In The Shadow
Practice doing with less than usual, not buying even when you can afford it, buying nothing but necessities for a time, and spending time in the shadow of Calvary. How much less you’ll find you need when you see how much Christ gave! Draw up your budget at the cross.

Revelation Quote
The Lord Jesus has eyes that can burn through every conceivable façade and defense that we can devise to hide our true selves from others, eyes that penetrate right into our hearts. When his eyes are upon you, He sees right through you. He knows all things; nothing in my life is shielded from His gaze, even those things that I hide from myself. Nothing is hidden from Him.
– Joel Beeke on Revelation 2:18-29 in Revelation
