As we get to know the God of all grace more and more, He develops in us two strategic relational realities: humility and faith. Relational realities are spiritual qualities that become practically real as a result of a growing relationship with Christ. We have looked at these two spiritual qualities many times throughout our life and walk with the Lord.

Any theology that doesn't lead to knowing, loving, and enjoying God isn't a theology worth having.

We talk a lot about love in our culture, and it appears to mean many things to many people. There is perhaps no greater example of love, in my opinion than acts of bravery on behalf of another. The birth of Jesus Christ was a deliberate act of bravery meant to not only save but also inspire.

“The fact that Mary and Joseph brought birds instead of a lamb reveals their poverty…. Jesus wasn’t born in the lap of luxury.”

Remember, our deliverance came in the form of a baby born in Bethlehem when the Kingdom of God invaded the earth with healings, miracles, deliverance, salvation, sacrifice, resurrection, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit!

As long as God keeps you here, Earth is exactly where He wants you. He’s preparing you for another world. He knows precisely what He’s doing. Through suffering, difficulty, and depression He’s expanding your capacity for eternal joy

If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were just those who thought most of the next. ~

82% of people would come to church if a friend invited them. Only 2% of Christians bother. - Carey Nieuwhof
The concept of “blind faith” is a recent invention, found nowhere in Scripture.

following Jesus as a disciple is another way to relate rightly to the Lord in humility and faith. Discipleship begins with renouncing self-life and confessing death for self-life. "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily." Initially and continually, these humble and trusting responses to Jesus deal with self, which is the basic obstruction to following Him. Ultimately, three simple words express the very heart of discipleship: "and follow Me."

A very wise person once told me...
When it’s sent from God, it will come with confirmation and peace.
When it isn’t sent from God, it will come with confusion, division, heartache, and fear.

The cross is the lightning rod of grace that short circuits God’s wrath to Christ so that only the light of His love remains for believers.

“A mother is a son’s, first true love. A son, especially that first son, is a mother’s, last true love,” Denzel Washington
Jesus’ birth is meaningless without His sinless life. His sinless life is meaningless without His cross. His cross is meaningless without His resurrection.
With Jesus, it’s all or nothing.
