Quotes for the Day

"The issue is not the national debt in terms of trillions of dollars; the issue is actually the national debt in terms of millions of abortions; it's the national debt in terms of thousands of unwanted pregnancies; it's the national debt in terms of the epidemic of AIDS; it's the national debt in terms of moral promiscuity; it's the national debt in terms of the dysfunction of family life.  THAT is the issue."

Quotes for the Day

"Envy and contentment never go hand in hand.  Covetous which is a sin and contentment which is a grace never co-exist in our lives."

"Christian contentment is clearly independent of my circumstances.  Happiness depends upon what happens, but joy is something independent of the chances and changes of our world.  Christian contentment is grounded in our union with Jesus.  It is a relationship with Jesus which establishes the basis for Christian contentment.  First I want to know Christ and in knowing Him I can do everything through Him. Christian contentment is the fruit of an ever deepening relationship with Jesus.  The more I know of Christ the more contented I become.  Christian contentment is learned.  It is learned in the school of God’s providence."

~  Alistair Begg, Sermon: The Secret of Contentment

Quote for the Day

"Becoming a Christian involves a very definite break from all non-Christian habits. Becoming a Christian does not mean simply adding a Jesus package to a lifestyle of our own choosing."
