Sin Is What You Do When You

"how Are You Doing?" - - - Better Than I Deserve.

Prayer Causes Things To Happen That Wouldn't Happen If You Didn't Pray.

Faith Begins With A Backward Look At The Cross, But It Lives With A Forward Look At The Promises

Faith Stands Or Falls On The Truth That The Future With God Is More Satisfying Than The One Promised By Sin. Where This Truth Is Embraced And God Is Cherished Above All, The Power Of Sin Is Broken. The Power Of Sin Is The Power Of Deceit. Sin Has Power Through Promising A False Future. In Temptation Sin Comes To Us And Says: "the Future With God On His Narrow Way Is Hard And Unhappy, But The Way I Promise Is Pleasant And Satisfying." The Power Of Sin Is In The Power Of This Lie.

If You Don't Feel Strong Desires For The Manifestation Of The Glory Of God, It Is Not Because You Have Drunk Deeply And Are Satisfied. It Is Because You Have Nibbled So Long At The Table Of The World. Your Soul Is Stuffed With Small Things, And There Is No Room For The Great.
