Duty Or Guilt May Motivate

Faith In Christ And A Reliance On Ourselves, Even To The Smallest Degree, Are Mutually Exclusive.

Both Gentleness And Meekness Are Born Of Power, Not Weakness. There Is A Pseudo-gentlene Ss That Is Effeminate, And There Is A Pseudo-meekness That Is Cowardly. But A Christian Is To Be Gentle And Meek Because Those Are Godlike Virtues... We Should Never Be Afraid, Therefore, That The Gentleness Of The Spirit Means Weakness Of Character. It Takes Strength, God's Strength, To Be Truly Gentle.

Grace... Expresses Two Complementary Thoughts: God's Unmerited Favor To Us Through Christ, And God's Divine Assistance To Us Through The Holy Spirit.

May We Be As Severe With Ourselves Over Our Own Subtle Sins As We Are With The Vile Sins We Condemn In Others

I Realize Anew That, Just As We Must Learn To Obey God One Choice At A Time, We Must Also Learn To Trust God One Circumstance At A Time. Trusting God Is Not A Matter Of My Feelings But Of My Will. I Never Feel Like Trusting God When Adversity Strikes, But I Can Choose To Do So Even When I Don’t Feel Like It. That Act Of The Will, Though, Must Be Based On Belief, And Belief Must Be Based On Truth.
