Presence

"Some Christians very seldom enjoy their Savior's presence. How is this? Surely it must be an affliction for a tender child to be separated from his father. Art thou a child of God, and yet satisfied to go on without seeing thy Father's face?" -Charles Spurgeon

The Living Word

"... Where reading is a game, people get hurt, and Jesus isn't heard. For Christians, we don't merely live among a world of words, but under the Word made flesh- who speaks with ultimate authority. What Jesus has to say isn't stuck in the realm of His lessons, but in the rights of His Lordship. The biblical canon is where He speaks. How we read it is emphatically a lordship issue." -Jonathan Parnell
