“When Jesus’ priorities come first, our prayers will change. They will be less self-oriented, more Christ-directed, more blessed, and ultimately most satisfying to our hearts.”
― Bryan Chapell, Praying Backwards: Transform Your Prayer Life by Beginning in Jesus' Name

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable, undefiled, and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,”
― Anonymous, New American Standard Bible - NASB 2020: Holy Bible

“When I survey the wondrous Cross, On which the prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. Forbid it Lord that I should boast Save in the death of Christ my God; All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood. See from his head, his hands, his feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down; Did e’re such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown? His dying crimson like a robe, Spreads o’er his body on the tree; Then am I dead to all the globe, And all the globe is dead to me. Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far too small; Love so amazing, love so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all.1”

“As the sailor locates his position on the sea by "shooting" the sun, so we may get our moral bearings by looking at God. We must begin with God. We are right when and only when we stand in a right position relative to God, and we are wrong so far and so long as we stand in any other position.”
― A.W. Tozer, The Pursuit of God
