Repentance is the inseparable companion of faith. All the while that we walk by faith and not by sight, the fear of repentance glitters in the eye of faith. That is not true repentance which does not come of faith in Jesus; and that is not true faith in Jesus which is not tinctured with repentance. Faith and repentance, like the Siamese twins, are vitally joined together. Faith and repentance are but two spokes in the same wheel, two handles of the same plow. Repentance has been well described as a heart broken for sin and from sin, and it may equally well be spoken of as turning and returning. It is a change of mind of the most thorough and radical sort, and it is attended with sorrow for the past and a resolve of amendment in the future. Repentance of sin and faith in divine pardon are the ways and woof of the fabric of real conversion.

“Mad at God? Sure you’ve got the right person?”

A 12 Point Cure for Complaining: 1. God commands me never to complain (Phil. 2:14). 2. God commands me to give thanks in every circumstance (1 Thes. 5:18). 3. God commands me to rejoice always, and especially in times of trial (1 Thes. 5:16; Jas. 1:2). 4. I always deserve much worse than what I am suffering now, in fact, I deserve hell (Lam. 3:39; Lk. 13:2-3). 5. In light of the eternal happiness and glory that I will experience in heaven, this present trial is extremely brief and insignificant, even if it were to last a lifetime (Rom. 8:18; 2 Cor. 4:19). 6. My suffering is far less than that which Christ suffered, and He did not complain (1 Pet. 2:23). 7. To complain is to say God is not just (Gen. 18:25). 8. Faith and prayer exclude complaining (Psm. 34:4). 9. This difficulty is being used by God for my good and it is foolish for me to complain against it (Rom. 8:28). 10. Those more faithful than I have suffered far worse than I, and did so without complaint (Heb. 11:35-39). 11. Complaining denies that God's grace is entirely sufficient (2 Cor. 12:9). 12. The greatest suffering, the worst trial or difficulty, can never rob me of that which is of greatest value to me and my greatest joy, namely the love of Christ (Rom. 8:35-39).
