Hebrews 13:13 NLT}{So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe.

Quotes

Steven Ger : Hebrews transforms our understanding of Christ, our Christology, from abstract theology, to intimate relationship. (Hebrews: Christ Is Greater); C.S. Lewis : “Welcome, child,” he said. “Aslan,” said Lucy, “You’re bigger.” “That is because you are older, little one,” answered he. “Not because you are?” “I am not. But every year you grow, you will find me bigger.” (Prince Caspian); John Piper : The people that make a durable difference in the world are not the people who have mastered many things, but who have been mastered by one great thing… one great all-embracing thing – and have been set on fire by it. (Don’t Waste Your Life); Tullian Tchividjian : Most of the time, conditionality makes our lives easier and less confusing. If we can simply find the right set of conditions to meet and then we meet them, our happiness is secured. It gives us something to count on. The problem comes, as it always does, when things fall apart. When we can’t meet our end of the bargain. For every “If you do,” there’s an “if you don’t.” The underlying message is always the same: accomplishment precedes acceptance; achievement precedes approval. (One Way Love); Stephen J. Nichols : We think by clinging to and hanging on with tooth and nail to our lives and to our agendas we gain our lives. We think by loving ourselves – by putting our self-interest and our agendas at the center – we are doing the best possible thing we can do for ourselves. And we are entirely wrong. We so need to develop a vision for God, surrounded as we are by monuments to man. (Welcome To The Story ); Jonathan Edwards : This life ought to be spent by us as only a journey towards heaven. (); C.S. Lewis : He who has God and everything has no more than he who has God alone. (Mere Christianity ); Louie Giglio : God knows how inclined we are to say one thing and do another. That’s why the true test of worship isn’t so much what we say, but how we live. Words mean most when they are amplified in every area of our lives. (This Is The Air I Breathe );
