Jesus Did Not Die Just To Give

True Joy Comes Only From God And He Shares This Joy With Those Who Walk In Fellowship With Him.

Sometimes The End God Has In Mind Is To Exercise Our Faith, So He Brings Us Into Straitened Circumstances So That We Might Look Up To Him And See His Deliverance.

The Fruit Of The Spirit Is Fundamentally Relational. Rather Than Originating With Us, It Flows To Us From Our Union With Christ, And It Flows Beyond Us To Bring Us Into Fellowship With Others. The Secret Of This Flow - And Our Unity With God And Others - Is Humility.

That Which Should Distinguish The Suffering Of Believers From Unbelievers Is The Confidence That Our Suffering Is Under The Control Of An All-powerful And All-loving God. Our Suffering Has Meaning And Purpose In God's Eternal Plan, And He Brings Or Allows To Come Into Our Lives Only That Which Is For His Glory And Our Good.

The Sin Of Worldliness Is A Preoccupation With The Things Of This Temporal Life. It's Accepting And Going Along With The Views And Practices Of Society Around Us Without Discerning If They Are Biblical. I Believe That The Key To Our Tendencies Toward Worldliness Lies Primarily In The Two Words “going Along”. We Simply Go Along With The Values And Practices Of Society.
