God Remembers That We Are Dust, A.W. Tozer
“He remembers our frame and knows that we are dust. He may sometimes chasten us, it is true, but even this He does with a smile, the proud, tender smile of a Father who is bursting with pleasure over an imperfect but promising son who is coming every day to look more and more like the One whose child he is.” A. W. Tozer (1897-1963) Please follow and like us:

Being and Doing, Major W. Ian Thomas
BEING AND DOING Major W. Ian Thomas This is a divine vocation into which you have been redeemed, as “His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works which God hath before ordained that you should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10) can only be fulfilled in the energy and power of the One who indwells you now by His Spirit, as He walked once only in the energy and power of the Father who indwelt Him through the Spirit. Of Himself He said, “I can of mine own self do nothing” (John 5:19), and of you He says, in John 15:5, “Without me you can do nothing.” How much can…

#4 Trust God Enough To Wait, Michael Youssef
“As we grow in intimacy with God, we discern His voice and we obey the Lord—regardless of the circumstance. We know and believe that God is able to handle any obstacle that enters our path. We simply obey and watch as His grace unfolds before our very eyes. In fact, Christ’s life is a perfect model of what it means to have intimacy with God. Throughout every trial and tribulation, throughout every victory and valley, Jesus was in perfect communion with God. He listened for the voice of His Father and responded appropriately—even if the answer meant He must wait. In the moments we must wait, God’s grace sustains us. …

How to Hear the Voice of God, A. B. Simpson
“Years ago a friend placed in my hand a little book which became one of the turning points in my life. It was called True Peace, an old medieval message and it had but one thought–that God was waiting in the depth of my waiting to talk with me if I would only get still enough to hear Him. I thought this would be a very easy matter, so I began to get still. But I had no sooner commenced than a perfect pandemonium of voices reached my ears, a thousand clamoring notes from without and within, until I could hear nothing but their noise and din. Some…

Continued from Part 2 This is the third and final part of an interview chat with Tree Thoughts and Sarah Ott. SARAH: Sorry. That was a long story but I hope it answered some of what you wanted to know. TT: Ah! Yes! There is so, so, so much meat here. Can I ask you a few follow-up questions? SARAH: Sure TT: I will ask you how you live in this when there are so many voices telling your generation to take on this cause or that cause for Christ. How do you use living in John 15 when someone gives you a book about getting active? SARAH: Oh my…

Interview with Sarah Ott, Part 2
Continued from Part 1 Sarah: It was as if the scales fell off my eyes and heart. I saw my view point and how it was with God on the fringes and Sarah in the center. God brought back to my mind the passage in Judges where the people begged for a king, their way. They were sick of being set apart, called out, different. They wanted a king like everyone else. I did too. I wanted the picture, the perfect little life, the dynamic love story for His glory that would stormbust the world. I wanted it and I wanted it THEN! God’s response to me was the same…

Interview with Sarah Ott, Part 1
This is the first of three Tree Thoughts, (TT) chats with Sarah Ott of Establish Her. TT: I’d like to begin by saying how wonderful it is to see the Lord in your words and to confirm what He is working in you. It’s a vital message! Sarah: Thank you so much! The Lord truly has downloaded content into me through many seasons of need in my life. When He takes everything, He becomes everything. I’m so passionate about this message—the message of needing Him and abiding in Him more than empty activity FOR Him. There is a prepositional shift from FOR to IN and I believe He has raised…
