“ Joshua made the sun stand still in the sky, but I can't keep these thoughts of You from passing by. ”
We were given the Scriptures to humble us into realizing that God is right, and the rest of us are just guessing.
~ Rich Mullins
I had a professor one time... He said, 'Class, you will forget almost everything I will teach you in here, so please remember this: that God spoke to Balaam through his ass, and He has been speaking through asses ever since. So, if God should choose to speak through you, you need not think too highly of yourself. And, if on meeting someone, right away you recognize what they are, listen to them anyway'.
Bear in mind, children, that they listen to you because you are kids—not because you are right. That's how our Father listens to us.
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.
