“The proud person always wants to do the right thing, the great thing.
But because he wants to do it in his own strength, he is fighting not with man, but with God.”
― Provocations: Spiritual Writings of Kierkegaard
God’s “No” Will Bring Christ
2 Samuel 7:8-17
Jesus Christ is the temple.
The one true meeting place for God and Man.
“Every good poised to bless us, and every evil arrayed against us, will in the end help us boast only in the cross, magnify Christ, and glorify our Creator.
At the end of the road of risk, taken in reliance on the blood-bought promises of God, there will be fulness of joy and pleasures forevermore.”
— John Piper
