The number of cattle in America has plummeted to its lowest point in decades, sparking concerns among ranchers about the fate of the U.S. beef industry.

"This is a bad situation for America's cattle farmers and America because we're producing 1 billion pounds less beef than we were in this country, just a year ago," John Boyd, Jr., president of the National Black Farmers Association, said Thursday on "Fox & Friends First."

"We're not investing in America's beef and cattle farmers, and Biden policies are hurting America's cattlemen, such as myself. They should be invested in America's cattle farmers and making sure that we have the tools needed to stay on the farm.

Now, if we want to understand this passage of Scripture in its correct context, it is very helpful if we can look at the Greek word for love, which is agape, and see what this love is all about. For this is not human love which is based in our emotions or that is based in the one we are loving, but this is love which comes from God and which prefers what God prefers, which is all that is holy, righteous, godly, upright, morally pure, honest, faithful, and obedient to our Lord and to his commandments under the New Covenant.

For this love engages doing for others what God prefers that we do whether or not our emotions feel the love. For we can even love those who hate us and who mistreat us and who do evil against us. We can do for them and to them what is loving and kind and godly even if our emotions are hurting from how they treated us. For this love centers in moral preference and it comes from God and so it will love like God loves us. For even when we were the Lord’s enemies, Jesus Christ died for us on that cross.

Now there are people who are misinterpreting this passage of Scripture because they are interpreting “love” with human understanding and not with biblical understanding. So they might end up condemning those who are living righteously and who are loving biblically because they are thinking humanly and not biblically. For they want the kind of love that just makes other people feel good about themselves, even if it requires lying to them and withholding the truth from them in order to make them feel good.

But in reality, a lot of that kind of “love” is selfish, and so it only says to others what makes them feel good because they want others to like them and to not turn against them. So they are not really loving like God loves, thinking about what is truly best for us, for what we need, but it is a very fleshly “love” that is often more about pleasing self than acting in true biblical love towards others. And so some of these people will condemn those who are loving biblically if that requires speaking the truth in love.

So, we need to understand this love from a biblical and godly perspective and realize that this isn’t all just about making other people feel good. Now are we to be encouragers? Absolutely! Are we to be those who make it a point to thank others and to acknowledge them and their accomplishments and who do acts of kindness towards others? Absolutely! But we are not to neglect agape love which considers other people’s true needs and which reaches out to meet those needs, even if it engages confronting sin.

So this agape love is not all about making everyone feel good about themselves all the time. There has to be a balance. For when God loves us, sometimes he encourages us in ways that bring us joy and happiness and that feel good to our emotions. And other times he encourages us more in a way of exhortation or urging where he may even have to correct us and warn us and convict us of wrongdoing in order to get us to turn about, to turn away from what is evil, and to follow the ways of righteousness.

So, my point here is that if someone is truly exercising spiritual gifts of the Spirit of God in biblical ways, then this is going to involve the kind of love which feels good to our emotions but also the kind of love that may not feel good, at the moment, but what is needed, and what is necessary, and what is truly loving and kind. For it is thinking about what the other person truly needs and not just about how it is going to make them feel at the moment. And this involves laying our lives down for others for their ultimate good.

But there is a balance to be required here. We can be overly harsh, and that is not good, and we can be overly soft, and that is not good. Jesus is a wonderful example for us in how he dealt with other people and in the words that he spoke to them and in the things that he did for them. He had the right balance, but then he is God. But he was still man, too, when he walked this earth. So just because someone is called of God to speak the truth of the Scriptures, in love, that is not to be taken as being unloving or unkind.

For, again, agape love prefers what God prefers which is all that is honest, faithful, upright, and morally pure, etc. And so agape love is not going to compromise the truth of the gospel and the teachings of the Scriptures in order to make people feel good. For we can encourage other humans in ways that do not compromise truth and righteousness and godliness and still be loving and kind. Again, balance! But balance is not compromise when it comes to biblical truth and righteousness and obedience to our Lord.

Yet it is true that if we have spiritual gifts, but we do not exercise them in agape love, then we have gained nothing. And this doesn’t require that everyone else see that what we are doing is “love,” but that we are truly doing for others what is in preference to what God prefers, which is all that is righteous, godly, morally pure, and honest, etc. and which does not compromise truth and righteousness just to make people feel good so that they will like us and not think evil of us. Again, Jesus is our example.

You Loved Me

An Original Work / December 3, 2019
A song based off the poem by the same name

When I was lonely and afflicted,
You were there to pick me up.
You took me in Your arms,
And You held me tenderly.

Your love embraced me.
Your grace sustained me.

When my heart cried out to You
In my fear and my despair,
You never turned away,
But You let me know You loved me.

Your grace forgave me.
You did not shame me.

Then, when I answered the call,
“Here, Lord, send me.”
You sent me to where I must be.
Your mercy held me, did not fail me.
All this, You had planned, to use me.

And, when all trials and scorn
Came to test me.
You gave me all that I would need.
You strengthened me so I’d not fail You.
Your kindness blessed me, it touched me.

And, when I needed the church
To lift up me,
To hearten me so I’d not fail,
You blessed me with folks who would love me.
Their presence with me, Your praise hailed!

And, when I walked through the valley
Of the shadow of the death,
And tears flowed from my eyes,
Still Your kindness was there for me.

Your touch, it healed me.
For I believed You.

When now I think about the ways,
Of the many, many ways
That You in Your great love
Show me that You’ll always care for me,

My heart, it thanks You,
And gladness fills me, fills me.

I believe that this article is very well balanced, and I agree with it's author.
Justice and Mercy can indeed walk together, even on this issue of immigration.

I was thinking about how I use the gift of tongues, and working out when I am speaking in genuine tongues and when I may not be. I came to the conclusion that the intended purpose of tongues for me is during my private prayer time with God where He is the sole listener to the language I am praying. In answer to my question whether the tongues would be genuine if I submitted an example to a linguist, I concluded that doing that would be outside of its intended purpose and it would be gibberish instead of tongues. This is why every example of tongues submitted to linguists has turned out not to be identified as a genuine language, It is not the intended purpose of tongues to be tested by linguists, therefore it would be gibberish spoken in the flesh and not the Spirit.

Also, for me, speaking audibly in the hearing of others would be outside of its intended purpose, therefore it would probably be in the flesh because Paul did not recommend that tongues be used in public gatherings without interpretation. But through the sovereignty of God, there is the exception to the rule, where, in my case, I was praying quietly in tongues during a church service and my NZ Maori friend sitting beside me told me that I was speaking in fluent Maori language and what I was saying was encouragement to her. In a church prayer meeting where there was a visitor from Ghana, my friend was praying in tongues (in that Pentecostal prayer meeting they all did), and Badu, the Ghanaian stopped the prayer meeting and told my friend that he was praising God in his own rural village dialect. There was no way my friend could have known that dialect. Therefore, God, through His sovereign will, caused those tongues to be understandable languages for the express purpose of encouraging those select people.

It is the same with healing. We know that divine healing is not guaranteed by demand, but God can and does heal through His sovereign will, even though He might not bestow the actual gift of healing on anyone these days.

So when I pray to God in tongues privately according to 1 Corinthians 14:2 where in that environment I am speaking mysteries in the Spirit, then my prayer language is genuine; but if I use the gift outside of its intended purpose for me it would be through the flesh and not the spirit, and so it would be meaningless syllables and words. So my advice is for those who are unsure about whether their prayer language is genuine or not, to seek the Lord and find out from Him what the intended purpose is for them in how they are to exercise the gift of tongues.

THE HAGUE -- Dries van Agt, the Christian Democrat prime minister of the Netherlands from 1977 until 1982, has died by euthanasia, “hand in hand” together with his wife, according to the human rights organization he founded. They both were 93.

It seems I alredy introduced myself, but it seems the post got lost somewhere, this is a pasted version of my intro.
Christian Chat Forum

Hello Christian Chat dwellers
I am a messianic Jew.
Also a student of the bible.

Many Christian Forums do not accept questions or comments that do not strictly conforms to their favourite belief structure, and do not consider such ones to be Christians.
I do understand that to some extent, there are subjects that I avoid as well.

My belief is built upon only one precept taken from the bible.

"If you believe anything make sure you have the scriptural statement to back it up".

If you can put up with that, perhaps I will be allowed to stay a while.

Shalom

So, ive been talking to this friend of mine. She and I have been getting much closer recently, and we've discussed actually getting together as a couple. Suddenly, out of nowhere, I get this thought, telling me if I start dating her I will die. Now I wouldnt have thought anything of this, but this thought really seemed to be coming from somewhere BIGGER then me. Like it came out of gut? If that makes sense? Not a normal thought, more of a voice or an inner feeling. Is this God warning me? What is happening?? I feel crazy for even asking this.

Please Pray that I Never Ever be like the Unforgiving servant in the Matthew 18:21-35 Unforgiving servant parable

Report released that proves Biden mishandled classified information as a citizen. Of course, there is no expectation of charges filed because he's a Democrat and only Republicans face jail time for that sort of thing. But then Biden proceeds to make a press conference and lie about the details. Well...maybe he just forgot because his memory is that bad. Either way, another case where a Democrat commits a crime and everyone shrugs their shoulders while demanding severe punishment for a Republican.

...but what about the Christian left?

There are many videos on Youtube criticising ministries that don't dot all the Is and cross all the Ts in their doctrine. For example, a well known healing evangelist who in later years had a vision of a 90ft Jesus telling him to raise the finance to build a hospital in his city. Yet this evangelist has preached the Gospel involving Jesus dying on the Cross for us. Another one is a new deceased world-wide evangelist who was well known for preaching the Gospel and winning thousands to Christ, and yet he was on friendly terms with the pope, Mormon and Muslim leaders. And a 19th Century pastor and evangelist whose sermons have blessed multitudes of people from then until now, but was a mason. As a result of the faults and failings of these preachers, they are condemned as false teachers. But is this condemnation fair? I don't think so.

The Scripture says that we have the treasure in earthen vessels, and that we have partial knowledge and those who prophesy do it partially. Also, there were OT saints who had grievous faults (Moses having fits of anger, David committing adultery and murder, Solomon marrying pagan wives, Samson having affairs with different women; yet all these were seen by God as having good hearts, One king of Israel is reported as being right with God in his heart, but not all his actions were right.

There is a major difference between a preacher or pastor whose heart is right with God, and whose desire is to glorify God but through his faults and failings sometimes gets it wrong and makes a hash of things; and the man or woman whose heart is not right with God, who is self seeking, greedy for money, and a deliberate heretic. I think we are going to have some surprises at the judgment, where the preachers we think are false turn out to be true, and those we think are true turn out to be false. How are we to know? God looks on the heart. We have seen in church history that both Arminians, who believe we can be saved today and lost tomorrow, and Calvinists who believe in once saved always saved, had very successful soul winning ministries because they preached the Gospel of Christ.

The trouble is that we tend, because of our sinful nature, to mark our own faults with a road marker, and the faults of others with a drafting pencil. When we look at a ministry those who are perfectionists, see the glass as half empty instead of half full.

A good indication is what Paul said: "If anyone comes preaching another gospel than the one we preached to you, let him be accursed." When the disciples complained about someone casting out demons who was not part of their own party, Jesus said, "Leave them alone because who is for us is not against us." Paul spoke of those who preached the Gospel out of envy and jealousy, but at least they preached the Gospel so they shouldn't be rejected as false and heretical.

So the test of a ministry is not whether they have faults or failings, but whether they are preaching the Gospel of Christ - Jesus and Him crucified and risen again., or if they are preaching another gospel and presenting another Jesus not of the Jesus of the Bible. For example, Post-Modern Liberalists don't believe in an historical Jesus, nor do they see God as a real person, but as a concept. They are preaching a gospel, not as Paul preached it, and therefore they are false and Paul said that if they come teaching a doctrine that is contrary to the doctrine of Christ, then they should be totally rejected, not greeted, or welcomed into our homes, otherwise we are being partakers of their heresies.

But a healing evangelist who preached the Gospel, did what he could to get sick people healed, but had continual battles with alcoholism, should be condemn and reject him because of his struggle with the flesh, a struggle that we all have? Or the other healing evangelist who had a gluttony problem that eventually caused his death, and yet he faithfully preached the Gospel, do we condemn him as well?

According to the Biblical evidence and church history, we see that God has used very imperfect vessels to bring the Gospel to the unconverted. This is the miracle, that vessels with sometimes serious faults and failings can bring many to Christ. This shows that it is the Song and not the singer.

Attorney who secretly slipped abortion pills in wife’s drink 7 times because pregnancy would ‘ruin his plans’ sentenced to 6 months​

A 39-year-old attorney in Texas will spend less than six months behind bars after admitting to sneaking abortion-inducing drugs into his soon-to-be ex-wife’s beverages for weeks after learning about her pregnancy.

Mason Herring had previously pleaded guilty to one count of assault of a pregnant person and one count of injury to a child under age 15. In exchange for his plea, prosecutors with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office dismissed one count of assault — forcing an individual to have an abortion.

[I guess it's fortunate for him that this was before the Dobbs decision.]

In the wake of additional allegations against its founder Mike Bickle, the International House of Prayer Kansas City (IHOPKC) cut off the livestream feed for the 24-7 prayer room that has defined its movement.

On Thursday night, the display read, “IHOPKC is entering a season of prayer and repentance.” The day before, the Kansas City Star ran a story on a woman who said Bickle abused her as a 14-year-old in the ’80s, when she was his family’s babysitter and he was a pastor in St. Louis.

IHOPKC released a statement condemning Bickle’s “predatory and abusive” actions, standing by his victims, and apologizing for its initial response of allowing him to defend himself when accusations surfaced last fall.

As various individuals from different perspectives have tried so hard to let me know, I'm not in with the status quo with how I perceive and evaluate the world. in which we live. Apparently, and according to others, I have a few major deficiencies in my mental logic circuits. This is the evaluation I've been given by more than one person because I refuse to instantly and completely jump on board with the currently favored political, religious (or irreligious), and/or scientific angle of entry that I am expected to conform to in order to be considered 'sane.'

Or maybe I'm discordant with what others expect of me because my own existential starting point isn't and has never been (and can't be) the same one that they have found themselves starting with. We all begin our experiences and our appraisals of the world in which we live at different places and what a few folks don't seem to realize is that their chosen criterion by which to measure aspects of the Reality isn't necessarily the 'sure, absolute' thing that they've assume their criterion to be. It also just might be that their criterion (or criteria if there's more than one) for what constitutes knowledge isn't quite as clear, simple, straightforward, objective or as well defined idea as they'd like to think it is.

And in essential accordance with the topics and statements made in the following video, here's why I disagree and am at odds with my critics ...

3 Paradoxes That Will Change the Way You Think About Everything​

State can set some rules about elections.

... and why aren't they standing?

Prompted by the last two thread titles:

How would an 82 year old Biden govern as president?

Trump team argues assassination of rivals is covered by presidential immunity​

On May 27, 2021, Chief Rosanne Casimir of the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation announced that ground penetrating radar (GPR) technology had located the remains of 215 children on the grounds of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School located in British Columbia, Canada.

The news was readily accepted and publicly grieved by every society figurehead and institution.

On May 28, The New York Times ran with the headline, ‘Horrible History’: Mass Grave of Indigenous Children Reported in Canada.’

Three days following the press conference, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued an apology for those “whose lives were taken” at Kamloops. He ordered Canadian flags to be flown at half-mast and they would remain lowered for nearly six months, raised a few days before Nov. 11, only to be lowered again for Remembrance Day.

Pope Francis spoke of “the shocking discovery of the remains of 215 children” in his June 6 Angelus address.

Taking their lead from the Pope, church communities quickly reacted. In the following weeks, many congregations set out 215 pairs of child-size shoes on their front steps.

Between the half-mast flags and the little shoes, Canada was covered that summer by a pall of grief that extended from sea to sea to sea.

The grief quickly turned to anger. A wave of church burnings and vandalisms ensued. The violence continues to this day. According to the media outlet True North, some 96 churches have been burned, damaged or desecrated in the last two and a half years. As recently as December, two Alberta churches were burned to the ground. Trudeau noted that though burning churches was wrong, the anger was “real and … fully understandable, given the shameful history that we are all becoming more and more aware of.”

However, it seems that the high tide of collective guilt has finally started to pull out and the retreat has left behind the detritus of what some now say was a “moral panic.”

The incremental shift in public sentiment is in part due the absence of bodies.

To date no excavations have taken place in Kamloops, despite the federal government allocating CAN $7.9 million for the task in August 2021.

Netanyahu has rejected Hamas’ demands for a hostage deal, which includes an end to the war and the release of hundreds of veteran Palestinian prisoners serving long sentences in Israel for deadly attacks carried out as part of the long-running conflict. Netanyahu dismissed Hamas’ demands as delusional, even as Blinken said he believes continued negotiations, through mediators Egypt and Qatar, are possible.
Once again Netanyahu takes the time to evacuate civilians.

Michael Mann, a prominent climate scientist, won his long-standing legal battle against two right-wing bloggers who claimed that he manipulated data in his research and compared him to convicted child molester Jerry Sandusky, a major victory for the outspoken researcher.

A jury in a civil trial in Washington on Thursday found that the two writers, Rand Simberg and Mark Steyn, defamed and injured the researcher in a pair of blog posts published in 2012, and awarded him more than $1 million.

The verdict is a dozen years in the making for the climatologist, who for decades has been a target of right-wing critics over his famous “hockey stick” graph.

Simberg was found liable for statements that compared Mann to Sandusky but was cleared on other statements criticizing Mann’s scientific work.

During closing arguments, Steyn, a radio and TV personality who spoke for himself during much of the trial, said he still “stand{s} on the truth of every word I wrote about Michael Mann, his fraudulent hockey stick and the corrupt investigative process at Penn State.”

Hi,

Today I sat down and started writing a book on predestination vs free will, called The Way and Free Will. If you have time have a read and let me know if it is lacking any content you would like to see. It can be found at The Way and Free Will in its current version.

Wonder if this will be entered into VAERS as adverse vaccine reaction?

Now I don't want to make this too deep, but ever since I became a full believer in Jesus I've seen roadblocks being removed, previous ambitions being lifted off me etc. And before I became a believer I could see how the world was turning like something major was being built up to, it's something I've seen for many years. As I see it now from the perspective of a believer is that we are in the the season which has been prophesied, the end of days.

And it's kinda funny to me because it has been a running joke of christians saying we are in the season in like forever...

And it has gotten me to be complacent with where I am at, in terms of building myself a stronger worldly foundation. And that's not good if I'm wrong because there are areas which should be improved. Being OK with where I'am at because the tide will come at this night (very soon) to wash away my sandcastle anyway so I keep my focus on more important things.

I just want some input / advice on this, it is a concern of mine.

At the end of the book of John, it tells us who the author of this book is. It tells us that the "one whom Jesus loved" was the one who wrote the book of John. It says:
"Peter turned around and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them—the one who also had leaned back on His chest at the supper and said, “Lord, who is the one who is betraying You?” So Peter, upon seeing him, said to Jesus, “Lord, and what about this man?” Jesus said to him, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me!” Therefore this account went out among the brothers, that that disciple would not die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but only, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?” This is the disciple who is testifying about these things and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true." John 21:20-24
So, we know that whoever was known to be the one whom Jesus loved the most was the author of the book of John.
Now if we look through the book of John it mentions "the one whom Jesus loved" several times. The first time this phrase is used was with Lazurus when he was sick and about to die. It says, "Now a certain man was sick: Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. And it was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. So, the sisters sent word to Him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick." John 11:3
Then, when Lazurus died, it says in John 11:35-36 that Jesus wept and that the Jews were so amazed that they said, "See how He loved him!" It is even said with an exclamation mark to show how much the Jews stressed this point. Jesus loved Lazarus a lot.
Then a little further on in John 13:23, we see the disciple whom Jesus loved again. In this text, it does not mention any names but one of the disciples is leaning on Jesus' bosom. This disciple was loved by Jesus. "Lying back on Jesus’ chest was one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved". This person who leaned on Jesus' breast is confirmed to be the author of the book of John as previously mentioned in John 21:20-24.

There are other verses too that mention the author of the book of John. That is, "the one that Jesus loved." There is John 19:26, John 20:2-8 and John 21:7.

My question is, how do we know that it was John who wrote this book when if we read it, the evidence says it was Lazurus?

Now I am going to tell you a story before I get into this passage of Scripture for today because it relates to what this passage of Scripture is teaching. I am a participant in social media, specifically the one called Facebook, which is a social media internet site. If you are unfamiliar with what that is, it is a place on the internet where people can gather together and interact with one another in a social setting. Now this is not a Christian site, but from what I have experienced, it is also not anti-Christian (in America). So right now I have the freedom to share my daily devotions on that site.

Now Facebook has many sub-groups which are special interest groups that you can join and where you can also socialize and interact with other people who may not be your friends but who are people who share common interests with you, which may or may not be Christian, per se, but not anti-Christian. For example, I have joined several of these groups as a way to connect with other people who have common interests and experiences. And one of those groups is for people who graduated from the same high school that I did, which was Akron (Ohio, USA) East High (I graduated in 1968).

The name of the man who started this group is Bob. And a few weeks back Bob started something new which he calls “weekly wins.” And this is a place where people can share something positive that happened to them during the week that encouraged them, and thus it serves also as an encouragement to others. And again, this is not a Christian group, per se, but it is not anti-Christian, which is nice. And so these weekly wins may cover a vast array of subjects, but are usually just simple things that happen in people’s lives which serve to encourage them even in small ways.

Now, I find that particularly encouraging. I really enjoy reading people’s “weekly wins,” even some of the simplest ones of all. I think I enjoy them the most because of the simplicity of them. And sometimes it literally brings me to happy tears just reading their “weekly wins.” And so this is one of the highlights of my week now. Why? Because we, as human beings, Christian and non-Christian alike, need encouragement. And I don’t mean all just pats on the back, either, but sometimes we need to be encouraged away from the bad stuff and to do what is good and right and just and kind and loving.

Anyway, another thing that Bob has initiated is that weekly he makes it a point to thank certain people for their participation in the group for that week, and he encourages us to do likewise, i.e. to thank other people for their participation. I like that, as well, for it is encouraging other people.

When I got on the internet this morning my passage of Scripture for today was on the subject of being thankful for other people. And I had to smile! Now, in context, the passage is speaking of Christian to Christian and in specific context of their walks of faith in Jesus Christ. And this is something that Christians should be doing with other Christians if they are aware of their walks of faith. But we should also be doing the kind of encouragement that is regarded as exhortation which involves encouraging people away from things which are bad/evil and toward what is good/righteous.

But we should be people who are in the practice of encouraging all people, and who are thanking them when they share something that is good or when they do something that is good, for we all need encouragement. Now we should not encourage anything that is anti-Christian or that goes against our moral values or that is something that in good conscience that we cannot support. But when we see kindness, love, generosity, helpfulness, etc. taking place in people’s lives toward other people, we should encourage that. We should even be thankful for those who urge others away from what is evil.

So, anyway, the Lord was impressing it upon my heart this morning that we need to be people who make it our practice to encourage other people and who thank them for their kindness, even if it is not towards us, but if it is towards someone else. For all human beings need to be encouraged in some way or another, but according to our own consciences and what we believe we can encourage them in or be thankful for. For this needs to be sincere from our hearts and not fake. We have enough fakery in the world. We need more people who are real and honest.

So, yes, Christian to Christian we need to be encouraging what we can see ourselves if it is something that doesn’t go against the Scriptures or that doesn’t go against our moral values, etc. We need to be encouraging others in their walks of faith and obedience to the Lord so that they do not get discouraged and disheartened. And we need to be urging one another away from all that is evil and toward all that is good in the eyes of God. And we need to be thanking one another for our contributions to the encouragement of the body of Christ which includes urgings and exhortations, too.

But be people who make it your practice to be encouragers and those who thank others for what they do that is good, and to all people, not just to other Christians. For we all need encouragement and we all need to hear someone say, “Thank you,” from time to time. But we should not do what we do to get the praise of humans, but we should do what we do that is good regardless of whether or not we are acknowledged at all by other humans, and even if others are mean and hateful towards us. But we should make it our practice to thank others for the good that they do. And that’s the point!

But we should never neglect to thank the Lord and to give him the glory and the honor and the praise for what he has done and for what he is doing in and through our lives, as his followers, and for his glory and praise. We should always give credit where credit is due and not take the credit for ourselves for what we know God is doing and has done in our lives to make us into the people of God that he created us to be. “And if I gain any praise let it go to Calvary” (taken from the song “My Tribute” by Andrae Crouch).
