Crossridge Church

QUOTE - Belgic Confession - 1561
“This church has existed from the beginning of the world and will be to the end, for Christ is an eternal King who cannot be without subjects. The holy Church is preserved by God against the fury of the whole world, although for a while it may look very small and as extinct in the eyes of man.”

QUOTE - Dale Ralph Davis
“The unhurriedness of God seems strange – and unwelcome – to us. The passage of time with no noticeable moves toward promise-fulfillment poses a problem for faith. We prefer a deity with high blood pressure who is on the move, whose promises are delivered with microwaveable instructions.”

QUOTE - Chad Bird
“Jacob seems to be anything but a model disciple. He’s a trickster, liar, and selfishly ambitious man who fathers children with four women and leads a dysfunctional family rife with jealousy and backstabbing. But Jacob is also Israel, the namesake of the Old Testament community of God, chosen and blessed. As such, this sinner-saint, who limps along with the Lord, burdened by weakness and beset by problems, is the mirror image of all of us who follow Jesus. In his life, we see our lives, our struggles, our failures, and most especially the God who loves us and chooses us as his own.”
