  • BUILDERS | Character Builders

    Problems help you to face the real you. You don't meet him or her otherwise. You never get a chance to watch the real you from a distance until then. Problems expose the real you.

    Every circumstance a Christian faces in life, good or bad, has been designed by God for his benefit, so he/she should face them “in Christ” and rejoice in and thank God for them.----more----

    Every circumstance a Christian faces in life, good or bad, has been designed by God for his benefit, so he should face them “in Christ” and rejoice in and thank God for them. Facing problems or dealing with certain people causes you pain from the world's perspective, but they conform you to the image of Christ, then you will not pray "comfort me Lord", instead you will pray "conform me Lord".

    John C. Maxwell when he talks about building character, He says,

    Some people are born mud and remain mud.... Sadly, some are born marble and die mud; some are born mud, dream of marble, but remain mud. But many persons of high character have been born mud and died marble.”

  • Free, But Not Cheap

    Grace is free as we didn't pay for it. But it is not cheap. That means once we obtain grace we can never neglect or ignore or treat grace cheaply. Grace is Free, but it is costly because it cost God the life of His own Son. Grace is an attribute of our God. We can either allow or resist grace in our lives. ----more----We should never resist grace by our bitterness, pride and by relying on our flesh. We must instead allow grace in times of our weakness, our needs and in our sufferings.
