Nothing Jesus Christ ever said is common sense. His words are revelation sense; they reach the shore where common sense fails.” - Oswald Chambers

[joel khouri @joelkhouri]

“Faith in antagonism to common sense is fanaticism; common sense in antagonism to faith is rationalism. The life of faith brings the two into a right relationship.

[joel khouri @joelkhouri]

Common sense isn’t faith, and faith isn’t common sense. They stand in the relation of the natural to the spiritual, of impulse to inspiration.

[joel khouri @joelkhouri]

Though storms rage and trials press upon us, fix your gaze upon the Lord. He alone is steadfast and unchanging. In every trial, let your heart rest on His promises, for He will not fail you.

[joel khouri @joelkhouri]

Step into this week with courage, knowing God shapes us in the smallest tasks. Seek strength to fulfill His purposes. When we face trials, He offers grace and power. Trust Him with the unknown; let His will be your anchor. Faithfulness now shapes eternity. #MondayMotivation

“We ought to propose to ourselves is to become, in this life, the most perfect worshippers of God we can possibly be, as we hope to be through all eternity.”

@SEP01286 @DatelineNBC @JoshMankiewicz I came here to say the same thing. It was boorish and unnecessary to the story for @JoshMankiewicz to crush her like that. He seemed almost giddy about it. Gross.

[joel khouri @joelkhouri]

@DatelineNBC @JoshMankiewicz @JoshMankiewicz you didn’t have to nail Valerie like that at the end. Save that gotcha style garbage for the daytime talk shows. She was naive and as you said “foolish”, but watching someone’s heart shatter isn’t entertaining.

He alone stretches out the heavens and treads upon the waves and high places of the sea.

“True lowliness in the earth that simultaneously gives its life up for others is seen as great and prominent in Heaven. Heaven looks down and sees prominence in lowliness, greatness in humility, importance in selflessness”

[joel khouri @joelkhouri]

My goal for 2024 is to know Him.
In all tasks, responsibilities and leisure I desire to know Him. “…speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ.”

But it also thinks that a great many things have gone wrong with the world that God made and that God insists, and insists very loudly, on our putting them right again.
— CS Lewis
From Mere Christianity

[joel khouri @joelkhouri]

For Christianity is a fighting religion.
It thinks God made the world —that space and time, heat and cold, and all the colours and tastes, and all the animals and vegetables, are things that God 'made up out of His head' as a man makes up a story,

[joel khouri @joelkhouri]

David said in Psalm 36.9
“For with you is the fountain of life;
    in your light we see light.”
Drink deep from the fountain.
Live free in the light.

[joel khouri @joelkhouri]

His grace is sufficient. May we be a people without mixture. Washed clean of the love of what this world has to offer, our eyes fixed upon Him and Him alone. Singular in our affection desiring only to please Him…

[joel khouri @joelkhouri]

We can do this. Together.
And it’s going to be fun.
A lot of fun.

[joel khouri @joelkhouri]

This will be a year of manifesting the nature of DIVINE KINDNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Romans 2:4

[joel khouri @joelkhouri]

Open our homes and (more importantly) our hearts to those we are given. Deepen connections through breaking bread and sharing our stories.
Be kind.
