All other institutions serve good and honorable purposes at present, but they await termination at the day of Christ’s return.
The church, in contrast, awaits Christ’s return as a day of consummation, when as the bride of Christ she will take her place at the wedding banquet of the Lamb (Eph. 5:22–32; Rev. 19:9–10).

Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working.
Pablo Picasso (via James Nord) -
There is always a danger that when we begin to see fruit in our lives, we’ll subtly begin to rely on that fruit for our salvation, instead of on Christ. Guard against that temptation, Christian. Realize that the fruit you bear is merely that — the fruit of a tree already made good by God’s grace in Christ. To rely on your own Christian fruit to secure God’s favor is ultimately to shift your faith from Jesus to yourself. And that is no salvation at all.
Greg Gilbert - “What is the Gospel?” (Wheaton, Ill.: Crossway Books, 2010), 82-83 [via http://firstimportance.org/2011/01/the-danger-of-misplaced-faith/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+OfFirstImportance+%28Of+First+Importance%29] -
We are now faced with the fact, my friends, that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there is such a thing as being too late. Procrastination is still the thief of time. Life often leaves us standing bare, naked, and dejected with a lost opportunity. The tide in the affairs of men does not remain at flood — it ebbs. We may cry out desperately for time to pause in her passage, but time is adamant to every plea and rushes on. Over the bleached bones and jumbled residues of numerous civilizations are written the pathetic words, ‘Too late.’

Baton Rouge Pilgrimage
the sleepy brother
some dude and the state capitol
stained glass at the old capitol
more of the same
the golden band from tiger land
stadium filling
hanging my head in shame from lsu mistakes
nightfall, death valley comes to life
me and the boys
fuel for the drive home
my view until 3am
