We're More Concerned About Our Own "victory"

Here Is A Spiritual Principle: We Cannot Exercise Love Unless We Are Experiencing Grace. You Cannot Truly Love Others Unless You Are Convinced That God's Love For You Is Unconditional, Based Solely On The Merit Of Christ, Not On Your Performance. Our Love, Either To God Or To Others, Can Only Be A Response To His Love For Us.

Uncontrolled Temper Is Soon Dissipated On Others. Resentment, Bitterness, And Self-pity Build Up Inside Our Hearts And Eat Away At Our Spiritual Lives Like A Slowly Spreading Cancer.

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

God In His Infinite Wisdom Knows Exactly What Adversity We Need To Grow More And More Into The Likeness Of His Son. He Not Only Knows What We Need But When We Need It And How Best To Bring It To Pass In Out Lives. He Is The Perfect Teacher Or Coach. His Discipline Is Always Exactly Suited For Our Needs. He Never Overtrains By Allowing Too Much Adversity Into Our Lives.

It Is Just As Important To Trust God As It Is To Obey Him. When We Disobey God We Defy His Authority And Despise His Holiness. But When We Fail To Trust God We Doubt His Sovereignty And Question His Goodness.
