thedailywhat: Heartwarming Tearjerker of the Day: The sheer cliffs at the mouth of Sydney Harbor have long been a popular Australian suicide spot. But they’re about to get a lot more deadly — the local man who is credited with talking at least 160 people out of killing themselves since 1964 died this week. Window-watcher Don Ritchie, known as the Angel of the Gap, could spot the troubled ones from his home across the street; he’d wander down to the cliff-edge and calmly ask, “Can I help you in some way?” More often then not, he could. He’d chat with them a bit, then invite them back to his place for a cup of tea. “My ambition has always been to just get them away from the edge, to buy them time, to give them the opportunity to reflect and give them the chance to realize that things might look better the next morning,” Ritchie once said. “You just can’t sit there and watch them. You’ve got to try and save them.” [advocatingprogress] good on ya mate!

Wounded warriors being revived

As the wind of change begins to blow, it will revive many people who have been wounded by negative Christians and church experiences.

Many wounded warriors have been taken out of action in the Kingdom of God by “friendly fire” or attacks from other Christians. These wounded warriors will play a strong role in this next move of God.

I saw many wounded warriors lying on the Kingdom battlefield with no one to attend to their wounds.  Then the wind of change blew life into them.  They were strengthened and began to rise up with new vision.

You have something to offer the desperate world. We should be bread to the hungry and drink to the thirsty. If the world around us is falling to hell in a hand basket, it is the Church’s fault. We are the gates of Heaven: the very hands and feet of Jesus in the earth today. Jacob’s ladder lives in our bellies!

Jesus is not here; He left us here to get the job done with His Spirit. We are the salt and light of the world. If the world is getting sour, it is because we are not being salty enough. If it is dark, we are not shining brightly enough.

bold like lions: Celebrating the Victories

salempeters:

Proverbs 17:3-“The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold,
But the Lord tests the hearts.”

A couple months ago, I began asking God for the focus that Jesus had. As you read through scriptures you see Jesus never being shaken by His circumstances, people, predicaments,…

dude, that’s a good word.  selah.

Before Jesus ascended He said “Tag you’re it!” you are the light to the world. Not just a reflection!

Bill Johnson (via loveismycommandment)

Revival is not a rare occurrence where churches and stadiums are filled to capacity.

Revival is the life of one Christian, one awakened Christ-like one, who changes the world, one heart at a time.

yes!  the most valuable real estate in the kingdom is still the hearts & lives of the redeemed.  not churches, cities, or nations.

The disciples wanted a kingdom without a cross. Many would-be ‘orthodox’ or ‘conservative’ Christians in our world have wanted a cross without a kingdom, an abstract ‘atonement’ that would have nothing to do with this world except to provide the means of escaping it.

Tom Wright, Simply Jesus, p. 169. (via hargaden)

reading this book now… love it.
