Worship Is The Specific Act Of Ascribing

This Is The Essence Of God's Sovereignty; His Absolute Independence To Do As He Pleases And His Absolute Control Over The Actions Of All His Creatures. No Creature, Person, Or Empire Can Either Thwart His Will Or Act Outside The Bounds Of His Will.

The Gospel Is Not Only The Most Important Message In All Of History; It Is The Only Essential Message In All Of History.

Every Day God Patiently Bears With Us, And Every Day We Are Tempted To Become Impatient With Our Friends, Neighbors, And Loved Ones. And Our Faults And Failures Before God Are So Much More Serious Than The Petty Actions Of Others That Tend To Irritate Us! God Calls Us To Graciously Bear With The Weaknesses Of Others, Tolerating Them And Forgiving Them Even As He Has Forgiven Us.

Bitterness Arises In Our Hearts When We Do Not Trust In The Sovereign Rule Of God In Our Lives

In Order To Trust God, We Must Always View Our Adverse Circumstances Through The Eyes Of Faith, Not Of Sense. And Just As The Faith Of Salvation Comes Through Hearing The Message Of The Gospel (romans 10:17), So The Faith To Trust God In Adversity Comes Through The Word Of God Alone. It Is Only In The Scriptures That We Find An Adequate View Of God's Relationship To And Involvement In Our Painful Circumstances. It Is Only From The Scriptures, Applied To Our Hearts By The Holy Spirit, That We Receive The Grace To Trust God In Adversity.
