You get one pass at life. That’s all. Only one. And the lasting measure of that life is Jesus Christ. —John Piper
Bid
Martin Luther het reguit gepraat. Luister net hierna:
Ek het in die verlede dikwels op julle ‘n oproep gedoen, en ek doen dit steeds, om getrou te bid.
It is a good rule never to look into the face of man in the morning till you have looked into the face of God. —C.H. Spurgeon
Verlossing
Deur genade in geloof. Wat beteken dit? Luther se beskrywing kan ons help:
The words a father speaks to his children in the privacy of the home are not overheard at the time, but, as in whispering galleries, they will be clearly heard at the end and by posterity. -Jean Paul Richter, skrywer (1763-1825)
Bonhoeffer (32)
Ek wil enkele gedeeltes uit 40-Day Journey with Dietrich Bonhoeffer (Augsburg Books) hanteer.
Daar is net een pad vir diegene wat Jesus volg en waarlik vir Hom in aanbidding wil dien: dit is die pad van versoening met ons broers en susters.
Many believers run away from miracles. They say that God can do the impossible, but try very hard to save him the trouble by taking matters into their own hands – H. Van Dyke Parunak
Jesus in ons harte
J. D. Greear het ‘n interessante blog geskryf: Moet ons ophou om Jesus te vra om in ons harte te kom?
In die kerk is daar baie mense wat onseker van hulle verlossing is. Aan die ander kant is daar mense wat klaarblyklik seker is van hulle verlossing … maar nie werklik verlos is nie.
