    Christianity is not just a set of beliefs. James said the demons believe and tremble, but their belief doesn't save them, because they don't OBEY God. Our faith should cause us to walk, stand, live, and obey.

    Sometimes we feel that life is spinning out of control. In order to receive a spiritual breakthrough we might have to make a sacrifice, and a sacrifice must cost us something; for we can’t cheat the Lord and expect Him to bless us for it.
