To whom it may concern...: Mind-blowing →

Then I realized something else: He wasn’t equally as wrathful, but more wrathful in the NT than He was in the OT. The Crucifixion is a bigger expression of God’s anger than any other instance in the Bible; the one who experienced the greatest extent of God’s wrath was Jesus Christ when He hung on the Cross.

Christ the creator
The Savior hanging on the cross also upholds the cross on which which he hangs (Colossians 1:16-20).
Let that sink in.
Now worship.

common grace
When I look back as to how I first became Christian - “Christian” not in the sense of enacting a legitimate repentant lifestyle, but at least the beginnings of a faith journey - I am encouraged by Scripture attesting to its validity. Simply put, I was struck by my ugliness after hearing the Law, then struck by his kindness and blessings throughout my life (Acts 14:17) and could not...

irony
If you think members of Christ’s church are really boring, the problem is probably you and not them.
Conviction that the spirit struck me with today. Been spending time with more nonchristians lately in trying to get more excited about things; then I read James 4:4.
Note: not saying don’t be friends with nonchristians - I pray neo-Calvinistically that Christians would stop being...

cage stage
| noun | demonstrating wild and possibly deranged excitement over the seventeenth century pronouncements of the Synod of the Canons of Dordt in the Netherlands. These pronouncements are often referred to as the five points of Calvinism and, once a person becomes convinced that these five points are true, he or she enters the dreaded “cage stage.” The novice Calvinist is considered...

Doubt is different than unbelief
This fact blew my mind, and it was a treat to hear it from CJ Mahaney this morning.
What is the difference? Unbelief is complete defiance and rejection of the fundamental relationship between someone and their savior, Jesus, whereas doubt is uncertainty in God’s purposes or promises. It is sinful and serious, but not a betrayal of the faith.
Thus, Jude 22-23 calls us to reach out to those...

Stumbling block
On one hand you do super-practical things like work on projects for third-world countries and secure a job for the summer. On the other, you do useless things like pray, read Bible, and dance.
I don’t get it, there’s no middle ground with you.

Mercy triumphs over judgment, because mercy comes...
Agree or disagree?
Context is James 2:13. I think the original quote refers judgment in the first clause as wrath, and in the second it refers to Calvary. Semantics.

I like books that are secretly calvinist
In our frenetic free-for-all in nabbing as many books as possible, Moses suggested A Vision for Missions by Tom Wells for reading. Like me, a first glance at the cover causes one to think, “You serious? This looks so cheesy.”
In actuality, this book is startling me in its theological richness (and practicality!) Each page screams to me soli Deo gloria. Two theses are presented for...

Misconceptions about community
Community is not:
a place where people must know everything about me @misguided attempts at deep friendships in MRHS
finally accomplished when there’s a potluck @many a college fellowship event
a place to lose your mind @Bethel youth group
an avenue to control people’s lives (Matthew 11:9) @small group leading
optional (Proverbs 18:1) @people overwhelmed by other events during...

Spiritual growth
Currently reading through a book titled The Life You’ve Always Wanted by John Ortberg. Before being alarmed at how dangerously self-help the title sounds, the scriptural basis is founded on the fallen nature of man and how our deep spiritual need and desire is to be connected again to God.
Ok? Now that that’s out of the way, I would like to share some convictions. I was encouraged by...
bittersweetromantic asked: Oh I see.
Dom is ADORABLE, ohmygosh. It made it slightly easier for me to introduce myself to him. (As opposed to Gunjak, who I'm terrified of.) Also, everyone told me he likes Asian girls so I have that working in my favor?
