Grace is a disposition, that springs from knowing and growing in Christ and blossoms into behaviour that reflects the actual behaviour of Christ as He mixed and mingled with people unlike Himself. 

Naturally speaking, we gravitate towards doing the wrong thing – not the right thing.  The right thing is invariably more difficult than the wrong thing. But you will never be the loser for doing the right thing. The Lord is able to give you much more.

More important than whether one is tone-deaf is whether one has a song to sing. Not all do. This Bible Bite looks forward to a day when tone deafness will not exist and Christians will sing on-key the universal anthem of praise.

Christ's love for us and my love for Him is the secret to how we expend our energies, deploy our abilities, spend our time and yes, live our lives. Good works and faithful service flow from a heart that throbs with love for Christ.

We enjoy safe roads and drivers who operate their vehicles with due care and attention. Standard Field Sobriety Tests are used by police to determine the likelihood of impairment or driving under the influence. Spiritually, there is a very reliable road test to determine deviations and influences along the Christian pathway of walking in the truth.

When the burdens are heavy, and the sky of Christian experience is dark and bleak, where is the Lord? Does He know? Does He care? The Lord not only knows, but He knows how. He will carry you.

Now is the perfect time to ensure your essential daily routines include a dedicated time and plan for reading the Word of God. The daily intake of Scripture nurtures our spiritual growth, equips us for life's challenges, and strengthens our relationship with the Lord.

There is nothing more important in our lives than enjoying Christ. A doctrinally sound appreciation for the Person of Christ is essential to our Christian lives. May this Christmas be a Christ-centered season for all of us.
