Duct-Tape Fix vs. Real Fix


Listen Later

Have you ever fixed something with tape? It may work for a short time, but it falls apart with too much stress.

Have you been choosing a quick-fix for your problems? Do your relationships need some help?

Here’s some help fighting unforgiveness, pride, and foolish unbelief.

Let’s ask God to help us believe His Word. The Holy Spirit can make it real to our hearts. Receive the forgiveness offered to you by the blood of Jesus. Receive the humility of Jesus. Receive meekness so you can believe these truths from the Bible.

In conclusion, the doctrine that God is incomparable is useful to God’s people by way of comfort. When we take the incomparable God as our God, we are incomparably blessed. People are as happy and miserable as the god whom they serve, for nothing can provide more happiness than it has in itself. Those who serve the flesh as their god are miserable (Romans 16:18; Philippians 3:18) because their god is vile, weak, deceitful, and transitory (Psalm 49:20, 73:25; Isaiah 31:3; Jeremiah 17:9). Similarly, those who prize the world as their god are miserable because their god is vain, troublesome, uncertain, and fleeting (Ecclesiastes 1:2-3, 5:10; 1 Corinthians 7:29-31; I Timothy 6:9-10). But those who have an interest in this great God are happy: “Happy is that people whose God is the LORD” (Psalm 144:15).

George Swinnock (1627-1673) The Blessed and Boundless God

To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Revelation 1:5-6
