Christian joy is letting Christ live His life out through you so that what He is, you become.
-
If you are a Christian, your search for approval should be over.

Worship seals all prayers at the front and at the back. Always pray with praise beginning and praise ending.

When the Bible uses the words salvation, Savior, and save, it's speaking of the total work of God in bringing people from a state of death - hopeless separation from God - to a state of everlasting life through the forgiveness of sin, based on the merits of Christ Jesus who died and rose again. Saving us is the greatest and most concrete demonstration of God's love, the definitive display of His grace throughout time and eternity.
