Who is Our God?

"That was it! It wasn't that I needed the security of a certain amount of money; it was that I needed the security of a relationship. I walked up the crunchy pebblewalk feeling more and more certain that I was on the verge of something exciting....If I were going to give my life as a servant of the King, I had to know that King. What was He like? In what way could I trust Him? In the same way I trusted a set of impersonal laws? Or could I trust Him as a living leader, as a very present commander in battle? The question was central. Because, if He were a King in name only....I would remain a Christian, but I would know that my religion was only a set of principles, excellent and to be followed, but hardly demanding devotion. Suppose on the other hand that I were to discover God to be a Person, in the sense that He communicated and cared and loved and led. That was something quite different. That was the kind of King I would follow into any battle." -Brother Andrew, God's Smuggler

Responsibility

"We are to be self-controlled people who take heed to our own souls. God has given us power over our own spirits. You don't have to give way to foolish behavior." I view this quote by Nancy Wilson as an encouragement and challenge combined. Tap into the Vine, and stay there. Through Him we can do all He wills.

Doing Vs. Being

"The moments I truly live are the moments when I act with my entire will" Oswald Chambers. The disconnect between life and religion, solved? When "should" becomes "be", and the whole beautiful harmony of Christlike living begins. Never achievable apart from Christ, no strength to do this apart from His strength. "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing." John 15:5
