“Repent when you fail, and immediately seek God’s forgiveness and restoration. Sin breaks our fellowship with God.”

Most of all we are to test them against the
standard of the Word of God.”

“Some people have a warped idea of living the Christian life. Seeing talented, successful Christians, they attempt to imitate them. For them, the grass on the other side of the fence is always greener. But when they discover that their own gifts are different or their contributions are more modest (or even invisible), they collapse in discouragement and overlook genuine opportunities that are open to them. They have forgotten that they are here to serve Christ, not themselves.”
