Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be - James 3:10 (NIV)
With what shall I come before the LORD and bow down before the exalted God?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of olive oil?
Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God
- Micah 6:6-8
Because of Who You Are
One who has been touched by grace will no longer look on those who stray as “those evil people” or “those poor people who need our help.” Nor must we search for signs of “loveworthiness.” Grace teaches us that God loves because of who God is, not because of who we are - Philip Yancey
“Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.” - Colossians 3:2 (NKJV)This world is not my home.
