We've become so sidetracked fighting with each other that we've forgotten that there are 3.23 billion people who have never heard the gospel of Christ.

Flashback: Sure, that human being may be tiny, underdeveloped, within another person, and utterly dependent upon its mother, but humanity is not defined by size, level of development, environment, or degree of dependency.

Imagine sending your son into an infected environment in which he would absorb in himself the deadly sickness so that those who were sick could be made well. “God so loved the world he gave his only begotten son . . . “

Hardship, in the hands of the Divine Craftsman, is a workroom of transforming grace.

No one sins out of duty. We sin because it is more pleasant or less painful than the way of righteousness. https://t.co/2Ghv05rZhR

@desiringGod I'm thankful the previous article was addressed and Scripture was abundant in this one. I am much more inclined to share it with others. Thank you.

If you’re afraid to go all in with Jesus because he will take away something you love, know that he will. And that he’ll give you so much more in return.

[Chad Bird @birdchadlouis]

God's first words after the Fall were, "Where are you?"
It is only one word in Hebrew, אַיֶּֽכָּה (ayyekkah).
In that one word is compressed a whole theology:
God seeks out the lost sinner.
God welcomes him to confess.
God desires his restoration.
God works his redemption.

"Truly, it is worth being poor and greatly tried in faith, for the sake of having day by day such precious proofs of the loving interest which our kind Father takes in everything that concerns us." - George Muller https://t.co/A0FOVXP1wB

There’s no disease, no addiction, no demon, no bad habit, no fault, no vice, no weakness, no temper, no moodiness, no pride, no self-pity, no strife, no jealousy, no perversion, no greed, no laziness that Christ will not overcome as the enemy of his honor.

Jen Wilkin: “Women teachers, let’s shift the emphasis from ‘Girl, you are a precious daughter of the King’ to ‘Behold your King.’”

If you are in Christ, your scars will not have the last word over your life. His scars will.

[Desiring God @desiringGod]

Do we eagerly long for the coming of Christ? Or do we want him to wait while our love affair with the world runs its course? https://t.co/ehVFuhRsLF

The little dagger my heart needed tonight. It's amazing how subtly this seeps in! https://t.co/cR2sKXh8Bf

Faith admits the need for help.
Pride doesn’t.
Faith confesses anxiety.
Pride doesn’t.
Faith trusts God’s promises.
Pride doesn’t.

[Desiring God @desiringGod]

Fight pride not by self-loathing, but by being so struck by God’s greatness that you boast only in him.

"If I have THAT, my life will have meaning. I'll have value and feel significant and secure." THAT—is the object of your worship.
