“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.”
