deTheos

He sees, He knows, He will reward

“It is thrilling to know that the Lord really knows who is loving Him and truly serving Him and delighting himself or herself in Him, and that some of the shiniest rewards and gorgeous surprises are ahead. That day will come when people who think they have never been seen–in dingy sordid little ‘holes’ of history, whether in prison or caves, in wars or in unemployment, in factories or on farms–will discover that their serving was recognized all the time, by the One who matters. So often human beings have false measuring sticks or warped scales.”

–Edith Schaeffer, The Tapestry

  • What is deTheos?

    The two Greek words de ("but") and Theos ("God") are the first two words of Ephesians 2:4: "But God, who is rich in mercy..." Because of God's great love and grace extending to us in Jesus Christ, we are forgiven, redeemed and able to know, love + enjoy God more fully, ever-increasing and forever.
    This site contains the thoughts and conclusions and journeys of the Patterson family -- Jeff, Kari and Dutch -- who have experienced the front-end of God's amazing grace, and continue to delight in His unfailing love.
    Read more about us, and what we hold most precious.
