Prosperity Cannot Be A Proof Of God's

The Great Barrier To Worship Among God's People Is Not That We Are Always Seeking Our Own Satisfaction, But That Our Seeking Is So Weak And Half-hearted That We Settle For Little Sips At Broken Cisterns When The Fountain Of Life Is Just Over The Next Hill.

We Can Say That True Gratitude Does Not Give Rise To The Debtor's Ethic Because It Gives Rise To Faith In Future Grace. With True Gratitude There Is Such A Delight In The Worth Of God's Past Grace, That We Are Driven On To Experience More And More Of It In The Future...it Is Done By Transforming Gratitude Into Faith As It Turns From Contemplating The Pleasures Of Past Grace And Starts Contemplating The Promises Of The Future.

God Aims To Exalt Himself By Working For Those Who Wait For Him.

Marriage. The Roots Are Deep. The Covenant Is Solid. The Love Is Sweet. Life Is Hard. And God Is Good.

My Feelings Are Not God. God Is God. My Feelings Do Not Define Truth. God’s Word Defines Truth. My Feelings Are Echoes And Responses To What My Mind Perceives. And Sometimes - Many Times - My Feelings Are Out Of Sync With The Truth. When That Happens - And It Happens Every Day In Some Measure - I Try Not To Bend The Truth To Justify My Imperfect Feelings, But Rather, I Plead With God: Purify My Perceptions Of Your Truth And Transform My Feelings So That They Are In Sync With The Truth.
