"Sometimes we don't present the Gospel well enough for the non-elect to reject it."
- John MacArthur

"In the total expanse of the human life, there is not a single square inch of which Christ, who alone is sovereign, does not declare, 'That is mine'."
- Abraham Kuyper

"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."
- Westminister Confession of Faith (Chapter 5, Section 1)

"The wisdom of God has found a way for the love of God to deliver sinners from the wrath of God all the while upholding the righteousness of God!!"
- John Piper

"Grace is the pleasure of God to magnify the worth of God by giving sinners the right and power to delight in God without obscuring the glory of God!"
-John Piper

"The very One from Whom we need to be saved, is the One Who has saved us."
- R.C. Sproul

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll

"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther

"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."
- Dr. Joseph Ton, the exiled Romanian pastor (quoted by James Montgomery Boice)

"The best prayer I ever prayed had enough sin in it to condemn the whole world."
- John Bunyan

"If the Christian has lost sight of Calvary, that shows that he has lost his way."

For the first time in about 15 years, I did not get ANY games for Christmas. I did, however, get a $15 GameStop gift card from a friend, so I'll probably use that.

None (I've got too many now, anyways =p ), but I did get a 2000 Point Wii card and can now go online with my Wii. Did so, and got Castlevania IV and Gunstar Heroes on VC (so I guess that might count).

I didn't get any gaming stuff this year, but I will be purchasing both Guitar Hero games [after playing my best friend's copy of GH2 ~ yes, the first song we bought was Trogdor] and at least one guitar [I hear Sam's Club has deals on the GH2 bundle, and I may have to get GH and a second axe separately . . .]

Excellent find, Grub.

To find a new game used for 30$ is a great accomplishment.

Just hope it works. ;)

FF9 was a really good FF. Second to 7,8, and 10 (Tied for best to me) and then comes 6.

Have you played the ninth previously?

Of course it does ~ in fact, it could almost be called a gaming console! My reasons:

1] It is an object designed to facilitate the playing of multiple games and types of games

2] Nintendo made playing cards before they made electronic games. I kid you not.

P.S. I got Guitar Hero and GHII, and they both rock immensely.
