A believer rarely matures far beyond the spiritual maturity of their local church.
Therefore, one of the greatest indicators of a believer’s sanctification is the spiritual maturity of the local church to which they belong.
God is sovereign in creation (Col 1:16-17), God is sovereign in salvation (Rom 8:29-30), God is sovereign in sanctification (Phil 2:13), God is sovereign in trials (Genesis 59:20), God is sovereign in politics (Rom 13:1), God is sovereign in our circumstances (Mat 10:29-31)
God is good in creation (Gen 1:31), good in salvation (Rom 2:4), good in provision (Mat 7:11), good in guidance (Ps 25:8), good in trials (James 1:2-3), good in eternity (Ps 16:11)
@SecVetAffairs I am a 100% DV. This enables my wife to access VA healthcare at certain VA locations until she reaches age 65. But we live in the Houston area, and none of the VA facilities in Texas have the CITI program. Is it possible to make the program nationwide?
On this day, in 1555, Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridley were martyred for their faith in Oxford. Latimer encouraged Ridley, “Be of good comfort, Master Ridley, and play the man; we shall this day light such a candle, by God’s grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out.”
Sin is powerful … but God.
Wickedness is prevalent … but God.
Evil is raging … but God.
Satan is active … but God.
Hatred is rampant … but God.
Hell is real … but God.
Our hope and joy depend on that glorious phrase, “But God!”
