Whatever you love more than God is your idol.

“It gives me hope,” writes Kathleen Norris,“ that when God gazed on the sleeping Jacob, He looked right through the tough little schemer and saw something good, if only the capacity for awe, for recognizing God, and for worship. That Jacob will worship badly, trying to bargain with God, doesn’t seem to matter. God promises to be with him always.”
To fall in love with God is the greatest romance; to seek him the greatest adventure; to find him, the greatest human achievement.
~St. Augustine of Hippo
God gave us the Ten Commandments so we could identify sin ("become conscious of sin"), however, too many in our modern society have rejected the Law of God to replace it with their own set of values. The problem with this is twofold, first, if we author the Law then we can change it to suit ourselves; and second, it has nothing to do with God. How could we be so egotistical to think living within some ill-devised and sloppily-defined guidelines would ever prepare us or provide the righteousness God requires for eternal life?

Lord, You have made me a spiritual billionaire. May I so live?

“Jesus can’t speak of judgment day without putting himself at the center of our cosmic conclusion—he is the Judge…He owns divine titles; accepts divine worship; performs divine acts… In short, he walks around planet earth like he owns the place.”
Let every man abide in the calling wherein he is called unless there be to him some special call from God to devote himself to the ministry.
~C.H. Spurgeon~
God has made it plain to all who earnestly seek -- in Jesus Christ we will find His righteousness. Not in ourselves or the Law, but in Jesus.

Hey Christian- because Satan can’t drag you to Hell, he makes it his goal to make your life a living Hell So make sure to suit up, So you can stand up to his schemes! Ephesians 6:11 Jason Powell
The more our culture moves away from God, the more foolish it becomes. As God’s Word states, “Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools” (Romans 1:22).

Grace is the free favor of God; peace is the condition that results from its reception.

What immense spiritual wealth is ours in Christ! Some to experience today and some tomorrow. Some which are ours because of spiritual birth as a child of God. Some to be experienced only by deliberate faith appropriation.

Learn to put your hand on all spiritual blessings in Christ and say, ‘Mine’.

Next time you say "damn, must be nice" you might want to understand the lifestyle that has made it appealing to you!
8-5 didn't make it. Parking our ass on the couch to watch TV every night didn't make it. Sleeping in on Saturdays didn't make it. Calling in when sick didn't make it. Being content with where we're at didn't make it.
It came from some 15-20 hour days. It came from beating the sun up. It came from working on weekends. It came from sacrificing family time. It came from wanting a little better tomorrow at the expense of today.
These are a few things to consider before you throw out "damn, must be nice" at someone! We are all products of our competence. And extra efforts are what make the biggest differences at the end of the day!
