    Anne Frank Quotes
    2025/01/06
    I'd just like to say thank you to my wife for lending her lovely voice to the role of playing Anne Frank. You really should hear her sing. It's truly something special.For in its innermost depths, youth is lonelier than old age. I read this saying in some book, and I've always remembered it. I found it to be true.Is it true then that grown-ups had a more difficult time here than we do? No, I know it isn't. Older people have formed their opinions about everything and don't waver before they act. It's twice as hard for us young ones to hold our ground and maintain our opinions at a time when all ideals have been shattered and destroyed. When people are showing their worst side and do not know whether to believe in truth and right in God.Anyone who claims that the older ones have a more difficult time here certainly doesn't realize to what extent our problems weigh down on us. Problems for which we are probably much too young, but which thrust themselves upon us continually until after a long time we think we've found a solution. But the solution doesn't seem able to resist the facts, which reduce it to nagging again.That's the difficulty in these times. Ideals, dreams, and cherished hopes rise within us only to meet the horrible truth and be shattered. It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them because in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can't build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death.I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness. I hear the ever-approaching thunder which will destroy us too. I think the old sufferings are new ones, and yet if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come out all right. That this cruelty too will end and that peace and tranquility will return again. In the meantime, I must uphold my ideals, for perhaps the time will come when I shall be able to carry them out.Yours, Anna.Anne Frank was a remarkable young soul, full of curiosity, questions, and a bright intellect. Yet for all her gifts, she lacked the light of truth. She wandered like so many others, clinging to fragile hopes and misplaced ideals, blind to the unchanging realities of God's word. Her belief in the goodness of humanity, though heartfelt, was tragically naive. The Bible makes it clear: "The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked; who can understand it?" (Jeremiah 17:9).How might her life and her writings have been different if she had been rooted in the truth of Scripture? Had her parents filled her heart with the word of God instead of the fleeting philosophies of man, she might have seen clearly the sinful condition of humanity. "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). This truth is not a lament but a starting point. Only when we understand the depth of our sin can we begin to grasp the height of God's grace. It's not despairing to acknowledge our brokenness; it's essential to appreciating redemption.Anne Frank's story isn't just a personal tragedy. It's a reminder of the moral bankruptcy of a world that has turned its back on God. The reality of sin is written all over her experience. She hid in an attic for two years not because the world was good, but because the world was profoundly evil. Her optimism that people were good at heart was a fragile hope that could not stand in the face of atrocities that defy imagination. This is the reality of sin: it destroys, it corrupts, it blinds. The hope Anne sought was not to be found in humanity, but in Christ. He declared, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life" (John 8:12).Even those who seem righteous are not exempt from sin's pervasive nature. Bishop William Beveridge confessed this so powerfully in his poem:"I cannot pray, but I sin.I cannot hear or preach a sermon,

  • You have not because you ask not.

    You have not because you ask not.
    2024/12/29
    You have not because you ask not.You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive because you ask with wrong motives that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.James 4:2-3Let’s get real. We’re pretty bad at asking for what we need. Think about it—how often do we run around trying to fix our problems on our own, only to end up frustrated, exhausted, and maybe a little hangry? James lays it out for us: “You do not have because you do not ask God.” And even when you do ask, James is like, “Yeah, but are you asking with the right motives?” Ouch. That’s like getting roasted by your favorite Bible verse.Humans are funny creatures, aren’t we? We’ve got this endless list of wants—some of them legit, like food and shelter, and some of them a little questionable, like a personal yacht or the ability to eat donuts without consequences. And what do we do? Instead of asking God, we hustle, we plot, we compare, we scroll through social media, see someone’s perfect life, and suddenly we’re spiraling. James is over here yelling, “Stop fighting and start praying.” But do we listen? Not usually.Here’s the thing: James isn’t against wanting things. He’s just calling out the way we go about it. We work ourselves into the ground, trying to control every outcome, and then wonder why we feel so empty. It’s like trying to assemble IKEA furniture without reading the instructions. Sure, you could do it your way, but you’re probably going to end up with a wobbly table and three leftover screws.Checking Your Motives in PrayerNow let’s talk about prayer. James doesn’t just tell us to pray—he tells us to pray right. And no, that doesn’t mean using fancy King James English or slipping in a “thee” and “thou” for extra points. It means checking your heart. Are you praying for God’s wisdom and guidance, or are you just trying to manifest a new car? God isn’t your personal Amazon Prime, ready to deliver your latest wish in two days or less. He’s looking at the why behind your prayer.This is where things get awkward, because let’s be honest—we’ve all prayed some questionable prayers. You know the ones. Like, “God, if you just let me win the lottery, I’ll totally donate… some of it… probably.” Or, “Lord, please let my boss call in sick so I can have a stress-free day.” James calls these out as praying with the wrong motives. God isn’t in the business of granting selfish wishes or helping you one-up your neighbor. Prayer isn’t about bending God’s will to match yours; it’s about aligning your heart with His.Here’s a fun question: How often do we completely skip the “asking God” step? Be honest. We’ll vent to our friends, write vague posts on Facebook like, “Ugh, today has been the worst,” and then drown our stress in a Netflix binge. Prayer feels too slow or too uncomfortable, so we try to fix everything ourselves. And when that doesn’t work, we treat God like the tech support guy you only call after smashing all the buttons didn’t solve the problem. “Well, nothing else worked—guess I’ll pray now!” No wonder James is like, “You have not because you ask not.”Focus on What Truly MattersBut James doesn’t stop there. He also warns about envy and comparison, and wow, does that hit home. We’re masters of the comparison game. We see someone’s vacation photos and suddenly feel like our whole life is boring. Or we hear about a coworker’s promotion and think, “Why not me?” James is telling us, “Stop it. You’re wasting your time.” Coveting what someone else has isn’t just bad for your soul—it’s a one-way ticket to frustration. Life isn’t about keeping up with the Joneses or one-upping your neighbor. It’s about seeking what God has planned for you.And let’s not forget about the church. Yep, James is coming for us too. How often do churches fall into the same traps? We pray for growth,
