Hard work is vanity if you haven’t found rest for your soul.
I’m only here for a short time, I’ll still put in my best efforts towards all things but without selfish ambition.
My dreams are in the kingdom of heaven, I can’t achieve them in the land of the dead.
These trials been trialing 🫠
“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.”
James 1:2-3
"Atheism is a strange thing.
Even the demons never fell into that vice.”
- Charles Spurgeon
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GIVE UP YOUR INTELLECT TO TRUST THE BIBLE. YOU HAVE TO GIVE UP YOUR PRIDE.
- R.C. SPROUL
I’m a fool. I’m wise
In all the wisdom I've been given.
I'm still a fool, not because of my lack of wisdom...but because I fail to apply wisdom in certain situations.
I’m a wise fool. Wise enough to seek wisdom. But foolish enough to choose foolish things despite my wisdom.
Christianity ≠ Perfection
Christianity opens your eyes to your imperfection.
The question is:
Will you be a sinner who seeks God despite your sin?
Or a sinner who pushes God away because of your love for sin.
When I’m doing good. I seek His face.
When I fall short. I seek His face.
I need God. He doesn’t need me.
Salvation does not come from obedience to the law. It comes from the obedience of believing in Christ unto salvation.
99% of Jesus + 0.01% = Hell
100% Jesus = Life
The balance is here:
If you focus on the troubling realities of the world, you will only be overwhelmed and not have peace.
If you face those realities while focusing on God’s glory. Then you’ll be free and have peace.
Trust God.
In no way am I saying Satan is not at all an enemy.
But I have enough self awareness to know that I AM THE PROBLEM.
I can’t point the finger at anyone else but me.
I am a great sinner, I’m just grateful Jesus is an even greater savior.
My biggest enemy is not Satan, my biggest enemy is Rocky.
Fallen, fleshly, rebellious, selfish, lusting Rocky & he’s the only reason I’d go to hell. Satan doesn’t hold that power.
Sin is what will take me to hell, not Satan. Satan has a few things against me: my sin & flesh.
There is a big difference between when I read the Bible without praying vs when I read it after earnestly praying to God that He will meet me where I am as I read.
BIG DIFFERENCE. Like the Words literally come alive and jump off the page!
