The Joy that is of God

By: billnieporte | Date: November 20, 2011 | Categories: "I'm Just Saying...", Grace Notes

From Bill Coffin, in Credo

The joy that is of God is not opposed to earthly pleasures.  Rather it infuses them with a foundation of meaning.

Joy is the most important of Christian emotion.  Duty calls only when gratitude fails to pompt.

( Another way of saying this might be:  “Legalism will have reign over us if we are not living out of the abundance of God’s grace!” – BN)

Another from Coffin:  We want God to be strong so we can be weak.  But He wants us to be weak so we can be strong.
