Quote of the Day

I resist the Devil because I submit to God. That's why. That's what makes the devil flee. He's not afraid of us - that'd be like puny little me holding my fist up to the gigantic Devil and watching the Devil run away and think, "look at that, he was intimidated by me!" No, no; the Devil can see the limitless, almighty God that I have submitted to, that's what he runs from; and we don't want to lose sight of that.

From sermon on James 4:6-7 preached by Don Lambert

Quote of the Day

 I am participating in humbling myself but it is also in the passive which means I, in my action, my action is yielding to it. Not making myself humble, yielding to the process making me humble. And that's my humbling myself under the mighty hand of God: Yielding to the process of making myself humble. A humble self before God then can also include the idea of resignation to His all knowing gracious will. I YIELD. And I'm constantly doing it. I see what God is doing, my pride hates it, my self image is not built up by it. I yield. I yield to it. To see what God will do, and that's a good thing. 

- Don Lambert(study in James)
