Quote For The Week:

I entreat you to devote one solemn hour of thought to a crucified Savior--a Savior expiring in the bitterest agony. Think of the cross, the nails, the open wounds, the anguish of His soul. Think how the Son of God became a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, that you might live forever. Think as you lie down upon your bed to rest, how your Savior was lifted up from the earth to die. Think amid your plans and anticipations of future gaiety what the redemption of your soul has cost, and how the dying Savior would wish you to act. His wounds plead that you will live for better things. - Albert Barnes

Qoute For The Week

Irenaeus's Against Heresy.
"For by no other means could we have attained to incorruptibility and immortality, unless we had been united to incorruptibility and immortality. But how could we be joined to incorruptibility and immortality, unless, first, incorruptibility and immortality had become that which we also are, so that the corruptible might be swallowed up by incorruptibility, and the mortal by immortality, that might receive the adoption of sons?" (Book 3, Chapter 19)

Quote For The Week

Quote For The Week:
“What does it mean to love God? True love is passionate. “Cold love” or “unfelt gratitude” are contradictions. When we love someone, we like to talk about him or her. Such conversations are rarely without emotions. We want to be with them. We delight in doing things for them. We love to show them how we feel. The mention of their name makes our hearts pound and our faces light up. “
William Wilberforce – Real Christianity
