12.8.18 – “Christian practice without
principle leads to license while Christian principle without practice is
lifeless. We need both principle and practice to get a proper balance. Strive
for both and you will be the kind of disciple that God can use to accomplish
His will. Even in worship this is true for God is looking for those who will
worship Him in "spirit and truth." The church is starving for
“balanced believers!” S. E. Trail
My prayer for you today is that you will the “balance that leads to blessing” in your spiritual life!
James 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he beingnot a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. KJV
"Why is it," said the rich
man to his minister, "that people call me stingy when everyone knows that
when I die I'm leaving everything to the church?" "Let me tell you a
fable about the pig and the cow," said the minister. "The pig was
unpopular while the cow was beloved. This puzzled the pig. 'People speak warmly
of your gentle nature and your sorrowful eyes,' the pig said to the cow. 'They
think you're generous because each day you give them milk and cream. But what
about me? I give them everything I have. I give bacon and ham. I provide bristles
for brushes. They even pickle my feet! Yet not one likes me. Why is that?' Do you
know what the cow answered?" said the minister. "The cow said,
'Perhaps it is because I give while I'm still living.”
