"…to the praise of the glory of His grace…" Ephesians 1:6

Top quotes

I was asked to submit my top five quotes today for a project on parenting, coaching and life. This list would change most any time depending on when I was asked but these are some good ones. Here they are if you are interested.

My Top 5 would all be Bible verses so I gave two lists: Bible and everything else. My favorites right now: (Hebrews 10:34,39 “For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one…But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.”; Deuteronomy 32:47 (NASB) – “For it is not an idle word for you; indeed it is your life.”; 1 Corinthians 10:31 -“So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”; Psalm 90:12-14 “So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. Return, O Lord! How long? Have pity on your servants! Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.”; John 19:30 “It is finished.”
LIFE
John Piper – “God is most glorified in me when I am most satisfied in Him.”

Brad Arnold – “The more impossible the odds – the more glory is God’s.”

John Piper – “The gospel is not a way to get people to heaven; it is a way to get people to God…If we don’t want God above all things, we have not been converted by the gospel.”
COACHING
Anonymous – “Coaching football is way too small if we don’t leverage our influence to help the helpless and spread the greatness of God’s kingdom.”

PARENTING
Doug Johnson – In response to the question – Why didn’t you rebel and leave the Christian faith? “I could never get past the truth that my dad lived as though his God was really real.”
