A quote I would like to remember

Verse 23 [Philippians 1:23] shows why dying is gain for Paul: "My desire is to depart [that is, to die] and be with Christ, for that is far better." That is what death does: It takes us into more intimacy with Christ, and that, Paul says, is gain. And when you experience death this way, Paul says, you exalt Christ. Experiencing Christ as gain in your dying magnifies Christ. It is "far better" than living here.
Really? Better than all the friends at school? Better than falling in love? Better than hugging your children? Better than professional success? Better than retirement and grandchildren? Yes. A thousand times better.
-From: Don't Waste Your Life by John Piper, Pg. 67, How is Dying Gain?, (Group study edition, 2007)

Free Will Funnies

(Okay, this may only be funny to you if you are not an Arminian... If you don't know what an Arminian is, then move on to something more serious :)

Free Will Funnies, Episode One:

"Gotta' have my Free Wills."

One of America's favorite cereals is now more appealing than ever. Kellog's Free Wills have added marshmallow orcas into the bowl. Now you can enjoy your Free Wills every morning with sweet little orcas to remind you of what makes you feel so great each day... "Gotta' have my Free wills!"

Adam loves his Free Wills every morning. "Especially on days when I have a track meet or practice," he said. "I like to eat Free Wills before running. I think it helps me try my best. I gotta' have my Free Wills," he added as he proudly wiped the sweat from his brow just before starting off again.

Along with a healthy diet and a lot of activity, Free Wills will help you feel good and have the ability to choose what you want out of life.

"Gotta' have my Free Wills. They help me start my day out right," said Eva, as she carried her briefcase to the office. "I feel like I can choose what I want to get out of my life and I can make good decisions. I don't need to feel down and worry about what is going to happen next, because Free Wills provide me with a good source of energy, so I can decide to make a change for the better."

What will you decide to do today?

Choose Free Wills, now with marshmallow orcas included :)

"So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy." (Romans 9:16 NASB).
