A motivational message is like the smell of bread. It excites your hunger but never fills it, and only leaves you emptier than before.
But the gospel gives Jesus, the Bread of life. He completes you and you find true rest and comfort.
Argentina will play in three World Cup finals in the Messi era.
And he led them as their captain, their top scorer, and their best player to all three finals.
Only 6 players in all of history can boast of playing in 3 FIFA WC final matches; none can boast of being their team’s best player in all three.
Do you know the crazier bit? Messi has won two FIFA World Cup player of tournament awards and he will certainly win a third regardless of what happens in the final.
He is above and beyond all. Past, Present and foreseeable future.
Shame on us for allowing there to be a debate. Can acknowledge the greatness of another without lying that anyone comes close to this.
Players like this are usually not meant to have team success. Somehow this man combines it all.
Pride hates correction; wisdom loves truth. The proud man feels self-sufficient; the wise man is eager to be helped.
The wise man is unbothered by the tone of his counsellor. The proud man demands that correction arrive in the perfect tone.
Normalise Identifying as a Christian entertainer, dears.
We've conflated the categories too much and it's causing unnecessary fights.
Charge for your VVIP 5m table with your chest. Let's know it's just Asake concert but for christians.
These arguments are not necessary.
Dear Christian creative,
I mean this sincerely.
Don't let anyone shame you into rejecting the Christian entertainer tag.
At the wedding in Cana the Lord must have danced the customary dance. We can't do it while singing hymns.
Please do your concert and charge if you must.
To confess one's sins (even repeatedly) each passing day, is not a denial of the grace of God, but an affirmation of the justice of God.
It is me declaring, that God sees me, he sees my sins, He does not ignore it, He deals with it in Christ.
Yes! My sins will never be the basis of his relationship with me, but my sins will not be ignored or treated lightly, and very importantly, my sins will diminish as I grow in grace, as I believe his Word, and trust in the power of His Holy Spirit.
The believer must acknowledge and confess his sins, he must hate his sins and he must love the God who calls his attention to it and offers him forgiveness in Christ.
