Biblical preferences will not stand up against the persuasive pleasures of this world and its corrupt culture. Therefore, we must have biblical conviction. Conviction comes from a connection with God and the presence of the Holy Spirit.
Conviction in a corrupt culture cultivates the great commission, calls to God in a community of prayer and praise, credits God for His power, and is commended too and surrendered to the kingdom of God.
If all we have when it comes to our Christian belief system is a strong preference, then our strong preference to follow and honor God can be corrupted by a mere persuasive, worldly, and corrupt argument.
"May we be a church that serves, may we be a church that loves, may we be a church that uses our freedom that we stand firm in immovable because Christ has set us free, we are free indeed."
"Christian joy is a feeling in your inner most being that comes from God when you encounter Jesus and you are fulfilled in Him. Joy is seeing the beauty of Jesus."
