Charles Stanley Quote

How grateful we are that God made His message so simple: Trust Jesus for what He did on the cross and know that He left an empty tomb.

From Luke 24:45-46:  “Then He opened their minds to understand the scriptures, and He said to them, ‘Thus it is written, that the Messiah is to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day.”

Charles Stanley (1932-2023) was an American pastor and Christian writer.  He was dedicated to leading a teaching ministry.

Breathless Tranquility

With persistent breath
Morning answers spirit’s call
Gentle westerly breeze
Earth wrapped up in her shawl

With comforting warmth
Dawn’s early light welcomes all
Darkened sky whisked away
Brightest rays seek landfall

With silence stirring
Landscape at last comes alive
Worldly view awakens
New day ready to thrive

With freedom’s rhythm
Harmony’s refreshing drawl
Breathless tranquility
Timely tune never stalls

With intimate touch
Creator’s dreams never small
Tomorrow cannot wait
Nature fulfills His call

Johannes Kepler Quotes

When ships to sail the void between the stars have been built, there will step forth men to sail these ships.

Truth is the daughter of time, and I feel no shame in being her midwife.

Johanne Kepler (1571-1630) was a German mathematician and astronomer. He researched the laws of planetary motion.

Christ Intervening

From Acts 2:38: “Peter said to them, ‘Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.'”

Sitting at Father’s side
Christ, our Savior lives
Overcoming darkness
Empty tomb proves He lives

Trusting faith’s witnesses
Christ lights Father’s way
Calling for repentance
Many baptized this day

Transforming fiber’s flesh
Christ welcomes each saint
Sharing love’s forgiveness
Holy Spirit repaints

Receiving redemption
Christ intervening
Teaching with righteous breath
Faith accepts spring-cleaning

Calling upon His name
Christ shares trusted grace
Breaking chains of bondage
Heaven’s light to embrace

From Psalm 116:12-13: “What shall I return to the Lord for all His bounty to me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord.”

In God’s eyes, repentance should not be a passive thought absent of commitment.

Be united with other Christians. A wall with loose bricks is not good. The bricks must be cemented together.

“From 1 Corinthians 3:16:  “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?

Corrie ten Boom (1892-1983) was a Dutch watchmaker and later on a Christian writer and public speaker. As part of the Dutch resistance during World War II, she and her family protected hundreds of Jewish people from Nazi persecution. Eventually she was captured and sent to a concentration camp. She and a nephew were her  family’s only survivors of the Holocaust.
