Love the focus of Crossview, hope to grow in Christ with you, and look forward to what God is doing in all of us as he builds His church. Keep it real pastor - this heart is pulled to Him through your service. Can’t believe there’s no comments here… unless the whole profile thing is new.

The greatest Man, in giving light, suffered this most violently. The light of the world went forth from the cross of Jesus. Those who experience the world’s suffering and guilt with the crucified Christ – and their own sin and forgiveness – are able to serve the world with the light and strength of the risen Lord. For after Christ rose from the grave, he sent his disciples to bear his light to the ends of the earth."--Eberhard Arnold Could not agree more! “No light can radiate brightness and warmth without

I really liked the way you worded how much our Master loves us. I think it is easy to forget to thank our awesome God. Thanks for the reminder! It is important to remember that God deeply desires for us to be reconciled to Him. He wants a relationship with us! When our world shakes it is easy for us to fall into two traps.1) Because we were made deformed (mentally) we tend to rely on our own strength.2) Because we are made unfinished (spiritually) we think we are helpless. We can do nothing on our own strength, but we are not helpless! We can call on our Savior who loves us! When David's world was violently shaking he prayed to God. 1 Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. 2 From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. (Psalms 61:1-2) Charles Spurgeon, who suffered bouts of severe depression, wrote the following commentary on Psalm 61: He was banished from the very spot which was the center of all his delight, and at the same time his mind was in a depressed and miserable condition; he was an outcast, yet he does not therefore stop praying, but rather finds his reason for the louder cries to God. "I will cry." It was a wise resolution, for if David had ceased to pray he would have become the victim of despair; there is an end to a man when he makes an end to prayer. When my heart is overwhelmed:-when the huge waves of trouble wash over me, and I am completely submerged, not only as to my head, but also my heart. It is hard to pray when the very heart is drowning, yet gracious people plead best at such times. Tribulation brings us to God, and brings God to us. Faith's greatest triumphs are achieved in her heaviest trials. When I feel that it is all over with me, affliction is all over me; it encompasses me as a cloud, it swallows me up like a sea, it shuts me in with thick darkness, yet God is near, near enough to hear my voice, and I will call to him.
