heart exercise emotional
Worship is not just an emotional exercise but a response of the heart built on truth about God.
christian lying heart
The ability to make judgments lies at the heart of Christian living. Unless we are able to judge doctrine, lifestyles, and entertainment, unless we are able to distinguish between outer appearance and inner character, we just might miss the purpose for which God placed us on this earth. We might end up accepting a stone for bread and a snake for a fish.
heart looks reactions
How do you know you have a servant's heart? Look at your reaction when you are treated like one.
heart exercise emotional
We must worship in truth. Worship is not just an emotional exercise but a response of the heart built on truth about God. "The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth" (Psm. 145:18). Worship that is not based on God's Word is but an emotional encounter with oneself.
heart agreement spirit
Worship is not an external activity precipitated by the right environment. To worship in spirit is to draw near to God with an undivided heart. We must come in full agreement without hiding anything or disregarding His will.
heart past grace
There is more grace in God's heart than there is sin in your past.
christian sex thinking
I think that as Christians we need to walk the delicate balance between standing in opposition to same-sex marriages and yet showing that we can do that without becoming angry or hateful.
eye hair color
We must distinguish between genes that cause physical characteristics, like the color of your eyes or hair, over which you have no control, and what we could call 'behavioral dispositions'. We are responsible for our behavior, no matter what those dispositions are.
sex people support
We need a broad-based coalition that is way beyond the bounds of Christianity to be able to help people to understand that there is a groundswell of support for the marriage amendment and for opposition to same-sex marriages.
christmas celebration celebrate
Christmas can be transformed into a celebration more attuned to honoring the One whose birthday we celebrate.
christmas country brother
Our brothers and sisters in Muslim countries can't celebrate Christmas-or any aspect of their faith-openly for fear of persecution and death. And yet we, with all our freedoms, often choose to make Christmas a celebration of commercialism!
wisdom spiritual maturity
There are no shortcuts to spiritual maturity. It takes time to be holy.
giving eternity servant
Only eternal values can give meaning to temporal ones. Time must be the servant of eternity.
emotional calm gods-will
Emotional peace and calm come after doing God's will and not before.
