Birth According to Silas

"Well how do they get the belly open to get the baby out?".....Silas.

A Wedding Sermon from a Prison Cell

We have been married for 9 years today and this is the best reminder I can think of to post as a celebration not just of our marriage, but also of the institution of marriage and the grace of God.

I am so thankful for the work and faith of this man, Bonhoeffer. His book Discipleship is probably my most favorite aside from the bible, ever.

A Wedding Sermon From A Prison Cell by Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Old Dudes have some Pretty Cool Words to share....

Christ went more willingly to the cross than we do to the throne of grace (Thomas Watson).

There are no crown-wearers in heaven who were not first cross bearers here below. (CH Spurgeon )

They are following Christ, and they know where they are going. And even in the dark river, in the valley of the shadow of death--they feel a confidence that their Shepherd will be with them, and that His rod and His staff will comfort them. They would all tell you that they are poor wandering sheep, ashamed of the little fruit they bear. But still, as weak as they are, they are determined to follow on to the end, and to say, "None but Christ--in life and in death, in time and in eternity!" (J.C. Ryle)

Update......Well we're still crazy so not too much has changed!!

Obscene?

The most obscene symbol in human history is the Cross; yet in its ugliness it remains the most eloquent testimony to human dignity. —R.C. Sproul



No matter how beautiful we try to make it, the ugliness cannot be denied...the beauty lies in the God-man who took on this grotesque burden!

And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me......

The following are references from the NT pertaining to a subject that Will and I have been contemplating for about 2 years, the role and definition of persecution or struggle in the Christian life.
