Has it ever occurred to you that one hundred pianos all tuned to the same fork are automatically tuned to each other? They are of one accord by being tuned, not to each other, but to another standard to which each one must individually bow. So one hundred worshipers met together, each one looking away to Christ, are in heart nearer to each other than they could possibly be were they to become “unity”-conscious and turn their eyes away from God to strive for closer fellowship.

People never know how to respond when you reply with scripture and bring everything back to the work of the cross. Especially when they realize that you’re standing on something solid and they’re never going to move you.
“Judgment in Isaiah!”
Forgiveness in Jesus.
“Separation in Adam!”
Reconciliation in Jesus.
Good word right there.

Thus (Jesus), taking a body like our own, because all our bodies were liable to the corruption of death, He surrendered His body to death instead of all, and offered it to the Father. This He did out of sheer love for us, so that in His death all might die, and the law of death thereby be abolished because, having fulfilled in His body that for which it was appointed, it was thereafter voided of its power for men. This He did that He might turn again to incorruption men who had turned back to corruption, and make them alive through death by the appropriation of His body and by the grace of His resurrection.
Athanasius of Alexandria (via loveismycommandment)
Death is abolished! So let’s live forever!
(via hannahrinehart)
Good word.
