There is grace in the fact that God calls all of his children into his service. That call is one of his means of rescuing your from your bondage to self, to experience the huge and ongoing blessing of living for something greater than you.
@JCRyle Love better God and man with whole heart soul mind and strength and with genuine affection
Be wiser than yesterday by applying the Word and fearing God
Live bigger than yourself by seeking first his kingdom for God's glory
Don't waste your life for only life 4 Christ will last.
@birdchadlouis Thank you for this. Love J.I. Packer's thought about arguing with oneself and reasoning with oneself out of doubts and and unbelief to get a clear apprehension of God's character and power and Glory

Jesus, like "attic foam insulation," fill every corridor, crack, and crevice in our hearts. “The mouth speaks what fills the heart “ (Matt.12:34). “A wise tongue brings healing” (Prov.12:18). Only speak words that meet the need, build up, and give grace (Eph. 4:29).
I don’t know where the banking crisis will end up. Here’s what I know:
• God uses crises to get our attention.
• Anything that makes us need Him is a blessing.
• Material loss can cause us to become more detached from earthly goods and more attached to heavenly gain.

I am thankful to welcome Dr. Hershael York to the First Baptist pulpit this morning. He is one of my absolute favorite preachers, and will be one of yours too! I hope you can join us.
A man does not become a Christian by taking a decision.
He is made a Christian by God, who had marked him out before the foundation of the world and who sees to it that he is born, and sees to it that he believes.

Christopher Wordsworth (Master of Trinity, b. 1774, brother of the poet William) was so eager to be a doctrinally correct Anglican that Southey said he subscribed to "forty articles, thirty-nine not being enough for his capacious conscience."
Remember: the things people applaud in your life are the very things that will wreck your soul.
Do more, bigger, better, faster is found in the devil's ministry (See desert temptations), not Jesus'.
