There are two great lies that I’ve heard: “the day you eat of the fruit of that tree, you will not surely die” and that Jesus Christ was a white, middle-class republican.

About me: I'm a 24 year old graduate student at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. I live on campus with my lovely wife, Charlee and beautiful baby girl Amelie, in a 2 bedroom apartment.
I'm not exactly a fan of the Myspace, so if you want to interact with me, you should do it on one of the following social networking tools:
... John Piper "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him."
... Adoniram Judson "If I had not felt certain that every additional trial was ordered by infinite love and mercy, I could not have survived my accumulated suffering."
... Leonard Ravenhill "One of these days some simple soul will pick up the Book of God, read it, and believe it. Then the rest of us will be embarrassed."
"No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying. The pulpit can be a shop window to display one's talents; the prayer closet allows no showing off."
... Jonathan Edwards “True liberty consists only in the power of doing what we ought to will, and in not being constrained to do what we ought not to will.”
"Resolved, never to do any manner of thing, whether in soul or body, less or more, but what tends to the glory of God; nor be, nor suffer it, if I can avoid it."
"Resolved, never to lose one moment of time; but improve it the most profitable way I possibly can."
"Resolved, to live with all my might, while I do live."
... Aiden Wilson Tozer
"It will cost something to walk slow in the parade of the ages, while excited men of time rush about confusing motion with progress. But it will pay in the long run and the true Christian is not much interested in anything short of that."
"It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until He has hurt him deeply."
... Charles Spurgeon
"I would go to the deeps a hundred times to cheer a downcast spirit. It is good for me to have been afflicted, that I might know how to speak a word in season to one that is weary."
"Christ will be master of the heart, and sin must be mortified. If your life is unholy, then your heart is unchanged, and you are an unsaved person. The Savior will sanctify His people, renew them, give them a hatred of sin, and a love of holiness. The grace that does not make a man better than others is a worthless counterfeit. Christ saves His people, not IN their sins, but FROM their sins. Without holiness, no man shall see the Lord."
