Lives Of Faith Are The Great Mirror

At One Level, The Message Of The Book Of Ruth Is That The Life Of The Godly Is Not A Straight Line To Glory, But They Do Get There.

We Can Say That True Gratitude Does Not Give Rise To The Debtor's Ethic Because It Gives Rise To Faith In Future Grace. With True Gratitude There Is Such A Delight In The Worth Of God's Past Grace, That We Are Driven On To Experience More And More Of It In The Future...it Is Done By Transforming Gratitude Into Faith As It Turns From Contemplating The Pleasures Of Past Grace And Starts Contemplating The Promises Of The Future.

You Don’t Have To Know A Lot Of Things For Your Life To Make A Lasting Difference In The World. But You Do Have To Know The Few Great Things That Matter, Perhaps Just One, And Then Be Willing To Live For Them And Die For Them. The People That Make A Durable Difference In The World Are Not The People Who Have Mastered Many Things, But Who Have Been Mastered By One Great Thing.

The Call Of God Creates Sight In Us. It's The Work Of God In Our Hearts To Awaken Us Before His Word.

The Inner Essence Of Worship Is Cherishing Christ As Gain - Indeed As More Gain Than All That Life Can Offer - Family, Career, Retirement, Fame, Food, Friends. The Essence Of Worship Is Experiencing Christ As Gain. Or To Use Words That We Love To Use Around Here: It Is Savoring Christ, Treasuring Christ, Being Satisfied With Christ.
