“The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say”

” Self-acceptance can be realized only from a transcendent source- The Creator of the universe.

God’s acceptance promises forgiveness and restoration, the opportunity to become somebody.” Darius Salter.

“My core fear is that we are, as a culture, as a species, becoming shallower, that we have turned from depth-from the Judeo-Christian premise of unfathomable mystery- and we are adapting ourselves to the ersatz security of a vast lateral connectedness. That we are giving up on wisdom, the struggle for which has for millennia been central to the very idea of culture, and that we are pledging instead to a faith in the web.” Sven Birkerts

These quotes are not from the book I am currently reading. They are from this morning’s sermon by Pastor Brad Hackett, Cornerstone’s youth pastor. I thought they were both prophetical and priestly.

” Be cause of the promise of the the resurrection, we have all the more reason to stay true to the Lord.” Brad Hackett

“If you don’t seek after God for help, then His promises aren’t for you!” Brad Hackett

“When people are having a dumb argument, we need to help them stay true to the Lord.” Brad Hackett

” Joy in the Lord is the cure for all discord.” Charles Spurgeon

“Christianity is about progress not perfection.” Brad Hackett

“”There is no place in our lives that is of no concern to God.” Brad Hackett

“Sin is a time waster while prayer is a people-saver.” Brad Hackett

“There is no more time for offense, no more time for dumb arguments, no more time for sin.” Brad Hackett

Travel Theme: Horizons

This week’s travel theme from Ailsa is: HORIZONS

We have always held to the hope, the belief, the conviction that there is a better life, a better world, beyond the horizon.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Boston Museum Of Art

A well-ordered life is like climbing a tower; the view halfway up is better than the view from the base, and it steadily becomes finer as the horizon expands.

William Lyon Phelps
