"For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things."
(Acts 15:28)
I attempt, for the most part, in my writings to keep before my readers the necessary things in the Christian life, that is, those things that matter. I think the council at Jerusalem would have agreed with my early mentor (Dr. Joe Henry Hankins) saying, "I try not to put more of a burden on a man than he already has."
I have observed, generally speaking, that most defeats come into the saints’ life when they fail to put into daily practice one or more of the following. They need to be indelibly written into our hearts and minds. They're the road to victory. When conscious of these four factual truths no amount of darkness, depression, etc. can get you off course.
WHAT YOU WERE
Hopelessly, helplessly lost. Without Christ and God, in the world.
WHAT YOU ARE
A child of the King. Dug from the hole of the pit and seated in heavenly places.
WHERE YOU'RE HEADED
Peter says you have reservations in heaven.
