We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

[Peace] is the very essence of His nature, one of His attributes. God is at all times at perfect peace, without any discord within Himself. He is never under stress, worried, anxious, fearful, unsure, or threatened. He is always perfectly calm, tranquil, and content. There are no surprises for His omniscience, no changes for His immutability, no threats to His sovereignty, no doubts to cloud His wisdom, no sin to stain His holiness. Even His wrath is clear, controlled, calm, and confident.
John MacArthur

People do not drift toward holiness. Apart from grace-driven effort, people do not gravitate toward godliness, prayer, obedience to Scripture, faith, and delight in the Lord. We drift toward compromise and call it tolerance; we drift toward disobedience and call it freedom; we drift toward superstition and call it faith. We cherish the indiscipline of lost self-control and call it relaxation; we slouch toward prayerlessness and delude ourselves into thinking we have escaped legalism; we slide toward godlessness and convince ourselves we have been liberated.
D.A. Carson

    Penny,

    Both of those books sound very interesting!  I will have to add them to my list to check out.  Of course, I have a mile long list, and now that I work for Moody Bible Institute (and get a HUGE discount on Moody Publishing books), I have a ton of new books I still need to get through as well.  J

    Subject: [ChristianBooks] a fiction suspense and a biography on the go

     

    I have two different authors/books on the go right now.

     

    Diann Mills is a new author to me.  I have just started her "Attracted by Fire" book. I am finding her writing style interesting, she has this one placed in present day, and focusing on the US Secret Service. What a hard job that must be. 

     

    I also picked up a biography written by John Butterworth about Berti Dosti, an Albanian miltary officer who became a Christian listening to TransWorld Radio....I am finding it eye opening, reading about how he became a Christian while living in a country under the leadership of a dictator who bannished anything to do with religion or church. It is an encouragement to read about God's working in an extremely tough environment....
