This is how God works. He puts people in positions where they are desperate for his power, and then he shows his provision in ways that display his greatness
David PlattTo be a Christian is to realize that in your sin, you were separated from God's presence, and you deserved nothing but God's wrath.
David PlattWe live in a church culture that has a dangerous tendency to disconnect the grace of God from the glory of God. Our hearts resonate with the idea of enjoying God's grace. We bask in sermons, conferences, and books that exalt a grace centering on us. And while the wonder of grace is worthy of our attention, if that grace is disconnected from its purpose, the sad result is a self-centered Christianity that bypasses the heart of God.
David PlattIn our evil we rebel against God. We take the law of God, written in his Word and on our hearts, and we disobey it.
