What grace is

"So many of you people try so hard to be good. And you think someday you're going to be so good
that God is going to look down on you favorably.

Well, let me tell you something. God already looks down on you favorably.

That's what grace is ...

not because you have earned it but, because He is a favorable looking God."

~Rich Mullins

Not wise

"Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler, and
whoever is led astray by it is not wise."

~Proverbs 20:1

Through Christ we share

Connor Pass, Dingle, Ierland 2003

"..with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in

Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too."

~2 Corinthians 1:1-3

Brokenhearted

Your works

"I will consider all Your works
and meditate on all Your mighty deeds."
~Psalm 77:12

My burden is light

"For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

~Matthew 11:30

The Lord said

"Then the Lord said to Hosea, “Call him Jezreel."
~Hosea 1:4

It took the Hands of God Almighty

We are frail, we are fearfully and wonderfully made 

Forged in the fires of human passion 

Choking on the fumes of selfish rage 

And with these our hells and our heavens 

So few inches apart 

We must be awfully small 

And not as strong as we think we are 

It took the hand of God Almighty 
To part the waters of the sea 
But it only took one little lie 
To separate you and me
Oh, we are not as strong as we think we are 

~Rich Mullins

I live by faith

"The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God,

who loved me and gave Himself for me."

~Galatians 2:20

Jesus loved the poor and Jesus loved the broken

"Christianity is not about building an absolutely secure little niche in the world

where you can live with your perfect little wife and your perfect little

children, in your beautiful little house,

where you have no gays or minority groups anywhere near you.

Christianity is about learning to love like Jesus loved, and Jesus loved the poor,

and Jesus loved the broken."

― Rich Mullins

One who is thirsty (Coffee in the Galérie)

"Come." And let the one who is thirsty come;
let the one who desires take the water of life without price."
~Revelation 21:17
