Jordan and his Master's Thesis

After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it. 1 Timothy 6:7 (New Living Translation)

The LORD is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life – of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalm 27:1 (New International Version)

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” Matthew 22:37-39 (New International Version)

He answered: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
Luke 10:27 (New International Version)

Actually I wanted to post this a couple of days ago but didn’t have time back then.
With a bit of delay… May I present:

Hold on
[ + ] Show Lyrics[ - ] Hide Lyrics
When you don’t want to face another day
Seems like your life’s one big mistake
Failures from your former-self chase you
Listen close so you know what to do

You may not see it
and you may not feel it
But I’m holding you tightly
Your spirit is near me

so hold on, hold on,
it will not be long till it’s all over
Child hold on, hold on
Lay your weary head upon My shoulder

The rain is beating down so faithfully
But My love is more faithful, you will see
The winds will show no mercy for your face
But your heart is safe, secure inside My grace

You may not see it
and you may not feel it
But I’m holding you tightly
Your spirit is near me

so hold on, hold on,
it will not be long till it’s all over
Child hold on, hold on
Lay your weary head upon My shoulder

You may not see it
and you may not feel it
But I’m holding you tightly
Your spirit is near me
so hold on

hold on…

For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost. Luke 19:10 (New International Version)

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23 (New International Version)

God gives you a second chance, why not give God one? (origin unknown)

A gossip betrays a confidence; so avoid a man who talks too much.
Proverbs 20:19 (New International Version)

I read a quote a few years back that just absolutely floored me. It was in a book by a man named John Piper called “God is the Gospel.” In this book, he asks a question. He says that the critical question for our generation and for every generation is this: If you could have heaven with no sickness and with all the friends you ever had on earth, and all the food you ever liked, and all the leisure activities you ever enjoyed, and all the natural beauties you ever saw, all the physical pleasures you ever tasted, and no human conflict, or any natural disasters, could you be satisfied with heaven if Christ was not there? It was a great question. He goes on to ask, if you can have everything; you can have heaven right now – no more pain, no more tears, all the friends you ever had, all the physical pleasures you’ve ever experienced, no pain, no conflict, all the beauty, but Jesus wasn’t there, could you be content? Could you honestly answer, “No, I couldn’t stand that because I love Him; I’d have to have Him there; if He’s not there, then its not heaven”?

See, that’s what it means to be in love with Jesus and not just the things that He offers. Otherwise, it would be no different than marrying someone for his or her money. That’s about saying, “I love Jesus Christ. I love Him.” (Francis Chan)
