Reflect, Resonate, Reevaluate, Respond

To love God with heart and soul and mind and strength… is the first and greatest commandment, so the first and greatest sin is not to love God with heart and soul and mind and strength. For this there is no remedy, save what God himself has provided—in love.
~ D.A. Carson, 1946- , Theologian, professor of New Testament

If you are anything like me, you do a lot of listening to yourself everyday.
~ C.J. Mahaney, 1953- , Am. Minister, Living the Cross Centered Life

James 4:13-17

Perhaps the less we have, the more we are required to brag.
~ John Steinbeck, East of Eden

To really be gripped by your identity in God’s greatness you must wade out of the shallow waters of self-absorption into the deep waters of praising Him at all times for all things. Remember, God formed you for that very purpose. Embrace your identity as a forgiven worshiper of this all-patient God.
~ James McDonald, 1960- , Pastor, Gripped by the Greatness of God

Brian: “Look, you’ve got it all wrong. You don’t need to follow me. You don’t need to follow anybody. You’ve got to think for yourselves. You’re all individuals.”
Crowd: “Yes, we’re all individuals!”
Individual: “I’m not!”
~ Monty Python, Life of Brian

Pride makes us artificial and humility makes us real.
~ Thomas Merton, 1915-1968, monastic theologian & author

The will of God will not take us where the grace of God cannot sustain us.
~ Billy Graham, 1918-2018, Evangelist

The gospel changes the way you see all of your life from Monday through Sunday, and it begins to help you understand how big the gospel is and the expanse of God’s heart.
