KEY PRINCIPLES FROM THIS MESSAGE:

We all minister to one another and encourage one another. We all NEED it, in both the giving and receiving directions, ala Rom 1:12!

Giving comes first in God's order of things! Without it, we won't discover the great peace and blessings He intends for us!

GIVE to someone else, FIRST, and you watch how then, according to God's ways, encouragement comes right back to you, so you are strengthened too!

Do you want to live out an ordinary life, or a supernatural one???

God's love is not just a platitude, it's real. It takes action for the lost, for those in need. Since He took great action for us, we are to joyfully take action for others, whatever that might entail. There isn't a higher calling in the universe than to live in God's sacrificial love.

If you want to be like Christ (which I know you do), then you have to live like Him, following His example.

Ritual without reality is dead works. While good works reveal our faith (ala Jas 2), our works do not justify us (Ro 3:28). We are always justified by faith (Ro 4:1-12).

“Conscience”: it is the point at which a person confronts God’s holiness.
