Jonathan Martin said this quote

“ With the tension churning within us, knowing all the ways the earth is not yet as God intended it to be, we are driven to pray daily: Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. We are not looking for an escape from the world; we are looking for the restoration of the world. ”

Increasingly, I'm coming to believe that fear is at the heart of all sin and disaffection. Fear that God will not be enough for us; fear that the identity we've been given is somehow incomplete.

~ Jonathan Martin

But that's one way we can identify the devil's voice: It always plays to our fears. It is the voice that tells us we must do something to prove who we are, to prove that we're worthy, to prove that we are who God has already declared us to be. When we know we are loved by God, we don't have to prove anything to anyone. There is nothing we can do to make ourselves more beloved than we are.

~ Jonathan Martin

When we protect ourselves from what we fear, we also undermine our capacity for wonder.

~ Jonathan Martin

The cross of Jesus says to us there is nothing God won't do to bring us home--except force us to choose him. The cross is God laying down his great power so we might be compelled by the beauty of his heart. He will not coerce us, but only woo us.
