- Because I hardly make it through a week without directing you to Ann Voskamp's blog, read this. Chills. Here's a taste:
"How can we who are saved, who are resting on the wood and righteousness of that Cross, look at a whole world out there drowning in a veritable storm of darkness and just breathe this happy relief that we’ve been plucked out to safety? [...] No one can earn salvation in Christ but don’t we spend our lives thanking Christ for it?"
- A T.V. preacher said some pretty terrible things about adoption... especially adopting kids with special needs. I think this video is a fantastic counter arguement. It's not about adoption. It's about loving life, from the perspective of a woman with Downs Syndrome. Phenomenal.
- Ever wonder where Jesus shows up in the Old Testament? Here's a verse by verse list showing Jesus in Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Save this for study and be amazed. Jesus truly is the center of it all.
- One last incredible quote...
"God
does not promise
to lead us in paths of
prosperity or popularity,
paths of
comfort or temporary happiness.
He promises to lead us in
paths of righteousness,
which means
God will sometimes lead us into
pain
and
discomfort
for our holiness.
And this is good for us.
It is good because
in those moments
we hold tightly to Him
and in those moments
we are conformed more
to the image of His Son.
This results in our joy."
