    Contributed by Patrick Nix on Jul 9, 2010
     | 3,851 views

    The battle that every Christian fights is not won or lost by whether we get more of God (we’ve already got all He’s going to give: 100%), the real issue is whether or not God will get more of us!

    The Bible is clear: if you are Christian, then you have the Holy Spirit living inside of you… buried below layers of body and soul (Romans 8:9-11). He’ll always be there – never leaving or forsaking you (Hebrews 13:5). In fact, the Apostle Paul even sarcastically reminds a church that has ...read more

    Longsuffering isn’t a word we use much any more; it has nearly faded from modern vocabulary. We often substitute the word ‘patience’ instead - and rightly so, because they are so similar in meaning. Patience has the connotation of waiting, while longsuffe
