Rice, Orange And Pecan Salad

[Personal differences have many advantages]: They can encourage us to search the Scriptures (Psm. 119:71-72). They can help us think carefully about how and what we think or what we believe (Pro. 15:28). They can help us work harder at communicating effectively (Eph. 4:25). They can produce maturity and endurance (Jas. 1:2-5). They can help us sharpen one another (Pr. 27:17). They can strengthen our faith in the truth that God is working all things for our good (Rom. 8:28-29). They give us opportunity to practice servanthood and preferring one another (Phil. 2:2-3). They give us opportunity to love and glorify God (1 Cor. 10:31-32).

A Message from our Provider:

“A thankful heart is one of the primary identifying characteristics of a believer. It stands in stark contrast to pride, selfishness, and worry. And it helps fortify the believer’s trust in the Lord and reliance of His provision, even in the toughest times. No matter how choppy the seas become, a believer’s heart is buoyed by constant praise and gratefulness to the Lord. #John MacArthur”

What would you say of the man who saw his neighbor’s house in danger of being burned down, and never raised the cry of “fire?” What ought to be said of us as ministers if we call ourselves watchmen for souls, and yet see fires of hell raging in distance, and never give the alarm? Call it bad taste, if you like, to speak of hell. Call it charity to make things pleasant, and speak of smoothly, and soothe men with constant lullaby of peace. I have not read my Bible. My notion of charity is to warn men plainly of danger. My notion of taste in the ministerial office is to declare all the counsel of God.
