The Plotline of My Life

On By BrianIn PASSION Quotes, UncategorizedLeave a comment

I have not just been accepted; I have been loved. I have not just been loved; I have been inhabited. I have not just been inhabited; I have been empowered. I have not just been empowered; I have been transformed. I have not just been transformed; I have been kept. And I have not just been kept; I will be glorified. This is the plotline of my life. Nothing has been for naught. Every twist and turn and every high and low has been formed by the unrelenting power of divine grace. Every bit of it, even the confusing and painful things, are pieces of a puzzle, that, when assembled, says, “Blessing.”

– Paul David Tripp in Do You Believe?

An Act of Resistance

On By BrianIn PASSION Quotes, Uncategorized

Sabbath rest…says that I don’t need to justify my own existence. It’s an act of resistance against the false god-king of this world who always demands that we do. It’s open rebellion against the systems of this world that demand we do in order to be.

– Adam Mabry in The Art of Rest

Sermon Songs: Hebrews 4:14-16

On By BrianIn Hebrews Hymns, Uncategorized

Through your great High Priest, to God draw near
He was sinless though tempted like us
Knows and cares about your trials and tears
In God’s presence, He represents us

Chorus
Fast, Fast, Hold fast
Hold fast to Jesus the Better One
Near, Near, Draw Near
Draw near to God through His only Son

Hold fast your confession, just believe
Boldly come before the throne of grace
Mercy for sins joyfully receive
In your need come find His helping grace
(Repeat Chorus)
