My dad took my brother and me to see Jurassic Park in the theater when I was 10. I was MESMERIZED. This score was enrapturing. When I think about what it will be like to explore heaven someday, I imagine it with this soundtrack playing.

“There is [a] gravity inherent in human sin, a kind of entropy in human nature which guarantees That the vigor of spiritual life will constantly run down unless it is renewed through the channel of dependent prayer.” Richard Lovelace

“Almost always when we first go to Jesus saying, ’This is my deepest wish,’ his response is that we need to go a lot deeper than that.” @timkellernyc

As touchable and tastable as bread and wine, so tangible and real is the love of Christ for sinners. As inseparable as consumed bread and wine are from the body, so enmeshed is Jesus with his disciples by the Spirit. #MaundyThursday

“Life is more than food and the body more than clothing.” Lk 12:23 I needed to be reminded of this today. It’s so easy to get lost in the hubbub of life. “Don’t strive for what you should eat and what you should drink, and don’t be anxious… But seek the kingdom.” Lk 12:29,31

“In long retrospect over the Jewish and Christian centuries, it's no exaggeration to say that anything we know about God that's not prayed soon turns bad.“ -Eugene Peterson

“The world will ultimately become whole through grace. In the meantime, God invites us to anticipate that future by being people rooted in love, through forgiveness.” -@richvillodas

Bible scholars, is there an echo of 2 Samuel 9 (David and Mephibosheth) in Matthew 15:21-28 (Jesus and the Canaanite woman)? There's the language of dogs in both passages, and both stories involve welcoming outsiders to a table. Thoughts?

"There isn't a single area of our lives in which we're self-sufficient. We need God. We never develop or graduate to a state in which we don't need God." -Eugene Peterson

LET’S GO!!!!
