Author Excerpts:
"The decision to set the mind on the higher things of life is an act of the will. That is why celebration is a Discipline. It is not something that falls on our heads. It is the result of a consciously chosen way of thinking and living.
Of all people, we should be the most free, alive, interesting. Celebration adds a note of gaiety and festivity to our lives. "
--Richard Foster, Celebration of Discipline
"Did God tell David to behave? No. He let him dance. Scripture doesn’t portray David dancing at any other time…but when God came to town, he couldn’t sit still. Maybe God wonders how we do. Do we not enjoy what David wanted? The presence of God. ...God’s present is his presence. His greatest gift is himself. God is with us. That’s reason to celebrate."
--Max Lucado, Facing Your Giants
"To go into the presence of God is not enough. To leave impressed at what you see is not enough. Only when you are affected to the point that it makes you a different person is it enough…He took away the very sin that made us unworthy. Then he made us worthy that we may 'declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light' (1 Pet 2:9)."
--Allen Wright (yes, our very own Allen!), What Are You Worth?
