Love Provides The Motive For

The Sin Of Worldliness Is A Preoccupation With The Things Of This Temporal Life. It's Accepting And Going Along With The Views And Practices Of Society Around Us Without Discerning If They Are Biblical. I Believe That The Key To Our Tendencies Toward Worldliness Lies Primarily In The Two Words “going Along”. We Simply Go Along With The Values And Practices Of Society.

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.

Grace Is Never Cheap. It Is Absolutely Free To Us, But Infinitely Expensive To God... Anyone Who Is Prone To Use Grace As A License For Irresponsible, Sinful Behavior, Surely Does Not Appreciate The Infinite Price God Paid To Give Us His Grace.

As We Become Soft And Lazy In Our Bodies, We Tend To Become Soft And Lazy Spiritually.

Our Sins Are Forgiven And We Are Accepted As Righteous By God Because Of Both The Sinless Life And Sin-bearing Death Of Our Lord Jesus Christ. There Is No Greater Motivation For Dealing With Sin In Our Lives Than The Realization Of These Two Glorious Truths Of The Gospel.
