A good quote

[joyfulthanks]

I saw this recently (in a guitar book!) and thought it was good:

"To know and not to do is not yet to know." -Jamey Andreas

How much do we think we know about being Christians? How much are we actually doing what we know?

I, for one, do not yet know as I ought to know.

-Grace

In agreement. When younger I thought I'd know a lot more by this age than I do!! LOL!! Hugs.

A state of mind that sees God in everything is evidence of growth in grace and a thankful heart.

The circumstances amid which you live determine your reputation; the truth you believe determines your character. Reputation is what you are supposed to be; charaacter is what you are. Reputation is the photograph; character is the face. Reputation comes over one from without; character grows up from within. Reputation is what you have when you come to a new community; character is what you have when you go away. Your reputation is learned in an hour; your character is built in a lifetime. Reputation grows like a mushroom; character grows like the oak. A single newspaper report gives you your reputation, a life of toil gives you your character. Reputation makes you rich or makes you poor; character makes you happy or makes you miserable. Reputation is what men say about you on your tombstone; character is what the angels say about you before the throne of God.

Tts 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny [him], being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

1Jo 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

1Jo 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him

God says if you are not doing then you don't know

 

[JPPT1974]

Romans 12:19:For I say unto you, Vegenance is mine, I will repay saith the Lord.

James 2:13:Judgement is without mercy to the one who hasn't shown mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgement.

 

[InHisPeace]

How much do we think we know about being Christians? How much are we actually doing what we know?

I want to know more about being a Christ Follower, seeking and listening only to Him. He is the revealer of truth.

Blessings!

Until the will and the affections are brought under the authority of Christ, we have not begun to understand, let alone to accept, His lordship.

Don't bow down to the authority
Of the world but bow down to the
Authority of Jesus as He has all things
And everybody under heaven and earth!

It is wisdom to use your influence. It is criminal to sell it.
