    Professors Anthony Campbell and Mark O’Brian stated something else in addition to my earlier reference.

    Listen to this from R.C. Sproul: “Perhaps the most difficult task for us to perform is to rely on God’s grace and God’s grace alone for our salvation.

    Like a horse has to be saddle broke to submit to the rider, you have to be broken before God, admitting that you are powerless to bring down your Jericho. Being good doesn’t make it happen, it’s God’s battle, but being submitted will. The fact is, we need an army to do it and God has one. A ...read more

    QUOTE: “You are called not so much to do great things, as to be a great person--and that person is Jesus Christ. The church of Jesus Christ is the resident presence of Jesus in the world.

    The Lord has more need of our weakness than of our strength: our strength is often His rival; our weakness, His servant, drawing on His resources, and showing forth His glory. Man’s extremity is God’s opportunity; man’s security is Satan’s opportunity. God’s way is not to take His children out ...read more

    When you pray do you seek His Face or His Hand? In most of our praying we are not seeking God’s Face, but rather seeking His hand, looking for God to provide something for us.
