Kindle?
So, the other day I found an AMAZING deal on a classic: E.M. Bounds’ “The Necessity of Prayer” for $3. I was so excited I shared with the Facebook world and a friend said he got all of E.M. Bounds’ work on his Kindle for $3. That’s insane!
Pros:
Save a butt load of money
Compact
Cons:
PLEDGE TO READ THE WRITTEN WORD
You can’t smell a Kindle

My prayer for you
“My prayer for you is that you may grow in the likeness of Christ, that you be real carriers of God’s love and that you really bring his presence, first, into your own family, then, to the next door neighbor, the street we live in, the town we live in, the country we live in, then only, in the whole world, that living example of God’s presence.”
Mother Teresa

Very Accurate
“Consider that the chief dangers which confront the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, and heaven without hell.”

“Now I think ultimately our hope is certainly that people can feel and taste the goodness of God and to find the salvation in Jesus’s love and sacrifice. Sometimes the biggest barrier to that has been Christians and has been a Church that is numb to the poverty of the world or just sees our Christianity as a ticket into heaven while ignoring the hells of the world around us. And we’re...

One of the most trashiest nights in awhile, so wild.

Loving Savior, be pleased to show yourself to us who knock, so that in knowing you, we may love only you, love you alone, desire you alone, contemplate only you day and night, and always think of you. Inspire in us the depth of love that is fitting for you to receive as God. May our love be so great that the many waters of sky, land and sea cannot extinguish it in us.

I Will Magnify God with Thanksgiving! →
I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify him with thanksgiving. -Psalm 69v30
We have so much to be thankful for. I’m thankful for grace, propitiation, joy, peace, music, community, friends, family, good books, good words, traveling, BBQ, and SO much more. Friends, we have SO much to be thankful for!

Thoughts while pooping*:
The internet is the friend of information but the enemy of thought. If you want to move forward in your thinking, you must read books, not just blogs.

In and From and To and Through: Merchant of Souls →
curtdevine:
A couple weeks ago, I interviewed Benjamin Nolot, the director and producer of the recent documentary Nefarious: Merchant of Souls, about the global plague of sex trafficking. A few of his responses really caught my attention.
You filmed a lot of gripping scenes in this…
If Nefarious: Merchant of Souls is screening in your area, be sure to do what it takes to be there.

The Potency of Prayer
The potency of prayer hath subdued the strength of fire; it hath bridled the rage of lions, hushed anarchy to rest, extinguished wars, appeased the elements, expelled demons, burst the chains of death, expanded the gates of heaven, assuaged diseases, repelled frauds, rescued cities from destruction, stayed the sun in its course, and arrested the progress of the thunderbolt.
Prayer is an...

“Christians were never meant to be normal. We’ve always been holy troublemakers, we’ve always been creators of uncertainty, agents of dimension that’s incompatible with the status quo; we do not accept the world as it is, but we insist on the world becoming the way that God wants it to be. And the Kingdom of God is different from the patterns of this world.”

Perfection Dies Hard
“Let’s not let anyone tell us that the Internet is going to murder the book, because the automobile has yet to murder the bicycle. The book, like the bicycle, is a perfect invention, and perfection dies hard.” -William Giraldi, Poets & Writers: July/August 2011

To Know God & Enjoy Him Forever
What were we made for? To know God. What aim should we have in life? To know God. What is the eternal life that Jesus gives? To know God. What is the best thing in life? To know God. What in humans gives God most pleasure? Knowledge of himself.

Hunger for God
“The key to Christian living is a thirst and hunger for God. And one of the main reasons people do not understand or experience the sovereignty of grace and the way it works through the awakening of sovereign joy is that their hunger and thirst for God is so small.”

Hey Tumblr family, today is a party! It’s my Thailand buddy, Night’s 5th birthday! What up! For the record, his real name is Pongipat Pila-on but he goes by Night. I would too, what a BA name.
Anyways, I wanted to encourage you to sponsor a Compassion Child, they’re a joy! (Just look how cute that little booger is). If finances are an issue, see what luxury you can...

“The Christ within who is our hope of glory is not a matter of theological debate or philosophical speculation. He is not a hobby, a part-time project, a good theme for a book, or a last resort when all human effort fails. He is our life, the most real fact about us. He is the power and wisdom of God dwelling within us.”

“Take this rule: whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, or takes off your relish of spiritual things; in short, whatever increases the strength and authority of the flesh over the spirit, that thing is sin to you, however good it is in itself.”

“The character of Jesus has not only been the highest pattern of virtue, but the longest incentive in its practice, and has exerted so deep an influence, that it may be truly said that the simple record of three short years of active life has done more to regenerate and to soften mankind than all the disquisitions of philosophers and all the exhortations of moralists.” -Self...

Don't Waste Your Life
“Life is wasted if we do not grasp the glory of the cross, cherish it for the treasure that it is, and cleave to it as the highest price of every pleasure and the deepest comfort in every pain. What was once foolishness to us—a crucified God—must become our wisdom and our power and our only boast in this world.”
“But whatever you do, find the God-centered, Christ-exalting, Bible-saturated passion...

Happy!
Happy is our condition when the glory of God fills both heart and tongue! Oh, to swim in a sea of gratitude, to feel waves of praise breaking over one’s joyful head, and then to dive into the ocean of adoration, and lose one’s self in the ever-blessed God!
