Scripture: Acts 6:8-7:1
I would not have preached the honor and glory of the cross if I feared the death of the cross.”
The Apostle Andrew
“Seek what you seek; but remember that it is not where you seek it.”
Augustine, Confessions
“All that the world has to do to escape judgment is believe—for the simple reason that, by the gracious work of Jesus, it has in fact already escaped it. It need do nothing to earn that escape, and it certainly need not compile questionable lists of good works to prove that it deserves to escape. It need not negotiate with God, or be afraid of God, or try conning God into being lenient. It has only to believe that God in Jesus has settled all his problems of sin and to laugh loud and long at how graciously easy the whole business always was.”
Robert Capon, Kingdom, Grace, Judgment
“Yielding to God’s will can be hard. And sometimes, it really hurts. But it always brings peace.”
