The Comparison Dilemma

"There must be a perfect model before us before
we can discern our own departures from perfection."
C.H. Spurgeon

Let us not forget that Christianity bears the name of the founder and on Him is what it should be based. I am, we are a poor example of the perfection that is seen in Christ. Christian, stop seeking your worth in others who fall short as well as you. Attempt to be like Him by abiding in Him and your religion will die as well as your pride. Pastor J. Catoe

"But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,
by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world." Galatians 6:14

Who we are to be...

I. Our Foundation in the Word
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly,
II. Our Calling as we Live the Word
teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom,
III. Our Practice as we are Obedient to the Word
singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
IV. Our Evidence that the Word is in Us.
with thankfulness in your hearts to God. Col 3:16

What is Success?

So are you successful in your walk with Christ? Do you gauge your success by what you produce? Our success is in that we abide and obey Christ, but we will not always see outward the results. The reward comes from the labor for Christ... not the results.
"Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor." I Cor 3:8
