The life we settle for is not the normal Christian life; experiencing God’s promises should be our normal. How do we get there?

Jesus located the real need in the rich young ruler's life through questions. We need to be sure when having conversations with someone or reading the Bible that we understand the meanings of the words spoken or the words read. Words can create either a positive or negative image of God. Our perception of God and self are often “less than.” Always read the Bible from this perspective: since this is true, what manner of person should I be? Then apply these truths to your life.
