Counting The Cost

Random thoughts on walking with Jesus in this turvy-topsy world

About me

User: Jrobbins
I am a twenty-ish Christian living and working as an editor/writer in Texas. This is my first time using any technology more advanced than a microwave, so I'm sure much (unintentional) hilarity will ensue. I hope you enjoy the blog!

Getting back to the Word

"Have you ever thought about what life would be like if God had never given us His written Word?

Of course, we'd know that there is a God. Psalm 19 tells us that "the heavens declare the glory of God." But we wouldn't know what He's like. We wouldn't know how to please Him. We also wouldn't know right from wrong. We might experience some vague sense of guilt when we sin, but we wouldn't know why.

Imagine never hearing the promises of God, the commands of God, the will of God, or the ways of God. Thankfully, we don't have to exist in that kind of spiritual vacuum. God has spoken. He has revealed Himself to us. "

-Nancy Leigh DeMoss
