God is most glorified in me when I am most satisfied in him.- John Piper

About Me

The enjoyment of [God] is the only happiness with which our souls can be satisfied. To go to heaven, fully to enjoy God, is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here. Fathers and mothers, husbands, wives, or children, or the company of earthly friends, are but shadows; but God is the substance. These are but scattered beams, but God is the sun. These are but streams. But God is the ocean. JONATHAN EDWARDS

My Interests

"I think we delight to praise what we enjoy because the praise not merely expresses but completes the enjoyment; it is its appointed consummation." - CS Lewis

I'd like to meet:

Christ is not only a remedy for your weariness and trouble, but he will give you an abundance of the contrary, joy and delight. They who come to Christ, do no only come to a resting-place after they have been wandering in a wilderness, but they come to a banqueting-house where they may rest, and where they may feast. They may cease from their former troubles and toils, and they may enter upon a course of delights and spiritual joys. JONATHAN EDWARDS

Music:

"If Words could kill a man, I'd bury you" Music is very powerful, it can move us to great emotional experiences, it can also brain wash us. Which isnt all bad, it depends i guess on what type of washer it is and where it was made. Enough nonsence, i love music, i hope you do to. Just remember if you arent a conscience listener you might find yourself thinking thoughts you really dont want to think. Just think about that for a while- Coram Deo

Movies:

I would exhort those who have entertained a hope of their being true converts--and who since their supposed conversion have led off the duty of secret prayer, and ordinarily allow themselves in the omission of it--to throw away their hope. If you have left off calling upon God, it is time for you to leave off hoping and flattering yourselves with an imagination that you are the children of God.-- Jonathan Edwards

Television:

Be assiduous in reading the Holy Scriptures. This is the fountain whence all knowledge in divinity must be derived. Therefore let not this treasure lie by you neglected..-- Jonathan Edwards

Books:

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose -- Jim Elliott

Heroes:

Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst." --John 6:35

Of the devil in movies

I find it funny that in many movies where the devil has a character it always seems that there is no God. Evil has a face and a person behind it, but the good is some unknown unfaced thing that no one...
