"I engaged in a religious life only for the love of God, and I have endeavored to act only for Him; whatever becomes of me, whether I be lost or saved, I will always continue to act purely for the love of God. I shall have this good at least, that till death I shall have done all that is in me to love Him." - Brother Lawrence, the Practice of the Presence of God. Add Comment Jesus deftly rejects the question “who is my neighbor?” and substitutes the only question really relevant here: “To whom will I be a neighbor?” And he knows that we can only answer this question case by case as we go through our days. In the morning we cannot yet know who our neighbor will be that day. The condition of our hearts will determine who along the path turns out to be our neighbor, and our faith in God will largely determine whom we have the strength enough to make our neighbor. - Dallas Willard, the Divine Conspiracy, p. 111 Help Us Win $5,000 toward Our Mission!

We exist to make him appear in the world as what he really is—magnificent. If our life and death do not show the worth and wonder of Jesus, they are wasted. This is why Paul said that his aim in life and death was "that . . . Christ . . . be honored." - John Piper, DWYL, 64. God created me—and you—to live with a single, all-embracing, all-transforming passion—namely, a passion to glorify God by enjoying and displaying his supreme excellence in all the spheres of life. - John Piper, Don't Waster Your Life, p. 31. Glory to God          “If you are right with Him you will inevitably be right with all your-fellow-creatures.” - C.S. Lewis "Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds." - George Eliot | TAFFEverything we are for His Kingdom's Cause! ArchivesOctober 2011 Categories |
