The Language of the Heart: Praying Our Life Together

July 28, 2019 | John Bourgeois

“Getting saved is easy; becoming a community is difficult – damnably difficult.”

Eugene Peterson

 “I didn’t come to the conviction easily, but finally there was no getting around it; there can be no maturity in the spiritual life, no obedience in following Jesus, no wholeness in the Christian life apart from an immersion and embrace of community. I am not myself by myself. Community, not the highly vaunted individualism of our culture, is the setting in which Christ is at play.”

Eugene Peterson

 “If we do not give thanks daily for the Christian fellowship in which we have been placed, even when there is no great experience, no discoverable riches, but much weakness, small faith, and difficulty; if on the contrary, we only keep complaining to God that everything is so paltry and petty, so far from what we expected, then we hinder God from letting our fellowship grow according to the measure and riches which are there for us all in Jesus Christ.”

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

 “Love the one you’re with.”

Stephen Stills

A Parable About Loving Your Neighbor

April 28, 2019 | John Bourgeois

“You can get all A’s and still flunk life.”

Walker Percy

“Can I see another’s woe, and not be in sorrow too?
Can I see another’s grief, and not seek for kind relief?”

William Blake, “On Another’s Sorrow”

“…[Compassion] means not indifference to our times and our neighbors: it means absorption in time. And absorption in our neighbors. It means forgetfulness of self in others. It means entering into every man’s hopes and fears, longing and despairs … It means not that we should live one life, but a thousand lives – bind ourselves to a thousand souls by the filaments of so loving a sympathy that their lives become ours.”

B.B. Warfield

Evangelism Is Not A Dirty Word

September 6, 2015 | John Bourgeois

“Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.” —Brené Brown

Christ In You, The Hope of Glory

July 5, 2015 | John Bourgeois

[The mature Christian] has attained to more enlarged views… but his chief desire is that God may be glorified in him, whether by his life or by his death. He is not his own; nor does he desire to be his own; but so that the power of Jesus may be manifested in him, he will take pleasure in infirmities, in distresses, in temptations; and though he longs for heaven, would be content to live as long as Methuselah upon earth, if, by any thing he could do or suffer, the will and glory of God might be promoted. —John Newton
