... Self-control Is Not Control By Oneself

This Is The Secret Of Being Content: To Learn And Accept That We Live Daily By God's Unmerited Favor Given Through Christ, And That We Can Respond To Any And Every Situation By His Divine Enablement Through The Holy Spirit.

We Could Not Take One Step In The Pursuit Of Holiness If God In His Grace Had Not First Delivered Us From The Dominion Of Sin And Brought Us Into Union With His Risen Son. Salvation Is By Grace And Sanctification Is By Grace.

God Is Worthy Of My Loving Obedience Because Of Who He Is, Not Because Of What He Does.

Sin Is Wrong, Not Because Of What It Does To Me, Or My Spouse, Or Child, Or Neighbor, But Because It Is An Act Of Rebellion Against The Infinitely Holy And Majestic God.

We Need To Call Sin What The Bible Calls It And Not Soften It With Modern Expressions Borrowed From Our Culture.
