Self-interest makes it really hard to look on a handicap or a limitation as a gift.

Welcome to the inside out, upside down realities of the Kingdom of God!

When our credibility, our accomplishments, or our status is challenged or unfavorably compared, it’s hard not to react defensively with a little bragging of our own.

It’s not the position you hold, it’s the people and churches you hold in your heart.

We could all do with a little wisdom from Proverbs on this one.

God’s plan for me excludes everything outside the boundaries he has set for me.

Comparing sets a wrongly-based standard of measurement.

Authority is a good idea! In fact authority is a God idea!

If the Lord is the only one who can see the heart and judge correctly, maybe we’d all be better off to simply stop judging others altogether!

It’s good for us to remember that our greatest Spiritual Battles are often fought in our own minds as we stand firm against the lies and accusations of Satan clad in our armor of salvation, faith, and truth!
