The Journal of Jon

Faith - the visible expression of the invisible.

Christian Hedonism

"God is most glorified in us

when we are most satisfied in Him."

~John Piper

I'm amused by the simplicity: "no strings attached."

Jon Ross: Sometimes it seems like all of the words that could fit in the seas and the sky could not describe the emotion and passion of the human heart. The rising sun on the eastern horizon, the shimmering lake on a cool spring day, the falling snow drifting through the air in winter, the leaves weaving through the dry autumn wind - none can capture them in a paragraph; he can only watch and marvel. And so it is with me. Oft times I cannot find the words to express, but I feel the passion and marvel at the most Passionate Lover who spoke existence into being and being into existence. What am I that He should give thought to me? His mercy is new, His compassion is unfailing, His love is better than life.

Philippians 1:21

For me, to live is Christ; to die is gain.

Luke 14:33

So then, none of you can be My disciple who does not give up all his own possessions.

Psalm 63:3 (ESV)

Because your steadfast love is better than life,

my lips will praise you.

"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose." ~Jim Elliot
