If it seems like God is being distant, it’s probably because you follow God at a distance.

“Self-righteousness is the art of…being most bothered by somebody else’s sin….pursuing a PhD in the faults of others while being content with a GED-level grasp of your own. To the degree you’re…grieved by your own faults, you’ll extend charity toward others.” –
Matt Smethurst
What death did to Jesus is NOTHING compared to what Jesus did to death!

Songs of praise written during and after the Puritan era were based solely upon the Word of God. There are hundreds of powerful hymns of praise that are seemingly forgotten––unknown treasures to our children. They need to be memorized and sung! Many songs of praise sung in churches today are shallow; they lack the depth of doctrine and glory given to Jesus’ name.

All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name All hail the power of Jesus' Name! Let angels prostrate fall; Bring forth the royal diadem, And crown Him Lord of all! Bring forth the royal diadem Ye chose seed of Israel's race, Ye ransomed from the fall, Hail Him Who saves you by His grace, And crown Him Lord of all! Edward Perronet - 1779~
Stand Up, Stand Up For Jesus
Stand up, stand up for Jesus, Stand in his strength alone; The arm of flesh will fail you, Ye dare not trust your own. Put on the gospel armor, Each piece put on with prayer; Where duty calls or danger, Be never wanting there. George Duffield Jr. -1858~
The gift of song was given to man that he should proclaim the Word of God through music.

Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion –it is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.

John Calvin worried about any suggestion that God has feelings. He even wrote in his commentary on Hosea, “For it must ever be remembered, that God is exempt from every passion.”
While I respect Calvin, I disagree with him on this point
change comes through brutal honesty and vulnerability before God,” writes Dan Allender and Tremper Longman in The Cry of the Soul.
You don’t have to go to heathen lands today to find false gods. America is full of them. Whatever you love more than God is your idol.

the Law was given "so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God." In other words, if we (like Biscuit) were unaware of the Law, then how could we be considered Lawbreakers? However, we have been given the Law and choose to break it regardless. Therefore we have no excuse and are held responsible for our transgressions by God.

Entranced by this concept, St. Augustine wrote, “The harmony between the single and the double...has been naturally so implanted in us (by whom indeed, if not by Him who created us?) that not even the illiterate can remain unaware of it.”
The purpose is not that you might get more of the Holy Spirit, but the Holy Spirit might get more of you.
