Two Quotes
Henry Blackaby
“He [God] takes ordinary things and people and does extraordinary things with them.” Henry Blackaby & Avery Willis Jr
Excerpt: “As James Clear says, ‘Every decision you make is a vote toward who you will become.’ That’s why we need to think ahead. That’s why we have to think ahead. Each seemingly inconsequential decision has such value because our decisions are rarely isolated. Have you noticed how good decisions tend to compound in the right direction and bad decisions tend to compound in the wrong direction?”
Excerpt: “What more awful assessment could a person hear from the One he presumes to worship than that it was all in vain? Yet each of us is probably more guilty of this vanity than we’d like to admit. It’s easy to go through the motions of worship without engaging our hearts.”
Excerpt: “Uniqueness and differences existed before sin and will exist after it. Only God has infinite wisdom and knowledge. We should expect some differences in perspective, but we should also expect an ability to resolve them without rancor or bruised egos. Imagine the ability to question and challenge without any malice and to be questioned and challenged without a hint of defensiveness.”
“Now my heart cries ‘This is my Redeemer’ / With my whole life I will give You praise / All the glory to the One Who's worthy / Because of Jesus, I have been changed.”
