Truly Great Quotes

"the main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing - and
the main thing is Christ."
~Clay Peck

"Salvation is a helmet, not a nightcap."
-Vance Havner

"Craving clarity, we attempt to eliminate the risk of trusting God."
-Brennan Manning.

These are truly great quotes

Quote 1: The main thing is Christ, and as Paul preaches, Christ crucified!

Quote 2: Salvation is a helmet and it is not 'sloppy' like a night cap. Our salvation is iron clad. It will protect us, if we put it on correctly. We are saved now and forever and it has no conditions except to believe!

Quote 3: I love this quote. If life is clear, then we do not need to rely on God. The main reason for this is very very simple, because God love us! Sounds weird? Look at it this way, God so loved us, that he wants us to keep relying on Him. Much like parents even when their children are grown, would want the children to rely on them for advice and comfort. If we who are evil able to love our children with such tenderness, how great is God's love!

So it is not because God do not want us to give us clarity, it is just that He would rather wants us to rely on Him, to build our faith and allow Him to bless according to His good plans for us (Jer 29:11) and His abundance. We are a nation of Royal Priesthood according to the priesthood of Melchizedek. We are prince and princesses of the Most High. He gave us that title through His son's sacrifice, so why don't rely on Him? (as this was typed, I am also in a state of struggle, to see God in my trying circumstances).

Be Blessed According to the Riches of Heaven through and in Christ.
