Doing so stimulates hope, courage, and faith.” <br /><br />“When we see Christians who do not exhibit Christian character or produce good fruit, we ought to ask why. What is missing? Peter's answer is, 'These people have forgotten who they are' (2 Peter 1:9). They have lost sight of their identity in Christ, so they do not realize the resources that are theirs. Because of this, they fail to live with hope, faith, and courage.” <br /><br />“This gospel identity and its amazing resources are a powerful defense in the war for our hearts. As people step out in new obedience, the Enemy will come to them and say, 'You don't have what it takes to do this. If only you had _____ or ______, then maybe you could, but you don't.' In these moments, the war for the heart is a war of identity. How people respond to Satan's attacks depends on the identity they have embraced.”Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877189592741668088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6986849312523131089.post-89776546977896609102010-07-25T08:26:57.987-05:002010-07-25T08:26:57.987-05:00Thanks for sharing this -- it's very well writ...Thanks for sharing this -- it's very well written.<br /><3Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10296558821768341452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6986849312523131089.post-58049179188328476492010-07-24T21:15:49.576-05:002010-07-24T21:15:49.576-05:00My father use to always say "remember where t...My father use to always say "remember where there is one deer, there is always another one" I think this comes from growing up in New England. Not as meaningful as what your father said but your story reminded me of what he always said.Kianoreply@blogger.com
