Simply Irresistible

Yesterday, I came across and tweeted this quote from Blaise Pascal, “The gospel to me is simply irresistible.”

As we are about to launch the Radical series in just a few days at LifePoint, the Gospel is shining brighter and brighter as God stirs in me and LifePoint. Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) is an amazing character from history. He was a child prodigy, French mathematician, physicist, inventor, writer and theologian/philosopher. Here are a few more quotes by Pascal that thrust us God-ward in our thoughts and hopefully our actions:

• “There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus.”
• “Kind words do not cost much. Yet they accomplish much.”
• “There are only two kinds of men: the righteous who believe they are sinners, the sinners who believe they are righteous.”
• “The heart has reasons that reason cannot know.”
