Truth Applications - designed to reflect a determination to search for, understand, and explain truth.
  • I believe that, as Immanuel, Jesus embodies and reveals the most significant truth (John 1:14; 8:32; 14:6, 9; 17:17).
  • I believe everyone should know, love, and live in imitation of his example and teaching.
My search is admittedly incomplete since I am, by virtue of limited understanding and failure to match God's glory, imperfect. But, like Paul, I seek to better "know him … pressing on … because Christ Jesus has made me his own" (Philippians 3:12). ~ David Anguish

"Christian worship is the most momentous, the most urgent, the most glorious action that can take place in human life." ~ Karl Barth

Thought-provoking Quotations
(Click here for archived quotations)
  • “Lament, with all its confusion, desperation, and doubt, expresses the sufferer’s faith. Lament does not disown God; it appeals to him. It calls upon God to do something, to help, to rescue the one who has been faithful to him. It cries, ‘My God!’” ~ John Mark Hicks, Yet Will I Trust Him: Understanding God in a Suffering World (College Press Publishing Company, 1999), 19. 
  • “I recently had a discussion with someone who informed me that the lament psalms were composed by a ‘bunch of whiners.’ We are also told from the time we are young that we should not complain. The perception many have about the lament psalms is that they are inappropriate and faithless whining, since we are the people who live A. D., not B. C., and should be characterized by praise. To tell someone ‘You should not lament’ strikes me as strange as a father telling an injured child, ‘Stop that crying! It’s not right!’ Believers are not special because they lament—everyone laments. What is different about the believer’s lament is that it is addressed to the Lord. It is our faithful cry to our Father, when all we have left to offer is our lament. To fail to bring our laments to the Lord, on the other hand, is faithless.” ~ R. Mark Shipp, “Psalm 22: The Prayer of the Righteous Sufferer,” Christian Studies 25 (2011–2012), 52–53
