Judge not the workings of his brain

Judge not the workings of his brain, And of his heart you cannot see. What looks to thy dim eyes a stain, In God’s pure light may only be A scar brought from some well-won field where thou wouldst only faint and yield.

Exercise of Some Christians

The only exercise some Christians get is Jumping to Conclusions and Running down Others!

- J.Vernon McGee

Do You Love the Belief in God?

"Many men believe in the existence of a God; but they do not love that belief. They know there is a God; but they greatly wish there were none... But the Christian never wishes any such a thing as that. The thought that there is a God is the sunshine of his existence." (Quoted by Dan DeHaan, The God You Can Know, Moody Press, Chicago, IL, 1982, p. 40. Original source, Charles H. Spurgeon in Elon Foster, Six Thousand Sermon Illustrations, Grand Rapids: Baker, 1972, p. 294)

OUR HISTORY IN CHRIST

Regret for a sinful past will remain
Until we truly believe that for us in Christ,
That sinful past no longer exists.
The man in Christ has only Christ's past,
And that is perfect and acceptable to God.
In Christ he died, in Christ he rose, and in Christ
He's seated within a circle of God's favored one.
He's no longer angry with himself, because
He's no longer self-regarding, but Christ regarding.
Hence, there is no place for regret.

Walking in the Valley of the Shadow of Death

Just got off the phone with my bride of 27 years. The doctors told her she has Uterine Fibroids and she needs to see a specialist. This is like taking a punch to the stomach. I know that God is sovereign and He is allowing this to form me into the image of His Son and my savior, Jesus Christ but the news is still hard to take.

While this blog was to hold quotes that I liked, I will now use it to express my personal thoughts and feelings as I walk with my wife along this path. We are not alone because God is walking with us.

Psalms 23 NLT

Revenge

"Justice may involve hurting someone because the person deserves to be hurt, but… revenge involves hurting someone because it makes you feel better to hurt them." - Rabbi Harold Kushner
