I liked this post from Rob so much I decided to steal it and post it as well, with attribution. https://www.upwardthought.org/media/869 A little while ago, my friend Chris made a video where he provided what I found to be a lovely description of the Lord.

“By my strong reasoning shall my servants justify all my words and all my commandments which I have given unto you.” To justify does not just mean what is fair or equitable, but what is best. We cease to sin as we come to a greater understanding as to why we should not sin and…

Truth is not democratic. The laws of cause and effect are not democratic. Happiness, prosperity, and freedom are only had by taking calculated actions in obedience to divine law and in recognition of unchanging eternal principles.

8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. 9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God… and they repented not to give him glory. (Revelation 16:8 – 9) 10 [And] they shall not hunger…

1 JAMES, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into diverse temptations;3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect…
