  • The Temptation To Be Perfect Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 18, 2000
     | 4,817 views

    To be perfect as God is perfect, paradoxically, requires us to understand our own weaknesses and failures the way God does, and to love ourselves, despite those weaknesses and failures, the way God does.

    It may sound like a contradiction in terms to have a sermon on the temptation to be perfect. After all aren’t temptations about being imperfect. Doesn’t God want us to be perfect just as he’s perfect? But you know, there is such a thing as the temptation to be perfect. All of us are subject to it ...read more

To defeat the emeny we must have some understanding of his military strategy, we need to know how he fights. (Ill.) When Cassius Clay ...read more
