The Voice Of Sin Is Loud, The Voice Of Forgiveness Is Louder Still

The Voice Of Sin Is Loud, The Voice Of Forgiveness Is Louder Still

Why Moses highlighted Babylon was built with bricks and not with stones, and why the choice between these two are made by each of use every day. And why Peter was given a new name by Jesus.

You get what you fight for, what you contend for, not what you want. ~Billy Burke

Which would I rather be—a brick in secular society or a living stone in the kingdom of God?

Ultimately, no man or woman is happy unless they have found a way to contribute beyond themselves. ~Tony Robbins

To Wound Or To Bless

To Wound Or To Bless

-My father was an emotionally alive but suppressed man. We loved each other, but shared very few moments of real encounter. One time James Dobson interviewed us after we wrote a book together, God of My Father. In the interview Dr. Dobson leaned toward my dad and warmly said, “Mr. Crabb, you must be very proud of your son.” I struggled to maintain my composure. My father had never put into words that he loved me or was proud of me. I waited, not sure if I was stretched out on a guillotine or about to be crowned. My dad replied, “We have to be careful not to get big heads, but yes, God has used Larry in a variety of ways.” That was it. The blade dropped. It has been hard to get my head back in place. At that moment, I would have given anything to see Dad beam and say, “Dr. Dobson, if I had my choice of any man in history, I’d have chosen Larry for my son.” But he did not say that at all. (Larry Crabb)

-I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. (Apostle Paul)

-What the first three centuries of church history were really like (a time period marked by incredible violence, matched by even greater faith).

-Max Lucado on the next twelve hours.

Praying For The Sick, Living For Christ

Praying For The Sick, Living For Christ

I am _________ and I am here to pray for you and encourage you.

God is greater than your sickness. God can heal your body. God will get you through this.

“Lord, let your healing happen in this room. Satan, you must leave. You’re a liar, and your words have no merit. This man/woman/child is bought by God. We pray in Jesus’ name, amen.” (Dennis McDonald)

Jesus can move mountains, so he can and will act on your behalf. He loves you! So receive his love and his power.

Quit doubting the King of Kings and teacher of all teachers. Believe in him and step into the resurrection power that is already yours in Christ Jesus. He is who he says he is - believe him!

The Lord exposes our weaknesses so we'll come to him and find our rest and hope in him. He wants you to come to him and stop imagining terrible scenarios. Has he not brought you this far?

That's the creator of the ends of the Earth in your court! On your side! He is for you, not against you. Trust in him. Worship him.

Take your position in praise and prayer and he will set ambushes for the enemy. (Denalyn Lucado)
