Worship From The Heart In

If There Is Not At Least A Yearning In Our Hearts To Live A Holy Life Pleasing To God, We Need To Seriously Question Whether Our Faith In Christ Is Genuine.

Because Peace Is A Fruit Of The Spirit, We Are Dependent Upon The Spirit's Work In Our Lives To Produce The Desire And The Means To Pursue Peace. But We Are Also Responsible To Use The Means He Has Given Us And To Take All Practical Steps To Attain Both Peace Within And Peace With Others.

In A Sermon Entitled “god's Providence,” C. H. Spurgeon Said, “napoleon Once Heard It Said, That Man Proposes And God Disposes. 'ah,' Said Napoleon, 'but I Propose And Dispose Too.' How Do You Think He Proposed And Disposed? He Proposed To Go And Take Russia; He Proposed To Make All Europe His. He Proposed To Destroy That Power, And How Did He Come Back Again? How Had He Disposed It? He Came Back Solitary And Alone, His Mighty Army Perished And Wasted, Having Well-nigh Eaten And Devoured One Another Through Hunger. Man Proposes And God Disposes.

God’s Love To Us Cannot Fail Any More Than His Love To Christ Can Fail.

Here Is A Spiritual Principle: We Cannot Exercise Love Unless We Are Experiencing Grace. You Cannot Truly Love Others Unless You Are Convinced That God's Love For You Is Unconditional, Based Solely On The Merit Of Christ, Not On Your Performance. Our Love, Either To God Or To Others, Can Only Be A Response To His Love For Us.
