God is Waiting

"What is spiritual arrogance to the extreme?

It is dutifully rushing in and out of the presence of holy God, while carving out plenty of time for anything else that amuses or entertains us...

God has profound things to say to us, and it is to our detriment if we limit him to ten minutes per day in which to say them...

When the Israelites met God at Mt. Sinai, they had to take three days to prepare themselves for the encounter. (Exodus 19)"

Blackaby, Henry & Richard. Hearing God's Voice, p. 131

Kill Doubt

"A mind troubled by doubt cannot focus on the course to victory. "

- Arthur Golden

HOME

No word in the English language moves the human heart in quite the same way as the word HOME. Jesus recognizes that the deepest yearnings of the human heart-- to belong, to be safe, to be prized-- are really a yearning for heaven. When we get there, it will not seem strange to us. When we get there, we will say, "This is HOME." "

-John Ortberg, Everybody's Normal Until You Get to Know Them, p.225
