You Don't Give God Authority Over Your

If You Can't See The Sun You Will Be Impressed With A Street Light. If You've Never Felt Thunder And Lightning You'll Be Impressed With Fireworks. And If You Turn Your Back On The Greatness And Majesty Of God You'll Fall In Love With A World Of Shadows And Short-lived Pleasures.

Christ Did Not Die To Make Good Works Merely Possible Or To Produce A Half-hearted Pursuit. He Died To Produce In Us A Passion For Good Deeds. Christian Purity Is Not The Mere Avoidance Of Evil, But The Pursuit Of Good.

Grace Is Not Simply Leniency When We Have Sinned. Grace Is The Enabling Gift Of God Not To Sin. Grace Is Power, Not Just Pardon.

Isn't It Ironic That Today People Say, 'if You Know The Love Of God, You Don't Have To Worry When You Go On In Sin.' But The Apostle John Said, 'if You Know The Love Of God, You Won't Be Able To Go On In Sin.'

Does Christ Get A Good Reputation Because Of The Way We Live? Is The Excellence Of Christ Displayed In Our Lives? That Should Matter To Us, Not Whether We Ourselves Are Praised.
