Email Teaching

Here are some of the quotes I have used over the last 2 years at the bottom of my personal emails. Just my way of sharing the light.

The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them." - Albert Einstein

“PRIDE is a spiritual cancer: it eats up the very possibility of love, or contentment, or even common sense.” C.S. Lewis

Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! II Corinthians 9:15

Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do. James 2:18

"The Desperate need today is not for a greater number of intelligent people, or gifted people, but deep people." Richard Foster - Celebration of Discipline

We abandon the most important journey of our lives when we abandon desire. We leave our hearts by the side of the road and head off in the direction of fitting in, getting by, being productive, what have you. Whatever we might gain— money, position, the approval of others, or just absence of the discontent itself—it’s not worth it. “What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?” (Matt. 16:26). Journey of Desire by John Eldredge

"Children need two basic messages when they are growing up: You are loved more than you can possibly imagine, and, You are not the center of the universe." Way of the Wild at Heart by John Eldredge

A man wants to know that he is truly a man, that he could be brave; he longs to know that he is a warrior; and all his life he wonders, “Have I got what it takes?” A woman wants to know that she is truly a woman, that she is beautiful; she longs to know that she is captivating; and all her life she wonders, “Do I have a beauty to offer?” Waking the Dead by J. Eldredge

16Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4 NIV

Satan's Rule

"The whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one." Are you swayed? Is it easy to see how much is wrong yet breaking through to show us glimpses of heaven is joy, the light, real goodness.

No! every time a bad thought or moment comes, I pray and tell God to kick him in the tail and get him out of my head. Reach higher and look forward.
