Praxis: Right-doing, Part 7
Does the king of heaven – the LORD of angel armies – have complete and total access to the resources that He has entrusted to you? True, He could demand it. True, He may have control of it already. But, He asks you to willingly give. He wants your will! God wants willful people to sacrifice their preferences so that He can do a visibly powerful work in and through them.
Praxis: Right-doing, Part 6
Grace abounds when believers are enjoying the goodness of Father God. The proud will always keep God at an arms distance, for they are secure with some part of themselves. The humble know the sweetness of communion with the good Father, because they have nothing else to cling to but His riches.

The tongue is a microscope on the soul. Our heart is magnified in our words. In language, we hear in specifics what we believe about what we worship and live for. Like a cup overflowing, it is unmistakable what kind of liquid is in the cup. When we speak, it is unmistakable what is in our heart and soul.

Beautiful Attitudes, Part 9
Insults are platforms for the worship of God. When others spit in our face, we can praise God lavishly. When others let hate spew out liberally, we can choose to be a fountain of blessing in the name of Jesus.
Beautiful Attitudes, Part 8
We reflect our conception of God to the world by the way we live. When the world presses down on us, what will spill out? Will our old nature raise its rough head? Will Jesus living in us speak the Words of Scripture? We must practice living the regenerate life that God has placed within our hearts.
