[carry on in preaching the Gospel]<BR/><BR/>It made me realize that it's something I want to remember in raising up our children. To not only pray and hope they live in Christ for the benefit of their own lives, but to have such excitement that they too SHARE the Gospel throughout their lives. And that I help prepare them for such a great mission!<BR/><BR/>(Thanks so much for leading this study for us, Julie!)In Light of the Truth...https://www.blogger.com/profile/00360754933373477880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420615125517434319.post-66290366512666319782007-10-20T05:25:00.000-05:002007-10-20T05:25:00.000-05:00It is best with us, when our duty becomes natural ...It is best with us, when our duty becomes natural to us. Naturally, that is, sincerely, and not in pretence only; with a willing heart and upright views. We are apt to prefer our own credit, ease, and safety, before truth, holiness, and duty; but Timothy did not so. Paul desired liberty, not that he might take pleasure, but that he might do good. Epaphroditus was willing to go to the Philippians, that he might be comforted with those who had sorrowed for him when he was sick. It seems, his illness was caused by the work of God. The apostle urges them to love him the more on that account. It is doubly pleasant to have our mercies restored by God, after great danger of their removal; and this should make them more valued. What is given in answer to prayer, should be received with great thankfulness and joy.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275456448997619944noreply@blogger.com
