Scripture memory is a tremendous blessing to the Christ-follower. 'Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.' Colossians 3:16 #LongViewLiving

There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, “Thy will be done,” and those to whom God says, in the end, “Thy will be done.” All that are in Hell, choose it. ~ C.S. Lewis #LongViewLiving

write them on the tablet of your heart.
Then you will win favor and a good name
in the sight of God and man.
~ Proverbs 3:3-4

“The instant that true faith is present in your soul there begins a change in your actual nature.” -R.C. Sproul
