Quotes & Coffee

Thought I would share a few quotes from books I read today by Tchvidjian, Harvey, Powell & Clark:

Jesus + Nothing = Everything by Tullian Tchvidjian

"I was learning the hard way that the gospel alone can free us from our addiction to being liked-that Jesus measured up for us so that we wouldn't have to live under the enslaving pressure of measuring up for others."
"I was realizing in a fresh way the now-power of the gospel--that the gospel doesn't simply rescue us from the past and rescue us for the future; it also rescues us in the present from being enslaved to things like fear, insecurity, anger, self-reliance, bitterness, entitlement, and insignificance."
When Sinners Say I Do by Dave Harvey (one of the speakers for Art of Marriage)
"Let's look briefly at three of the most important components of a solid, biblical theology of marriage . . . The Foundation of Your Marriage-The Bible,  The Fountain of Your Marriage-The Gospel, &  The Focus of Your Marriage-The Glory of God"
"What we believe about God determines the quality of our marriage."
"God created the marriage program, wrote the operating manual, and is faithful to explain it."
"Then we begin to realize there is new hope for our marriages. A lot of hope. Hope that emerges from the power of the gospel, the very power that raised Christ from the tomb."
Sticky Faith by Kara Powell & Dr. Chap Clark
"Sticky faith is both internal and external. Sticky Faith is both personal and communal. Sticky Faith is both mature and maturing."
"Which group did they rank number one? Parents. More good news: our research shows a relationship between this parental support and Sticky Faith."
"How you express and live out your faith may have a greater impact on your son or daughter than anything else."
"When it comes to kids' faith, parents get what they are."
