Heard this quote today, and was very inspired…

“If you make doctrine the main thing, you are very likely to grow narrow-minded. If you make your own experience the main thing, you will become gloomy and critical of others. If you make ordinances the main thing, you will be apt to grow merely formal. But you can never make too much of the living Christ Jesus. Remember that all things else are for his sake. Doctrines and ordinances are the planets, but Christ is the sun. Get to love him best of all.�?

–Charles Spurgeon

One I wrote in one of my High School essays back in the day:

“If I keep failure in mind, I will continue to fail until the failure in my mind fails, thus resulting in me again failing.”

It’s humorous, but true if we focus on the bad of our failures.

Oh yeah…there is no license needed to use my quote

“You can safely assume that you’ve created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.�? -Anne Lamott

This quote haunts me because it is so easy to project ourselves on to God rather than reflect who He is in our lives!

Hey Craig… it is great to see your blog, I just found it…

The quote you posted is great…

I like this quote fro Martin Luther…

“Peace is more important than all justice; and peace was not made for the sake of justice, but justice for the sake of peace.”

I pray that I would be a peacemaker… more than seeking justice… that quote reminds me all the time.. that our goespel is a gospel of reconciliation..

Colossians 1:19-21

19For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.

“My responsibility as a preacher of the gospel and a teacher in the church is not to preserve and repeat cherished biblical sentences, but to pierce the heart with biblical truth”
John Piper Desiring God pg 54

The only “church” things we must hold onto is what the Bible says, not what church has done in the past.
