I'm Not Perfect, But ... Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 21, 2003

We justify not being mature by claiming that we are just like everyone else, or that we are at least working on that goal. But our example is Jesus, who gathers up our incompleteness into Himself and shows us the way to mature.

Abiding In Perfect Love

Contributed by Glenn Bleakney on Jun 14, 2008

It is the desire of the heavenly Father for His people always to experience the full inheritance of His covenant love and mercy. The Apostle John calls such a place of attainment in God “perfect love”.

It is truly amazing to think of the mercy and forbearance that God bestows upon sinners. Undoubtedly, the Lord has the power to cut off our very existence. The Scripture affirms, “Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust” (Psalm ...read more

Practice Makes Perfect

Contributed by David Crank on Sep 12, 2011

Your personal best requires that you take on the mindset of an athlete. An athlete runs to win. They exercise disciplines for the win when the door opens for opportunity. They sacrifice for what they believe in.

Everyone has heard the phrase “Practice makes perfect” or at least I think they have. It’s such an old adage, I’m not sure if anyone knows who said it first. Regardless of who coined the phrase, the Bible is full of wisdom concerning this very notion of practice and results. ...read more

Not Perfect, Just Forgiven

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 30, 2009

Jesus’ call for us to be perfect is complemented by the Lord’s Prayer’s petition for forgiveness. "Trespasses" and "debts" are different nuances, and both need to be forgiven.

He marched up to me, stopped me in my tracks, fixed my eyes with his eagle look. And then slowly he raised both arms and clapped both hands on my shoulders, cleared his throat slightly, and intoned, "I forgive you.” And then, as quickly as he had encountered me, he walked away. Just dropped his ...read more
