#OXYGEN14 DAY TWO HIGHLIGHTS

oxygen-2014-day-2

Today has been such a long and epic day! My heart is full. So much food for the soul that I almost broke twitter trying to share it all! Bed is wooing me to slumber, so here are some brief highlights of day two. [Actually, bed won the wooing competition, this post is now being finished on Wednesday morning!]

What Did You Expect?? by Paul Tripp

Protecting your marriage matters. Normally, Row and I read the bible together at night.

Focused on Christ

“Focus on Christ will always result in focus on the cross. You cannot be Christ-centered without becoming cross-centered. The crucified Christ is to be the center of everything I know about myself and my world. You cannot have any real hope for flawed people in a fallen world unless there is a Redeemer to rescue us from the evil that resides both inside and outside of us. Real restoration to God’s created design requires the cross. It is the cross of Christ that alone will restore my allegiance to Christ and his rightful place at the center of everything in my life.” (Paul Tripp)

“…Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5and that he appeared…” (1 Cor 15:3-4)
