One God

The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Deuteronomy 6:4

The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord ofheaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. Acts 17:24 NIV

"How many gods are there in the world?" one of my students asked this week.

"One," I replied.

"Which one?" he asked.

"The One True God," I said. "Jehovah."

He just looked at me.

"The God of the Bible," I said.

"Oh."

Miracle

Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.  ~C. S. Lewis

Soul

You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body. C. S. Lewis

Glory

A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.   ~C.S. Lewis

Light

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen:

not only because I see it,

but because by it I see everything else.

~C.S. Lewis

Thank the Lord

We plow the fields, and scatter the good seed on the land,

But it is fed and watered by God’s almighty hand;

He sends the snow in winter, the warmth to swell the grain,

The breezes and the sunshine, and soft refreshing rain.

He only is the Maker of all things near and far;

He paints the wayside flower, He lights the evening star;

The winds and waves obey Him, by Him the birds are fed;

Much more to us, His children, He gives our daily bread.

We thank Thee, then, O Father, for all things bright and good,

The seed time and the harvest, our life, our health, and food;

No gifts have we to offer, for all Thy love imparts,

But that which Thou desirest, our humble, thankful hearts.

All good gifts around us

Are sent from heaven above,

Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord

For all His love.

~Matthias Claudius

Choice

If you try to imitate Christ,

the world will praise you;

if you become Christlike

it will hate you.

~ D. M. Lloyd-Jones

"Are you presenting the Jesus Christ in you in a way that calls the people around you to make a choice?"

Job

"If a job seems too heavy, one of two things is true. Either God did not give us the job and we took it upon ourselves, or God did give us the job and it is possible to do it in His strength."
