"Prayer is the only entryway into genuine self-knowledge. It is also the main way we experience deep change - the reordering of our loves. Prayer is how God gives us so many of the unimaginable things He has for us. Indeed, prayer makes it safe for God to give us many of the things we most desire. It is the way we know God, the way we finally treat God as God. Prayer is simply the key to everything we need to do and be in life. We must learn to pray. We have to."
- Timothy Keller
"All you need is love, But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt."
- Charles M. Schulz
My forgetter's getting better
But my rememberer is broke
To you that may seem funny
But, to me, that is no joke
For when I'm "here" I'm wondering
If I really should be "there"
And, when I try to think it through,
I haven't got a prayer!
"I was surprised when I started getting old. I always thought it was one of those things that would happen to someone else."
- George Carlin
This is a true story. In the middle east an innocent man allowed himself to be executed for the crimes committed by others.
He willingly died a slow painful death so the people that rightly deserved the punishment for their wrong doing could be set free. Think about that, a man who was innocent willingly took the punishment for others. He died in their place.
All who accept his sacrifice will be set free. What kind of man would do that? Jesus Christ. Jesus died for you. He took the punishment you deserve. God loves you so much that He sent his one and only son, Jesus Christ to die in your place so that you may be forgiven for the wrong you have done and have everlasting life. (John 3:16).
