I hate when you have ideas to write about ..but then you forget them later on, or a bunch of stuff that you want to remember for the rest of your life..but then when you go to write it down, absolutely gone. awesome.

couple quotes from today that I want to jot down

Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards. -Kierkegaard

And faith is concerned with a decision once for all. Faith is not an opinion replaceable by another opinion. A temporary believer does not know what faith is. Faith means a final relationship. Faith is concerned with God with what He has done for us once for all. That doesnt exclude the fact that there are fluctuations in faith, But seen with regard to the object, faith is a final thing. A man who believes once believes once for all. Don’t be afraid; regard everything as an invitation. Everyone who has to contend with unbelief should be advised he ought to not take his unbelief so seriously. - Karl Barth

..Revelation is meant t be understood, but to understand means to bring within some universe of discourse. Even a theology of the Word of God cannot avoid using the words of men.

But he has acquired the freedom to enjoy moral difficulties only at the cost of renouncing obedience. it is a retreat from the reality of God to the speculations of man, from faith to doubt. DB

You are not saved by grace and strengthened by works. -TS
