For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. 2 Corinthians 4:6-7
Jars of clay was a common ancient metaphor for human weakness. Talk about boasting in our weakness...
And I find myself here on my knees again, caught up in grace like an avalanche.

“The church is not built of bricks and mortar. It’s not the stained glass window and it’s not the towering steeple bearing the cross. It’s not the age old chapel and it’s not the shiny new sanctuary. The church is not an organization, it’s not a denomination. It was never designed to be a moral police force or a political persuasion, nor a social club for Christians. The church is the...
Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!

“I feel like the only reason you would ever go a day without reading the Bible would be because you’re putting something above God.” -Scott
Why does my atheist best friend know that and most of my Christian friends don’t…
Scott: I had a nightmare about trek-x.
Me: oh gosh, what is it?
Scott: I dreamt that trek-x was a leadership camp or something, not the mission training thing you're going to. You went to it for three weeks and told me I should go and I did and they were crazy and wouldn't let me leave. And Steven Tyler was the head of the camp....and I kept trying to get messages out to people to come save me.
Me: hahahahahahahahaha

Which hand holds your soul?
Do you wanna guess one?
If that scares you to death, may that be your lesson.
It is your decision, make it the best one.
Let Your Word move in power Let what’s dead come to life
I'm ready to see us not going to church, but being...
I'm glad classic Church membership is declining:
wisdomofscripture:
I look forward to the generation when there aren’t people who go to church for the sake of tradition and spoil the image of the bride.
I look forward to the generation when the church is made up of regenerated believers with a mission.

I feel like the fact that Scott and I just sent each other the exact same verse at the exact same time really says something about our relationship.
Not sure exactly what though..
What I've come to realize this week
Scott is quite literally irreplaceable.
I hung out with Russell a bunch over Christmas break. Adore him, always had a blast. I’ve been hanging out with Jacob nonstop the past couple weeks. Also having a blast with him and already am very fond of him. I’m so incredibly excited we’re all doing trek-x and they’ll be in Nashville with me.
But even with these two amazing...
Life is so weird.
I am small
And I speak when I’m spoken to
But I am willing to risk it all
I say Your name
Just Your name and I’m ready to jump
Even ready to fall…

Oh, that God would raise up missionaries. I don’t wish the same things your parents want for you. They want for you security and insurance and nice homes. They want for you cars and respect. I want for you the same thing I want for my son. That one day he takes a banner — the…

You are the hope I have for change,
You are the only chance I’ll take.
Me: How was Bible study the Last night Paige?
Paige: Well, it was alright. It was kinda weird, I don't think I'm going to get much out if it. I would get more out of just doing a study with you.
Me: Oh, we can definitely do that if you want!
Scott: Or you could just listen to Francis Chan all day.
.....so Scott is a Francis Chan fan now?

So..
My mom posted a Francis Chan sermon on my wall earlier today, and Scott just listened to the whole thing while doing his homework.
Then he asked me to find some sermons for him to listen to that I thought he’d find interesting.
Where is this coming from? Please be God..
If ya’ll could be praying for him that would be amazing.
Life's too short to be lukewarm.
