Isaiah 26:1-22 Timothy 3:16-17

Nehemiah 3:1

Just because your offended, it doesn’t mean you are right.

Don’t ever water down the gospel. If the truth offends then let it offend. People have been living their whole life in offense to God.

Galatians 6:1

Nehemiah 3:231 Corinthians 5:12Matthew 22:36-39Matthew 5:14-16

“For all those discouraged by your progress in Christ: “By perseverance, the snail reached the Ark.”

Nehemiah 2:18-19John 10:10a

“Which is more obvious to our friends… our angst over our president, or our awe of our God?”

“Tradition is the living faith of the dead, traditionalism is the dead faith of the living. And, I suppose I should add, it is traditionalism that gives tradition such a bad name.”

Nehemiah 2:1-2

“Where evangelical churches theologize happiness and ritualize the smile, sad believers are spiritually ostracized. Sadness is the scarlet letter of the contemporary church, embroidered proof of a person’s spiritual failure.”

Nehemiah 2:3Romans 13:1Proverbs 21:1Ezra 4:19-23

Nehemiah 2:4

“Quick prayers are possible and valid if one has prayed sufficiently beforehand.”

Mark 9:24Rev. 22:20

“Make good use of chance moments, as when we are waiting for someone, traveling, staying in a queue, for at such time it is easy to lift the heart to God and thereby gain fresh strength for the task ahead.”

“One moment will suffice to place yourself in God’s presence, to love and worship him. If you wait for convenient seasons, you will run the risk of waiting forever.”

Genesis 3:15Deuteronomy 4:25-31Nehemiah 1:1-4

“Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work.”

Proverbs 21:1

“God is in control, but don’t lean on a shovel and pray for a hole.”

Nehemiah 1:5-11Matthew 6:33Nehemiah 1:11

“I ask… whether you pray, because a habit of prayer is one of the surest marks of a true Christian. All the children of God on earth are alike in this respect. From the moment there is any life and reality about their faith, they pray. Just as the first sign of life in an infant when born into the world is the act of breathing, so the first act of men and women when they are born again is praying. This is one of the common marks of all the elect of God.”

1 Kings 4:29Proverbs 1:7

“Wisdom is not handy tips to improve our lives like a software upgrade. Wisdom is not a high-octane added ingredient to boost our performance. Wisdom is a matter of life and death, because wisdom reveals we are listening to God with an eager heart.”

Proverbs 1:20-21

“It is a book which seldom takes you to church. Like its own figure of Wisdom, it calls across to you in the street about some everyday matter, or points things out at home. Its function in Scripture is to put godliness into working clothes.”

Proverbs 1:22-23

Proverbs 1:24-27Galatians 6:7-8Proverbs 1:28-30Colossians 2:2-3Proverbs 1:31

“There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, ‘Thy will be done,’ and those to whom God says, “Thy will be done.’”

Proverbs 1:32Matthew 10:28Proverbs 1:33Matthew 11:28

The message of repentance is not “Stop that!” It’s Jesus saying “Come to me.”

Matthew 13:15Matthew 7:24-27James 1:5

Psalm 16:1Colossians 3:3Psalm 16:2James 1:16-17

“It will not suffice simply to hold that there is one whom all ought to honor and adore, unless we are also persuaded that he is the fountain of every good, and that we must seek nothing elsewhere than in him. . . . For until men recognize that they owe everything to God, that they are nourished by his fatherly care, that he is the Author of their every good, that they should seek nothing beyond him—they will never yield him willing service. Nay, unless they establish their complete happiness in him, they will never give themselves truly and sincerely to him.”

Psalm 16:3-4

“Those who multiply gods multiply griefs to themselves; for whoever thinks one God too little, will find two too many, and yet hundreds not enough.”

Psalm 16:5-7Jeremiah 1:5

“Long before we got interested in the subject of God, God subjected us to the most intensive and searching knowledge. Before it ever crossed our minds that God might be important, God singled us out as important. Before we were formed in the womb, God knew us. We are known before we know. This realization has a practical result: no longer do we run here and there, panicked and anxious, searching for the answers to life. Our lives are not puzzles to be figured out. Rather, we come to God, who knows us and reveals to us the truth of our lives. The fundamental mistake is to begin with ourselves and not God. God is the center from which all life develops. If we use our ego as the center from which to plot the geometry of our lives, we will live eccentrically. If we are going to live appropriately, we must be aware that we are living in the middle of a story that was begun and will be concluded by another. And this other is God.”

Psalm 16:7-82 Samuel 7:12-13Psalm 16:9-10Job 19:25-27Acts 2:29-32Acts 13:35-38Romans 8:11Psalm 16:11

“Death used to be an executioner, but the gospel has made him just a gardener.”

Psalm 37:1-2

Psalm 37:3Hebrews 11:1

Psalm 37:4Romans 12:1-2

Psalm 37:5Isaiah 64:4Psalm 37:6

Psalm 37:8Proverbs 18:2

“Addiction to social media will make you aware of everything and wise about nothing.”

Psalm 37:9Hebrews 11:16

“A continual looking forward to the eternal world is not (as some modern people think) a form of escapism or wishful thinking, but one of the things a Christian is meant to do. It does not mean that we are to leave the present world as it is. If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were just those who thought most of the next. The Apostles themselves, who set on foot the conversion of the Roman Empire, the great men who built up the Middle Ages, the English Evangelicals who abolished the Slave Trade, all left their mark on Earth, precisely because their minds were occupied with Heaven.It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this. Aim at Heaven and you will get earth ‘thrown in’: aim at earth and you will get neither.”

Hebrews 12:1-2Luke 16:25

“Yes, I know. It is possible to be so heavenly minded that we are of no earthly use. My problem is: I’ve never met one of those people. And I suspect, if I met one, the problem would not be that his mind is full of the glories of heaven, but that his mind is empty and his mouth is full of platitudes. I suspect that for every professing believer who is useless in this world because of other-worldliness, there are a hundred who are useless because of this-worldliness.”

Psalm 127:1

John 15:5

“It is not the will of the Lord that we should be like blocks of wood, or that we should keep our arms folded without doing anything; but that we should apply to use all the talents and advantages which [God] has conferred upon us.”

Psalm 127:2

When I give something I do not possess, I give a false and dangerous gift, a gift that looks like love but is, in reality, loveless — a gift given more from my need to prove myself than from the other’s need to be cared for. . . . One sign that I am violating my own nature in the name of nobility is a condition called burnout. Though usually regarded as the result of trying to give too much, burnout in my experience results from trying to give what I do not possess — the ultimate in giving too little! Burnout is a state of emptiness, to be sure, but it does not result from giving all I have; it merely reveals the nothingness from which I was trying to give in the first place.

Psalm 127:2

Colossians 3:17

Matthew 6:33

Psalm 127:2

The life of grace is not an effort on our part to achieve a goal we set ourselves. It is a continually renewed attempt simply to believe that someone else has done all the achieving that is needed and to live in relationship with that person, whether we achieve or not. If that doesn’t seem like much to you, you’re right: it isn’t. And, as a matter of fact, the life of grace is even less than that. It’s not even our life at all, but the life of that Someone Else rising like a tide in the ruins of our death.
