“You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.”
~ Matthew 7:13-14
If the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God is maligned, His LOVE will be Questioned.
It is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God that makes His LOVE attractive.
If we don't love God’s righteousness we don’t truly love Him.
Atheism is more a denial of God’s righteousness than of His existence.
The one we seek to please is the one we love.
The greatest expression of true love was uttered by our Lord Jesus when He said, “Not my will but Yours be done.”
Wisdom is a treasure.
Go on frequent treasure hunts.
God’s word does not merely have power. God’s word is the power of God.
Spiritual blindness is the greatest of all problems.
Jesus came to heal those who are humble enough to acknowledge their blindness.
It is easier to see the problems; only the faithful can see the blessings.
The opposite of faith is emotions.
Emotional reaction makes for poor decisions which in turn create poor outcomes.
Living by faith is processing life through the lens and filter of God’s word.
Ask, seek, knock are all a form of asking only at three different levels.
Asking is the first grade. There are some things available merely if we ask for them.
Seek: The next level requires more of us than merely asking. We have to seek for them. Asking is relatively easy. Seeking is more involved. We have to put in the effort.
Knock: Knocking is the highest level of prayer. Here we put ourselves out. We are ready to pay a greater price than when we were seeking.
