The Greatest Threat To Your Ministry, Dear

It Is Unbiblical And Arrogant To Try To Worship God For Any Other Reason Than The Pleasure To Be Had In Him.

My Feelings Are Not God. God Is God. My Feelings Do Not Define Truth. God’s Word Defines Truth. My Feelings Are Echoes And Responses To What My Mind Perceives. And Sometimes - Many Times - My Feelings Are Out Of Sync With The Truth. When That Happens - And It Happens Every Day In Some Measure - I Try Not To Bend The Truth To Justify My Imperfect Feelings, But Rather, I Plead With God: Purify My Perceptions Of Your Truth And Transform My Feelings So That They Are In Sync With The Truth.

It Is Not Surprising That Prayer Malfunctions When We Try To Make It A Domestic Intercom To Call Upstairs For More Comforts In The Den.

Every Criticism Or Slight Against You, Warranted Or Not, Received Or Endured Humbly, Is Written In Heaven For Your Reward.

Husbands And Wives, Recognize That In Marriage You Have Become One Flesh. If You Live For Your Private Pleasure At The Expense Of Your Spouse, You Are Living Against Yourself And Destroying Your Joy. But If You Devote Yourself With All Your Heart To The Holy Joy Of Your Spouse, You Will Also Be Living For Your Joy And Making A Marriage After The Image Of Christ And His Church.
