Rooted ~ Josh Foliart Part 2

Josh Foliart did visit my church a while back.  To be totally honest I don't remember him at all, I do remember buying his book.  Of which I just spent the last week or so reading.  I normally review my read books on a separate blog, but feel the nature of this one should be here instead.  AND there is a lot of it I want to revisit.  Sooooo, forewarning, MOST of what I'm going to share is word for word from the book.  There are 7 sections in the book, so this will be multi-part posting.  I will be posting here what I took from the book and the stuff I want to revisit, any quotes that are not specified from other sources, are quoted from the book Rooted by Josh Foliart.  

Section 1

"Recently, dream researchers identified the twelve most common dream themes of people from all around the world."

"It's time to prepare!"

"For some, the Sermon on the Mount raises a question of whether or not one may lose their salvation.  I am convinced that we expose our hearts when dwelling on questions like that."

Always Forward!!!

Section 2

"If you hear hooves prancing outside that window, it's probably a horse.  I guess it could be a zebra, but most likely, it's a horse."   With God, Zebras can happen.  

Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, a one-of-a-kind jewel of american art history.  Life-sized portrayal of the Last Supper.  Made from over 17,000 spools of thread and has to viewed through a crystal cause it's upside down. 

Whoever finds their life will lost it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.  Matthew 10:39

"When Jesus washed Judas' feet, He extended His kindness to an enemy whose heart was set on betrayal." When we see clearly, we can act courageously.  Proverbs 29:18

 A DIFFERENT DRUMMER
"Hungry hearts have always been the breeding ground for revolutionary leaders.  Henry David Thoreau once said, in his book Walden: "If a man loses pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.  Let him step to the music in which he hears, however measured, or far away."  Jesus wasn't trying to lose pace with His companions.  On the contrary, He was trying to open their ears to the heavenly music that is sung daily over the hurting and the hopeless."

"When you are too close to a situation, it is difficult to be objective about it"

In his book Culture of the Kingdom, Billy Humphrey has said:  "Jesus was not giving us a list of do's and don't's, He simply expressed his heart by revealing what was and is important to Him and His Father.  While many regard these as a list of rules and regulations, I like to think of them as the core values of the Kingdom."

"It's called love.  True love. "

"When a man finds himself at the end of his rope and without natural strength, he finds the need to approach the bridge through the gateway of humility"

"We cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven or partake in its pleasures with our pride sitting in the driver's seat of our lives."

"Holiness is not so much the ability to abstain from evil, but more the ability to act and think like a son or daughter of God."
