“People are particularly stupid today. I can’t talk to any more of them.”-Michel, Pilot (Season 1, Episode 1) This year has been a hard one. People have taken sides on every issue under the sun, armed themselves with opinions and rights and offenses and wrongs, and proceeded to hurl word grenades at each other, one after another, until the air has become so thick with anger and frustration that we can barely see who we’re fighting.”

“I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. I love God’s law with all my heart. But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord.” - Romans 7:21-25a”

“If we believe that, if we trust in God’s constant goodness, then we have to believe that, even when life is hard, we still have much to be thankful for – and I don’t just mean our lack of smallpox-infested blankets. No matter how much challenge and change and chaos we are facing, we worship a God who is always in control and never-changing. Even while He is heartbroken by our pain, He is not moved by chaos or unsettled by situations. He is unshakable. And more than any temporary comfort or blessing we might name in our gratitude, that is the gift we should be thankful for. Knowing that God is still on His throne, no matter how badly our world, our confidence, our faith has been shaken? That’s worth celebrating!”

“I hope I remember that while we will never agree with everyone all the time, we can give our best effort to getting along. Partly because it feels better to live at peace with others, but also because it shows obedience to and love for God. It shows that we place value on something outside of ourselves when we refuse to be selfish and stubborn, instead choosing flexibility and fellowship.”

“Do you find it hard to stay mindful of eternity, of God’s greater plan for you and your life?
