Quotes about galilee (13 Quotes)


    In our family, there was no clear line between religion and fly fishing. We lived at the junction of great trout rivers in western Montana, and our father was a Presbyterian minister and a fly fisherman who tied his own flies and taught others.

    In the days of His earthly ministry, only those could speak to him who came where He was if He was in Galilee, men could not find Him in Jerusalem if He was in Jerusalem, men could not find Him in Galilee. His Ascension means that He is perfectly united with God we are with Him wherever we are present to God and that is everywhere and always. Because He is 'in Heaven' He is everywhere on earth because He is ascended, He is here now. Our devotion is not to hold us by the empty tomb it must lift up our hearts to heaven so that we too 'in heart and mind thither accent and with Him continually dwell' it must also send us forth into the world to do His will and these are not two things, but one.
