Wonderfully Dependent

Well another busy month has passed without a post. Now that I am flat on my back with some kind of flu-like bug I actually have the time and opportunity to post something! But I am worn out from being sick, so I have very little to say. In fact, all I will say is that being sick is a helpful, humbling reminder of humanity. I truly am a dependent, not independent, being. I am grateful to read in Hebrews 1 of Jesus, "the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature" who "upholds the universe by the word of his power." I am wonderfully dependent on him.

Based on that statement, you walk the person through the following verses, one at a time: Deut 6.4, Is 43.10-11, Is 44.6, Rev 1.8, Rev 22.13, 16, Rev 1.17-18, Heb 1.1, 2, 8, Acts 5.3-4 Your point all along is very simple, and in line with the above concept statement: You are showing them that the same things...

20 Quotes from "Schaeffer on the Christian Life," by William Edgar.

I got this idea from Tony Reinke at the desiring God blog, where he occasionally posts 20 quotes from a good book. I thought it would be a helpful way for me to share some of the interesting things that I've gleaned from my reading. I just finished this great book and I thought I'd share 20 quotes from it. Schaeffer on the Christian Life: Countercultural Spirituality, by William Edgar. Note: If you see no quotation marks it is a direct quote from the book. If you see quotation marks it means it is a direct quote from Francis Schaeffer that William Edgar is quoting. Fran stopped at nothing to defend the objective reality of a true religious experience over against mysticism and liberal theology. If you had been there at Calvary’s cross, he said, and had rubbed your hand against it, you would have gotten a splinter! 66 “Sanctification is a process, not an act, and yet there are often one or more crises along the way as a Christian gains new knowledge of the ...
