I think that is a major problem with our world. Many people think they are responsible for everything they have and everything they are. They fail to give credit to our Maker and Provider of all. You have a good outlook and this is an inspiring post. Thanks for this post. I think that is a major problem with our world.

I like to think of it as holding sand in my hand. If I squeeze tightly trying to keep all the sand to myself, the sand slowly seeps out of my hand until almost none is left. If I leave my hand open, it is true someone else may take some of my sand, but with an open hand I am always ready and able to receive more. In fact our God piles so much on that it is usually running off the sides anyway. A life of abundance is so much more fun than a life of lack. Learning to appreciate the small things helps me when trouble seeps in. Lisa Downing www.lisasdowning.com Dying to self is a concept that isn’t easy to grasp.

A renewed understanding of what he has done for us, also brings a renewed gratfulnes for that.

Here's what I think Mr. Reidhead is saying; I think he's just emphasizing the need for me to serve the Lord out of a heart of pure love not because of the rewards I will get for doing so. I feel one of the earmarks of Western Christianity in general is that we've turned it into a self-help program. There's too much emphasis on the benefits of being Christian and not nearly enough on serving the Lord for His glory. Is it true that we benefit from the gospel? Oh my Yes! We're talking the difference between death and life in every imaginable way. That's why it's easy for us to get caught up in what Jesus does for us and in many ways we should - like serving out of a heart of gratefulness, but I'm afraid gratefulness is a missing ingredient once the gospel turns into a self-help program.

I don't like the idea of serving God and still going to hell at the end of the road or of trying to think whether I'd be willing to do that. Is hell anything at all to do with an incentive to keep us from sinning? I’m wrestling with this one. . .
