Fix Your Eyes On Jesus

Fix your eyes on the Lord! Do it once, Do it daily, Do it ten thousand times. Do it constantly. When your schedule presses, when your prospects thin, when your hope burns low, when people disappoint you, when events turn against you, when dreams die, when the walls close in, when the prognosis seems grim, when your heart breaks, look at the Lord and keep on looking at Him.

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. Hebrews 12:2 NIV

Hope In God

One of the most thoughtful world leaders of the late twentieth century was Václav Havel, the first president of the Czech Republic. He had a unique vantage point from which to peer deeply into both socialism and capitalism, and he was not optimistic that either would, by itself, solve the greatest human problems. He knew that science unguided by moral principles had given us the Holocaust. He concluded that neither technology nor the state nor the market alone could save us from nuclear conflict, ethnic violence, or environmental degradation. “‘ Pursuit of the good life will not help humanity save itself, nor is democracy alone enough,’ [Havel] said. ‘A turning to and seeking of . . . God, is needed.’” 1 The human race constantly forgets, he added, that “he is not God.” 2

Hidden Christmas, Timothy Keller

The gifts of God are found in fields of obedience and trust.

Pentecost makes all of us Spirit whisperers, people who charge the real with spirit.

God, as an artist, has a distinctive style: symmetric, succinct, exuberant, lavish, a flair for surprise, and a lover of variety.
