(Miguel de Unamuno)
Homesick for Heaven
October 22, 2010 at 3:07 pm | Posted in Lynda's Letters | Leave a commentTags: Alcorn, Heaven, Homesick, Randy Alcorn
Nothing is more often misdiagnosed than our homesickness for Heaven. We think that what we want is money, sex, drugs, alcohol, a new job, a raise, a doctorate, a spouse, a large-screen television, a new car, a vacation. What we really want is the person we were made for, Jesus, and the place we were made for, Heaven. Nothing less can satisfy us. “Your name and renown are the desire of our hearts” (Isaiah 26:8).

Painting

“God is painting with thousands and thousands of colors and shades and textures—a picture as big as the universe and as old as creation and as lasting as eternity—a picture we call history, with the central drama being …the church of Jesus Christ. And he is using thousands of different brushes, most of them very ordinary and very small because every minute detail is crucial in this painting.”
John Piper
Our Work

“Our work begins where God’s grace has laid the foundation; we are not to save souls, but to disciple them. Salvation and sanctification are the work of God’s sovereign grace; our work as His disciples is to disciple lives until they are completely yielded and surrendered to God. God brings us to a standard of life by His grace, and we are responsible for reproducing that standard in others.” Oswald Chambers
Solution for a Hungry World

God’s solution for a hungry world is a compassionate church- not government, or forced redistribution of wealth, but Spirit-led generosity.
