Exploring Scripture

Today's thought: before all things began, God chose you, your birthday, and the hour of your conversion.

Today's thought: he came down in order to lift us up. He came all the way to us because we were lost and stuck.

Today's thought: before God named Adam, he chose you, named you, and saw your place in his purposes.

Today's thought: our conversations, like those of the Godhead, need to be primarily creative and constructive.

Today's thought: at the heart of the Godhead is a loving relationship. That needs to be modelled among us.

Today's thought: the mysteries of God are designed to invoke worship and wonder.

Today's thought: “I believe there is no one deeper, lovelier, more sympathetic and more perfect than Jesus – not only is there no one else like him, there never could be anyone like him.” - Fyodor Dostoevsky

Today's thought: “For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known" (1 Corinthians 13:12).

Today's thought: Eugene Peterson wrote: “we cannot domesticate the holy. Moses did not take a photograph of the burning bush to take home to show his wife and children. Isaiah’s singing angels were not accompanied by a Handel’s oratorio, which he then purchased on a CD for later listening at his leisure. John didn’t reduce his vision of Jesus into charts which he used to entertain."

Today's thought: the outcome of the life and the letter of James – that which he left behind him – has touched millions of lives. What will you and I leave behind us as a legacy? What will people remember us for?
