4 Things I Need Today Jesus Will Give
1. Humility to accept my 100% lack of omnicompetence
2. Grace to repent, recenter, and collapse on Jesus
3. Power not to sulk, get stuck in shame or blaming
4. Peace in knowing nothing can diminish or separate me from his love

There is a great gulf between the Christianity that wrestles with whether to worship at the cost of imprisonment and death, and the Christianity that wrestles with whether the kids should play soccer on Sunday morning.

The ultimate point of this most sacred of days:

If you've collapsed into his open arms, everything's going to be okay.

Prioritize church. It’s not just about you.

Friendliness is contagious.

The glory of God is the solution to human boredom. But even that undersells it. Saying the glory of God is the solution to boredom is like saying Niagara Falls is wet or Mt. Everest is tall.

Christianity is not a spectator sport. Commit to a church.

But, in this life, those who have Christ experience the assurance of God’s love, peace of conscience, joy in the Holy Spirit, increase of grace, and perseverance until glory.

Sounds exactly like what each of us needs today.

Trust Jesus.

The benefits of salvation in Christ are not solely the future blessings of our eternal glory with Him after death.

If I please Jesus, it doesn’t matter whom I displease.

If I displease Jesus, it doesn’t matter whom I please.

Giving makes us happy, and God loves a cheerful giver, so if we’re not happy being generous then we should keep giving until we are.

Thankful for the opportunity to preach God’s Word to His people at @princetownepc this morning. Looking at Malachi 2…our unfaithfulness & God’s FAITHFULNESS.

One of the major shifts in life occurs when we’re no longer defined by what's been done TO us by others (victimization), but by what’s been done FOR us by Jesus (substitution).

Good morning Fall.

“Conversion to Christ means also conversion to the community of Christ, as people turn from themselves to him, and from 'this corrupt generation' to the alternative society which he is gathering round himself.”
