Quotes to Inspire Awe & Action

I read at ArmyBarmy Blog a quote from James W. Douglass, referred by Aaron White (Friday, May 02, 2008).

It made me think about my friend Jarrod McKenna who is a revolutionary peace activist, based in Perth (but whose influence is world-shaking..)

I emailed it to him, and he made me famous! (His blog is much more widely read than mine…)

The joy of being connected. Thanks Jarrod!

The quote goes something like this:

“Jesus resisted evil with an intensity which revealed the uselessness and irrelevance of violence, and this resistance of love constitutes the Christian revolution.”
- James W. Douglass

Peace out.

Pleasing to Him.

I listened to some great teaching by Rob Bell today. I podcast the sermons from his church – Mars Hill Bible Church. Check it out, his teachings (and those from others who preach there) are refreshing, and normally the perfect length for the train ride to Uni!

Life has been a little messy lately, but I was reminded today that God is good (Hallelujah! – although it sucks that I needed reminding). And just because I generalise things, and universalise circumstances, doesn’t mean that things will not, turn out for my deliverance.

Thanks to your prayers, and the magnificent power and provision of the Spirit – they will. Check out Philippians 1:19.

On another note, I’m heading to Melbourne very early Wednesday morning. If anyone wants to catch up while I’m over there drop me a line, or an email kathleenpearce[at]gmail[dot]com

And I’ll leave you with my new favourite benediction…

Hebrews 13:20-21 (NIV)
May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
