Great Quotes with Kirk - John Newton

KirkCameron

"For to me--to live is Christ and to die is gain!" Philippians 1:21

God will preserve me--as long as He has service for me to do. Beyond this, I have no great desire to live.

"I desire to depart and be with Christ--which is better by far!" Philippians 1:23

~ Letters of John Newton

 

How many days do we ponder the Lord's will for our lives? "Should I do this, or pursue that?" we ask. "Do I invest my time here or is it better spent there?" How free we would be from these questions of purpose and endeavor if we could see our lives as simply as the apostle Paul saw his? Knowing that God's plans are better than ours, Paul submitted himself to the Lord's agenda for his life and focused the scope of his efforts to serving Christ alone. He became convinced that life equaled knowing Jesus and loving Jesus. When service to the Lord was no longer possible for him on earth, Paul desired to be with the Lord in Heaven, so that he could love and serve Him face to face! In the final analysis, when the points are tallied, and the scores are posted, what else will matter in life and death but Jesus?    - Kirk

  • |Y-m-d H:i:s Ruth Earnshaw  - 1.21 Ministry - Loss of our son Jeremy Earnshaw-Fa
    A friend forwarded what Kirk had written on Philippians 1:21. We lost our son
    last year summer of 2008 to a freak wave in Newcastle, Australia. Jeremy was
    serving the Lord with Youth With a Mission since graduating high school in 2003.
    Jeremy put a tatoo on his chest before going to Egypt in 2005 and he chose
    Philippians 1:21 which is For to me to live is Christ to die is gain. Our son
    was never found and the youth that came to Jeremy's memorial in Australia wore
    1.21 armbands in green - Jeremy loved green and 1.21 was a shortened version of
    Philippians 1:21. The youth the next wore them to school and the other students
    would ask what is 1.21 and that opened the door to share about Jeremy's
    relationship to Jesus. Armbands led to wristbands to testimony cards. The
    testimony cards are now in Telegu, Urdu (Pakistan), Hindi, Arabic, Indonesian,
    Spanish, English, and Kananda (Indian). These are mailed for free around the

    Science and reason.

    But I'm not an atheist.

    Science and reason have led me to Deism.

    Nothing in nature is left to chance
    Everything comes from the Divine.
    Never find fault in things
    You do not really understand.
    The enemy you wish to destroy
    Often proves to be your truest friend.
    Mr. Lincoln...in that the Christians want to claim him, and the Atheists want to
    claim him...above all else he was a reasonable man. He could see the absurdities
    of the Bible, but also found some truth in it's moral stories. Just as everyone
    does with the Bible, we cherry-pick what we find useful.
    I believe Mr. Lincoln was very much like Thomas Jefferson- critical of the Bible
    and religion in general, but not totally abandoning either.

    Science is answers that must always be questioned.
    Philosophy is questions that may never be answered.
    Christian/Religion is answers that must never be qu...

  • |Y-m-d H:i:s Glen  - Cherries!?!1?1/
    Cherries? in the bible? I love cherries! I did not see one! Man! I want
    cherries! Lots and lots of cherries! Where did you see the cherry pickers? I
    have seen pomaganits and olives and grapes. Even straw and wheat and barley.
    But Cherries...Hmmm no cherries. Man I am gonna have to start all over from the
    begining!

    So then let us talk about cherry picking in science shall we? What will be
    accepted and what won't. This is a weak position, sister.
