Wisdom is the use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom. – Charles Spurgeon We have [...] If you are hung up on money you may not even be a Christian, because people in Christ’s Kingdom are laying up treasure in heaven — investing in eternity. – John MacArthur The preachers I have heard are right. It will take a massive outpouring of God’s grace to free us from the grasp of [...] As Christians, there may be times when we doubt our salvation. But Christians can take comfort that God is faithful to us, despite our ability to waiver. While this is not a licence to abuse grace, it as a truth we must grasp and hold on to for comfort and strength to persevere. I’ll stop [...] Most of man’s boasting is worldly boasting. Look at my car! I got a 1580 on my SATs… That year I received a 5% raise… Look at my beautiful family… How often I forget that boasting in what I do and what I possess without giving the glory to God is improper! Paul, the servant [...] Scripture has many examples of sarcastic speech. Paul uses it with the Corinthians. Or consider Elijah, who mocks the prophets of Baal: And at noon Elijah mocked them, saying, “Cry aloud, for he is a god.

See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. v2. Beloved, we are God’s [...] The mandate of scripture is the most significant reason Christians should not have lawsuits against fellow believers (brothers in good standing before their church). When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints? Or do you not know that the saints will [...] Have you ever pitied yourself, telling yourself that you deserve better? I deserve a vacation, obedient children, respect, a good wife, a new toy, or a promotion at work. Self-pity is often caused by discontent and pride… “I deserve better than this.” In reality, I don’t deserve anything good from God. I have forgotten that [...] |
