The 5 Best Quotes on Why God is Worthy + Free Printable





Here is my choice for the 
5 Best Quotes on the subject of

GOD is WORTHY







I am not a fan of QUOTES

In fact sometimes I get very annoyed at how people almost treat a quote
 as more important than the 
Word of God


I actually wrote a blog post about Do We Really Need This Quote?








However I do see that there are certain topics that there are some great quotes on from some very reliable people. This month of course we are thinking about "God is Worthy" so let's get encouraged with some quotes around this.

There are many quotes from so many people on the subject of how worthy God is but I prefer to only refer to or recommend ones from people who I trust as standing firm on the Word of God.

So in the list below I will quote


Not  Joel Osteen   but   Jerry Bridges

 Not  Lysa Terkeurst   but   Matt Pappa

Not  T.D. Jakes   but    J.C. Ryle





1.  Jerry Bridges

"God is worthy of my loving obedience because of who He is, not because of what He does."








2.  Matt Papa

"Church: if the world could see a snapshot of our worship today, would they perceive that we believe our God is worthy of praise?"







3.  D.A. Carson

"Worship is the proper response of all moral, sentient beings to God, ascribing all honour and worth to their Creator-God precisely because He is worthy, delightfully so."

4.  J.C. Ryle

"We can never make too much of Christ. He is worthy of all the honour that we can give Him."








5.  Bishop Joseph Hall


   "What I have done is worthy of nothing but silence and forgetfulness, but what God has done for me is worthy of everlasting and thankful memory.

EASTER - An Acronym to Remind Us about the Meaning of Easter



EASTER

What do you think of when you hear or see the word Easter?





You probably would include
Cross
Tomb
Angels
Disciples
Mary & Mary & Mary
or
bunnies
eggs
baskets
springtime


Here is another way to:


remind us of Easter

and 
what Easter should mean to us

and 
how we can share the Love of God to others at Easter Time

and
who Easter is for




Let's consider an Acronym of the word 


1.  E is for Everyone


Romans 3 v 23:  For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God









2. A is for Anyone


John 3 v 16:  For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son so that whosoever believes on His name shall be saved.







3. S is for Salvation


Acts 16 v 31:  Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.







4. T is for Today


Hebrews 13 v 8:  Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever







5. E is for Everlasting Life


John 6 v 47:  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.









6. R is for Resurrection


John 11 v 25:  Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life.






At Easter Time we learn exactly why we can have faith in God.


No-one has lived a perfect life except Jesus.
No-one is good enough to be in the presence of God.
But God still loves everyone so much that He provided a way for us to be with Him.
He sent Jesus to die for our sin, to be our Saviour.


Anyone means You, personally You, no matter who You are or what You have done.
Jesus died on the cross for You and He wants You to trust in Him and You will be saved.
This is a personal promise for You from the Saviour.


God wants us to trust in Him today and because He never changes He will forever keep His promises.
Jesus also never changes so today He is STILL the Saviour of the World.
He wants to be your personal Saviour.


On Easter Sunday we celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus, the day when Jesus rose from the dead and He is Alive forevermore.
Jesus is a living Saviour.







So
 is all about the fact that...


"JESUS  LIVES”

 and 
that is the Good News

of
Salvation Today

to
Everyone, Anyone, 

because
Jesus died

but
then

there was the

Resurrection

bringing

Good News

of

Everlasting Life

to

ALL  WHO  BELIEVE  IN  HIM

Thankful for More than the Silly Things that Make Me Laugh - Coffee & Conversation



I Love to laugh and giggle and I am so thankful that I have a husband who is full of fun and makes me laugh a lot.




There is only the two of us left at home now.


So you could think our home is quite quiet - which it is, 
but 
there is still normally something to have a laugh about.





You see Fred really does have a good sense of humour and of course after all these years together he knows how to make me laugh.

Like one day when I was standing in the kitchen checking my phone and he suddenly announced he was just going to delete his post (as we call the mail in the UK) and I turned round to see this.





Then there was the day he got excited when his new toy arrived.  
It's a Cajon and he just unpacked it and sat down on it and started drumming on it and singing and was as happy as a kid.





Or one Christmas time when we went for a walk around the grounds of a castle with Jonathan and when Jonathan wanted to take a picture of us from the top of the ruins Fred and I were joking around and acting stupid and giggling our heads off.





But sometimes Fred just has to smile his cute little boy smile at me and I can't help but laugh at him.
It brightens me up at any time.

 Just look at that smile and the twinkle in his eyes.







 Our kids might be grown up but they enjoy a laugh 
and some silly fun too.

Here's Daniel and his dad at Daniel's stag do.






Linda is often referred to as the random one because she just starts talking about whatever comes into her head and she thinks up 
the silliest presents at times.

This pic is when she posted about having had a scarecrow massacre.






Jonathan may be the oldest and everyone thinks "the most serious" 
but he is often on his phone sending silly pics to his friends and his brother & sister.  

This picture below was taken in The Netherlands on a family outing 
quite a few years ago while we were living in Belgium.







Now just in case you think that I am only making fun of my family I can assure you that I do silly things myself (and laugh at myself) - like when our nephew was running with the Olympic Torch and I let myself be caught in a picture running alongside him.  Everyone had a good laugh at that one.






And here I am with two friends doing some Hawaiian dancing at an Hawaiian Themed party we had in our house in Belgium





I hope you laugh at silly things.

I hope you are thankful for bits of fun daily 
and can see the humour and fun and enjoyment 
in things around you.







I believe it is good to laugh and to share fun times with others
 planned and unplanned.

And I believe that God has given us a life and friends and family 
that he wants us to enjoy.

I don't believe that God wants us to be grim and gloomy
 all the time.

I don't believe that as Christians we have to be quiet and serious
 all the time.

Laughter is good for you and having fun is good for you and it is also really good for relationships.


I am thankful to God 
for the good relationships, friends, memories, 
and adventures that I have had

BUT

mostly I am thankful for the relationship I have with God, 
where He cares for me 
and I am constantly learning to leave everything in His hands 
because
I am thankful that 
His ways are best and His timing is best.
