Chapter Four of Pastor Rob's book, "Enjoying the Goodness of God" read by the author. It is righteous to declare what Jesus has done for you. It is self-righteous to declare what you are going to do for Jesus. Stop trying to clean yourself up. Come boldly, just as you are, to His throne of grace to obtain mercy and grace in time of need. When you consent to receive an abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness, Jesus will cause you to reign in life victorious over sin, oppression and condemnation. He will fill you with peace and joy. He will make you the head and not the tail, above and not beneath. He will bless you when you come in and bless you when you go out. THAT is reigning in life with Christ Jesus!

Chapter Three of Pastor Rob's book, "Enjoying the Goodness of God" read by the author. Depression flees from the revelation of the goodness of God. I knew Jesus was not disappointed in me and it had nothing to do with my behavior. It was because I was His son. However, the more I grew up in the Lord, the more I began to expect my behavior to be perfect in order for me to consider myself as righteous before the Lord. Though I did not realize what I was doing, I was trying to be righteous in myself. So one day, when I no longer felt righteous (a sure sign of condemnation or self-righteousness), I no longer believed I was righteous. By believing I must act right in order to be righteous, I had fallen from grace! Have you received the gift of righteousness, or are you still trying to earn it?

As this book unveils the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, new strength and joy will fill your heart. You cannot earn it. Just read and allow Jesus to be your shepherd. He will feed His sheep.

Introduction of Pastor Rob's book, "Enjoying the Goodness of God" read by the author.

Perhaps as I once was, you may be overwhelmed by life and its never-ending list of expectations for which you have few options. limited resources and little strength. You may have lost the joy of your salvation and any hope of enjoying life. Your hopes have been shattered so many times that you may even feel like God has forgotten you and let you down. And like Cleopas after Jesus was crucified, a sadness has filled your heart. You may have determined just to survive. But Jesus dies so you could enjoy life, NOT just survive it!

As your heart hears of His grace towards you, faith will fill your heart and enable you to have and enjoy life, in abundance, to the full, till it overflows!
