Quote by John M. Sheehan

“In my sin, my name began to fade in the sacred book before the Lamb as I dared to lift my eyes in wicked pride looking upon a cross I did see the sights of Jesus paying the price for me bowing my head in most profound humility a voice cried out to me I did this for you and my fading name was seen again for the Lamb was slain so I could see again!”

“When Adam and Eve bit into the fruit, therefore, they weren’t just violating some arbitrary command, “Don’t eat the fruit.” They were doing something much sadder and much more serious. They were rejecting God’s authority over them and declaring their independence from him. Adam and Eve wanted to be, as the Serpent promised them, “like God,” so both of them seized on what they thought was an opportunity to shed the vice-regency and take the crown itself. In all the universe, there was only one thing God had not placed under Adam’s feet—God himself. Yet Adam decided this arrangement was not good enough for him, and so he rebelled.”

“God does not declare us righteous because we are ourselves righteous. And thank God that is true, because none of us would meet that standard! No, God declares us righteous because by faith, we are clothed with Christ’s righteous life. God saves us by pure grace, not because of anything we have done, but solely because of what Jesus has done for us.”

“An iPhone can be a very useful tool; it can do real good. But it’s hard. In the same way that it’s difficult to be a good person, it’s hard. With it, you are easily susceptible to distraction, temptation, a spectrum of major and minor sins. They’re mostly the same ones easily tied up with the internet in general—lust, sloth, envy, pride—but on a mobile device they’re worse, more of an affront to God, because they tend to be committed at the expense of actual interaction with the world—the world He made, for you and for all.”
