"The church is not a theological classroom. It is a conversion, confession, repentance, reconciliation, forgiveness, and sanctification center, where flawed people place their trust in Christ, gather to know and love him better, and learn to love others as he has designed. The church is messy and inefficient, but it is God's wonderful mess--the place where he radically transforms hearts and lives." (by 'church' this author is referring to a body of believers, not a building of any kind) ~Paul David Tripp ("Instrument's in the Redeemer's Hands")
"When a certain set of desires rules our hearts, we reduce our prayers to the menu of human desire." ~Paul David Tripp ("Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands")
"Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known." ~1 Corinthians 13:12
Thankful today that we are called to Christ himself, not to perfection, for He is indeed the perfecter of our faith.
