QUOTE OF THE WEEK

All the purposes of man have been defeated, but not the purposes of God. The promises of man may be broken—many of them are made to be broken—but the promises of God shall all be fulfilled. He is a promise-maker, but He never was a promise-breaker; He is a promise-keeping God, and every one of His people shall prove it to be so. This is my grateful, personal confidence, "The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me"—unworthy me, lost and ruined me. 

Charles Spurgeon, A Defense of Calvinism

He Divides Seas

DateThursday, August 2, 2007 at 08:12AM

The word “bridge” does not occur in the Bible. There may be two reasons. One is that God doesn’t build bridges, he divides seas. The other is that usually his people must pass through the deadly currents of suffering and death, not simply ride over them. “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you” (Isaiah 43:2). They may drown you. But I will be with you in life and death.

So John Piper reminds us in his post, Putting My Daughter to Bed Two Hours After the Bridge Collapsed. 

In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.  Jn. 16:33

Let us pray for the people of Minneapolis/St. Paul and  all those who have been affected by this tragedy.

I too read Piper's words and found them encouraging and challenging...

I've been out of the loop for awhile but I love, love, love your new look! Beautiful!
