 Nowhere in scripture do I see  “balanced life with a little bit  of God added in” as an ideal for us to  emulate.   Yet when I look at  our churches this is exactly what I see:  a  lot of people who have  added Jesus to their lives.   People who have in  a sense asked Him to  join them on their life journey and follow them  wherever they feel they  should go, rather than following Him as we are  commanded. The God of  the universe is not something we can just add to  our lives and keep on  as we did before.   The Spirit who raised Christ  from the dead is not  someone we can just call on when we want a little  extra power in our  lives.  Jesus Christ did not die in order to follow  us, He died and  rose again so that we could forget everything else and  follow Him to  the cross, to true Life. - Francis Chan (Forgotten God) 

Essentially, all of the above.

There is nothing so inspiring to a man as a beautiful woman. She’ll make you want to charge a castle, slay the giant, leap across the parapets. Or maybe, hit a home run.

Hebrews 4:16

So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.

2 Timothy 4:2

toknowyourname:

2 Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching.

aha..when I see this verse…feels like a reminder.

Leaning on him everyday that begins anew, if not for his provisions, where would I be?
The song is such a great reminder.
