Faith Enables Us To Obey When Obedience

From Our Limited Vantage Point, Our Lives Are Marked By An Endless Series Of Contingencies. We Frequently Find Ourselves, Instead Of Acting As We Planned, Reacting To An Unexpected Turn Of Events. We Make Plans But Are Often Forced To Change Those Plans. But There Are No Contingencies With God. Our Unexpected, Forced Change Of Plans Is A Part Of His Plan. God Is Never Surprised; Never Caught Off Guard; Never Frustrated By Unexpected Developments. God Does As He Pleases And That Which Pleases Him Is Always For His Glory And Our Good.

To Be Justified Means More Than To Be Declared "not Guilty." It Actually Means To Be Declared Righteous Before God. It Means God Has Imputed Or Charged The Guilt Of Our Sin To His Son, Jesus Christ, And Has Imputed Or Credited Christ's Righteousness To Us.

Every Day That We're Not Practicing Godliness We're Being Conformed To The World Of Ungodliness Around Us.

We Insist That God Must Surely Lead Everyone As We Believe He Has Led Us. We Refuse To Allow God The Freedom To Deal With Each Of Us As Individuals. When We Think Like That, We Are Legalistic.

Christ Exhausted The Cup Of God’s Wrath. For All Who Trust In Him There Is Nothing More In The Cup. It Is Empty.
