The Ekklesia A.D. has moved
This will be my last post on the Ekklesia A.D. site, but don’t be sad I will be blogging for 121. Here is the web address http://121youth.wordpress.com/
My good friend Ricky and I got together and combined both our blogs to make 121 (1st century truth, 21st century believers). Cool name right? lol. The content of what I will be posting will be the same as it is here on the Ekklesia A.D. site. I will continue the theological side and Ricky will bring the cultural side of Christianity. I think it will be a great blend.
Please check it out, I am sure it will bless you.
Verse of the week
1 Corinthians 15:10
10But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
Quote of the week
“A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble.” – Charles Spugeon
Excerpt from Martin Luther’s Bondage of the Will
“There are two causes which require such things to be preached. The first is, the humbling of our pride, and the knowledge of the grace of God. the second is, Christian faith itself.”
“First, God has promised certainly His grace to the humbled: that is, to the self-deploring and despairing. But a man cannot be thoroughly humbled, until he comes to know that his salvation is utterly beyond his own powers, counsel, endeavours, will, and works, and absolutely depending on the will, counsel, pleasure, and work of another, that is, of God only.”
Quote of the week

Verse of the week
