Be Glad In The Lord And Receive

Sin Is What You Do When You Are Not Satisfied In God.

It Is A Myth That Man In His Natural State Is Genuinely Seeking God. Men Do Seek God. But They Do Not Seek Him For Who He Is. They Seek Him In A Pinch As One Who Might Preserve Them From Death Or Enhance Their Worldly Enjoyments. Apart From Conversion, No One Comes To The Light Of God.

Sleep Is A Daily Reminder From God That We Are Not God. Once A Day God Sends Us To Bed Like Patients With A Sickness. The Sickness Is A Chronic Tendency To Think We Are In Control And That Our Work Is Indispensable. To Cure Us Of This Disease God Turns Us Into Helpless Sacks Of Sand Once A Day.

Christmas: The Son Of God Expressing The Love Of God To Save Us From The Wrath Of God So We Could Enjoy The Presence Of God.

Humble Us, O God, Under Your Mighty Hand, And Let Us Rise, Not As Professionals, But As Witnesses And Partakers Of The Sufferings Of Christ.
