Sitting Under the Kudzu Vine

So the LORD God appointed a plant and it grew up over Jonah to be a shade over his head.

A Stubborn Sense of Place: Hebrews 11: 8-16

I imagine that Abraham thought of home, not to go back there, but because it was the only measure he had in his experience from which he could imagine the future. That’s the way we are. We only have our past and it is in terms of the best of those times that we think about the future. How else can we think of heaven except in terms of the past?

HOLINESS, THE IMPOSSIBLE DISCIPLINE

Our capacity to live a holy life is not in our native ability but in the fact that our Holy God lives in us and causes us to live in Him. Our resource is God himself. The grace that God extended to Abraham and the Old Testament saints, the same grace that caused God to become flesh and live with us and die for us and rise from the grave, still abides with us in our everyday living.
