Various quotes lifted from various posts on the Shack!
From time to time someone suggests that a random quote in the course of a Shack discussion get posted because of its potency, memorability, impact or some other reason, so I made this place to stick 'em. Now, I have overlooked many that would make a fine addition, but if you have a recommendation, please let me know.

I am convinced thats why that is taught. Arrogance is believing in our merit to save us, not grace, not using our talents and brains.

I used to find it awkward when someone would ask me, "So where do you go to church?" or "Where are you fellowshipping?"
Now I try to answer simply that one can't "go" to something that he's part of. And that I desire to fellowship like Jesus did... meeting with a few or many, where ever folks want to share their lives in Jesus.

Something else that came up the other week-end was that in my asking a question, a side issue surfaced. It had to do with the reason that I was asking the question, and that was... how was I going to explain the answer to my ic friends who had a rebuttal "verse" for what I was saying. In other words I was trying to find a validation for my belief by having "another" verse to refute what "they" were saying.
Anyway, what came on as a light bulb to me during the discussion is that the Bible's purpose isn't to validate my opinion, but is a testimony of Christ. My validation is "in Christ" only and in HIM I am justified, and by no other means. Man always wants to say "Here, see, it is right here in 'black and white' and this proves I am "right". We are only "right(eous)" in Him.
How many fractures, denominatioins, hatreds, etc. have resulted by our trying to justify ourselves by another means other than Christ.

-Here is to being wild in our new life in HIM!
-Here is to being struck dumb by the love of HIM!
-Here is to simply relaxing in the liberty with which HE has made us all free!
-Here is to being misunderstood by the wisdom of this world!
-Here is to having the world bored silly with our infatuation with HIM!
-Here is to being romanced by HIS liberty, wooed by His grace and enamored by HIS love!
-And finally, Here is to being HIS Beloved Paradox - as we continue to speak with HIS speechless love!
Here. Here. Cheers. And a big Yahoo!
A big smile to you and our freedom in HIM! |

He said, "You are only going to get in by the skin of your teeth!" To which I said, "No, I am getting in by the blood of Jesus." Even a trial lawyer can't have a rebuttal for that. And that's how it is for ALL of us.

The true day of freedom came for me when I realized that I was not only all wrong but that was exactly what I was supposed to be! That’s what God had been trying to get through to me for years, its all wrong, That’s the way I’m suppose to be in order to receive all He has done in and through Christ!
