"Understanding the Bible properly requires that we clear our minds of all ideas, opinions, and systems of our own day and attempt to put ourselves in the times and surroundings of the Apostles and Prophets who wrote." -R.C. Sproul "The most crucial issue in missions is the centrality of God in the life of the church.

It is the imprint of God's objective truth on our inner life." - Nancy Pearcey "God is our refuge and strength, "Sing to God, sing praises to his name; lift up a song to him who rides through the deserts; his name is the Lord; exult before him! Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation." -Psalm 68-45 ESV Danny’s part one list for the Visual Theology 2022 Reading Challenge! #vtreadingchallenge Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” Part one of the Visual Theology/Tim Challies’ 2022 Christian Reading Challenge! #vtreadingchallenge
