The grace of God does not find men fit for salvation, but makes them so.

God created us to live with a single passion: to joyfully display His supreme excellence in all the spheres of life. The wasted life is the life without this passion.

If we cut off their tongues and forbid the Christians speech, they love with their hands, with their feet, and with their eyes, they love always and everywhere until their last respiration. Does anybody know how to take out the power of love from these stupid Christians?

CDI 2012 summer mission trip. Join us!
Hi everyone,
It’s Sabrina! I have been granted the opportunity to spread God’s love and the gospel to His people in the Philipines and Vietnam this summer! The church I attend, Christ Driven Church will be gathering some people, and we are going to continue to do the Great Commision over seas together!
The journey is about a month, tentively middle July to middle August. We are planning to hike about 6 hours to tao Bato in the Phillipines to minister to tribal people. Last year, we taught them how to brush their teeth, did medical missions. We will be ministering to the people in the 2 countries by discipling them through, for example, the book “Fundamentals of Faith,” teaching them how to read and study the bible, feed them, have Vocational Bible School (VBS), and others.
I have hands, feet, eyes, ears, a heart that pumps. I am well, my health is well, yet my soul craves, jumps up and down, and I cannot sit still because God has called me to minister through this trip. I am excited to witness the Lord’s work firsthand in these places, some which have never heard the gospel before. :)
Luke 24:47 and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem
Acts 21:13 Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be imprisoned but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”
Please join me in committing to God’s work. You can do so by praying for our team, the people there and the churches. You can also help support me financially. :) The trip costs $2000. I currently have yet to get any funds to go.
If you would like to support me financially, you can write a check, which is tax deductable. :)
For more information about anything, ask me! Thank you for your time!
Here are links to CDC website and more info about the mission trip!

Take a perfect 10-minute break from studying. :)
You would no longer think of sin as the damaging of man but as the dishonoring of God. You would no longer think of sin as the choice of pleasure, but the lust of pleasure. - John Piper
