At the end of my life, I want to make sure there's no more gas left in the tank. No unused opportunities or hours wasted on petty things. To lead a life that is characterized by "spending gas" and always moving forward is to obey God and leave all the consequences to Him. Nothing short of that. That, my friend, is the life I want to lead.

Just found this as I was cleaning out my drawers. A list of God’s promises, personalized, that a friend made for me and our close friends. It was made at a time when we were trying to figure out our job situation (still am) and is such a timely reminder.

The obedience of your heart has nothing to do with the geography of your feet. If you’re not willing to obey Him where you are now, what makes you think it’ll be any different if you’re somewhere else in the world?Sermon.. Can’t remember who said it. I feel like it was Dr. John MacArthur.

Video reblogged from Take it to the Lord.
How He loves us… the great incredible love of God.
He is jealous for you.

It is true that you are much more beggarly than you should be because you’re much more satisfied with what little He gives you. Oh that God would give us men and women who are not satisfied with the last gift they receive and they want more. Why does He say to “taste and see that the Lord is good?” So that you want more and more.Paul Washer

Nothing is more important in the heart of God than your conformity to Jesus in character, not ministry, not preaching, but character.Paul Washer

1-2 So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.Romans 12:1-2 (The Message)

Afflictions do and will work very much for good: many have found it good to bear this yoke in their youth; it has made many humble and serious, and has weaned them from the world, who otherwise would have been proud and unruly. If tribulation work patience, that patience will work experience, and that experience a hope that makes not ashamed.
