Some will say we need to add “good works” to Christ’s work to be saved. Others will say since we are saved by God’s grace and because all of our sins are already forgiven in Christ we can live as we wish. So, the first says following God’s law is necessary to be saved. The other says following God’s law is unnecessary once saved. Both are terribly wrong! We are saved by grace alone, but the grace that saves is never alone. God’s grace will always give us the desire and ability to follow God. The greatest evidence that we are recipients of God’s grace will be seen through our obedience – not to get saved or stay saved, but proof that we truly are already saved.

A Message from our Provider:

“Let us thank God heartily as often as we pray that we have His Spirit in us to teach us to pray. Thanksgiving will draw our hearts out to God and keep us engaged with Him; it will take our attention from ourselves and give the Spirit room in our hearts. #Andrew Murray”

Often those who are really bound in the sin of cynicism demonstrate all of these unpleasant traits. These traits are super easy to observe in others either through one’s critical comments or glum facial expressions. They see the glass always half full. They are the princes of pessimism. They crush any excitement in a room. They destroy morale in any team. They major on the negative. They are quick to see the worst. Whenever they want to meet, it’s always problem related. They squash good ideas and the potential from others. They are grumpy. They complain about everything. They are the party of “no.” They have a problem with everyone and everything. They are experts at discovering everybody’s flaws except their own. They stand as the self-appointed judges of the world and measure others by their own standards of righteousness. And they often look as friendly as a rattlesnake.
