*******************************************************
What a convicting thought, that everything we are doing will either have a negative or a positive effect in eternity.
We are to glory in Christ Jesus. Putting no confidence in the flesh. That should be our passion. Christ alone.
Didn't you love her list of reasons that people boast? Baptist of the baptist. A 5 point Calvinist. A Presbyterian of Presbyterians. Taking pride in denominations and achievements. Evaluating on what we do and don't do. PRIDE. Such zeal in prideful things. Following that zeal and not passionate about Christ. Those THINGS have nothing to do with Christ. Let Christ be your passion.
JOY - despite imprisonment (chapter 1)
JOY - despite people (chapter 2)
JOY - despite things (chapter 3)
