Welcome to my mind.
On a semi-related note, this article is from Desiring God:
Missionary to India, William Carey, once exhorted a Baptist gathering in England by saying, “Expect great things from God; attempt great things for God.” I love that quote.
But we must heed the Bible’s warning through Simon the Magician: if we attempt great things so that others will see us as great, we are in grave spiritual peril.
...We can all relate to Simon. We are all are tempted to pursue our own glory, even in the work of the kingdom. When we recognize that familiar craving we need to deal severely with it. We must confess it (often to others, not just God), repent, and resist. Because, if left alone, it can develop into a spiritual cancer that can blind us to real glory, and may ultimately kill us.
So, let us expect great things from God and attempt great things for God. But let us take Peter’s advice and do so “by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 4:11).
And that's how the cookie is devoured.
Don't want to lose my soul for what I believe is practical
I'm a prodigal coming back from a world that is temporal
So why gain it back and lose what's eternal
Flesh out the spirit and spirit away the carnal
By the Spirit-led revival through Jesus Immanuel
"Welcome to my mind" is the motto of your life & blog. HAHAHA hope all is well, john yeo!
