street spirit (fade out)..

this machine will not communicate

God made us: invented us as a man invents an engine. A car is made to run on petrol, and it would not run properly on anything else. Now God designed the human machine to run on Himself. He himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our spirits were designed to feed on. There is no other. That is why it is just no good asking God to make us happy in our own way without bothering about religion. God cannot give us happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.
CS Lewis, 'Mere Christianity'

these days?

This life well it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like i had planned..

Our worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God's grace. And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God's grace.
Jerry Bridges

w.a.s.t.e

Our days are numbered. One of the primary goals in our lives should be to prepare for our last day. The legacy we leave is not just in our possessions, but in the quality of our lives. What preparations should we be making now? The greatest waste in all of our earth, which cannot be recycled or reclaimed, is our waste of the time that God has given us each day.
Billy Graham

no need to argue..

it's a wuthering heights kind of a day. concrete coloured skies and atmospheric sound of the cranberries in the background..

When you are arguing against Him you are arguing against the very power that makes you able to argue at all.

point of view..

You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.
Atticus Finch

phew.. for a minute there..

We ought to give thanks for all fortunes: if it is "good", because it is good, if "bad" because it works in us patience, humility and the contempt of this world and the hope of our eternal country.
CS Lewis

fascination street..

life is a long and windy road.. check out these quotes from famous people over time who have been fascinated with Jesus.

As a child I received instruction both in the Bible and in the Talmud. I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene....No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life.
Albert Einstein, physicist and atheist (1879-1955)

I am an historian, I am not a believer, but I must confess as a historian that this penniless preacher from Nazareth is irrevocably the very center of history. Jesus Christ is easily the most dominant figure in all history.
H.G. Wells, British author (1866-1946)

I know men and I tell you that Jesus Christ is no mere man. Between Him and every other person in the world there is no possible term of comparison. Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I have founded empires. But on what did we rest the creation of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded His empire upon love; and at this hour millions of men would die for Him
Napoleon Bonaparte, general and politician of France (1769-1821)
