Read these quotes this morning...
"We have taken the infinitely glorious Son of God, who endured the infinitely terrible wrath of God and who now reigns as the infinitely worthy Lord of all, and we have reduced Him to a poor puny Savior who is just begging for us to accept Him... surely the gospel evokes unconditional surrender of all that we are and all that we have to all that He is."
and
"We are saved not just to be forgiven of our sins or to be assured of our eternity in heaven, but we are saved to know God. So we yearn for Him. We want Him so much that we abandon everything else to experience Him. This is the only proper response to the revelation of God in the gospel."
Preach it. Loved this truth this morning.
And for your viewing pleasure, he are a couple of pictures from this weekend in St. Petersburg, Florida. I went home with Forrest, and it was a great weekend with his mom and his friends. I loved getting to know him better and loved being able to have a fun weekend on the water!
