“I could never myself believe in God, if it were not for the cross. The only God I believe in is the One Nietzsche ridiculed as ‘God on the cross.’ In the real world of pain, how could one worship a God who was immune to it?” - John Stott, “The Cross of Christ”

Loving a quote and then bristling, maybe even disagreeing with it once it is revealed who said it, can be a great limitless test for our hearts. A good word is still good even when we don’t typically like or agree with those to whom it is credited.

@KSPrior Wow.❤️ It’s hard for me, just a follower, to believe a whole year has passed already. What have you found you have missed the most about your mom in addition to her very presence? Praying for peace and comfort and sweet memories of your time together.

3/3 So faith is a gift of God. Built on thinking and evidence, activated by God‘s miraculous intervention, based on the radical discovery that Jesus has accomplished everything we need and we can be adopted and accepted into God‘s family, and all of this by sheer Grace.” - T.K.

1/3 “If you believe that Jesus was a great teacher, and you believe he can help you and answers your prayers if you live according to his ethical prescriptions, you’re not yet a Christian. That’s general belief, but not saving faith.

Real confrontation isn’t about attacking—it’s about turning toward the problem together. The real high road is facing the issue side by side. It’s not easy, but it’s the only way that leads to healing, growth, and a future you can both be proud of.
