Godly Composure w/Joy

[rocknanchor]

The chasm of factions the world offers today leaves the traveler with feelings ‘life is impassable lest I identify with this or that.’ Lest we should lose sight of “not to be easily disconcerted or alarmed,“ (2 Thessalonians 2:2)

But make no mistake, these feelings are not assigned to the weak alone but strong as well. Far too many of our brothers are letting the distraction (which deserves a close eye) intercept their own progress.

What is it that causes the churchgoing to be moved from their own composure?

Definitely. Many times recall Scripture such as:

"A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones." (Pro 17:22), Plus joy is a fruit of the Spirit (Gal 5:22).

Also, there are many purposes for speaking in tongues including magnifying God (Acts 10:46).. Another one is "He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself..." I Cor 14:4

Praying in tongues for extended periods of time improves our immune systems by 35 to 40%. Research by Dr Carl Petersen, ORU, brain specialist.

Far too many of our brothers are letting the distraction (which deserves a close eye) intercept their own progress.

To hear of it described as such may never come your way. It is however easier seen / spoken by the fruits of some which says,

'A life of piety is neither possible nor acceptable, enjoy the moment!'
