Christ, though it be by sufferings.”
Thomas Watson
