Did you see the Christmas ad on TV Halloween weekend? I mean...really?!

This made me laugh.

From Dr Swenson at MACSA


  • God is sufficient unto Himself.
  • Ministry for Jesus was the person right in front of him.
  • Jesus never ran.
  • “You are not going to hurry Me. You are going to have to fit into My schedule.”
  • God invented human limits. They help us remember that we are not God.
  • Joy is an early casualty of overload.
  • God is very strong and very loving. He didn’t have to be both.
  • If I step in a hole and break my leg I know my field will still be plowed. &mdash Amish description of community
  • Human beings are what matter most. They’re what Jesus died for.
  • Time is the context for relationships.
  • God will give you enough time and resources to accomplish His will for your life.
  • You cannot satiate people with economics.
  • The countries with the most technology are the most stressed.
  • Everything you own, owns you.
  • “I want you to want Me more than anything else.”

Soon the American Civil Liberties Union, or People for the American Way, or some similar faction of litigious secularism will file suit against NASA, charging that the Hubble Space Telescope unconstitutionally gives comfort to the religiously inclined. — George Will (Newsweek, November 9, 1998)

From Dr Swenson at MACSA

All God's gifts are loving only to the degree that they lead us to God Himself. That's what God's love is: His commitment to do everything necessary (most painfully the death of His only Son) to enthrall us with what is most deeply and durably satisfying—namely Himself. — John Piper
