Relationship
Excerpts from “What Does Biblical Relationship Look Like” by Scott Croft

All the great temptations appear first in the region of the mind and can be fought and conquered there. We have been given the power to close the door of the mind. We can lose this power through disuse or increase it by use, by the daily discipline of the inner man in things which seem small and by reliance upon the word of the Spirit of truth. It is God that worketh in you, both to will and to do...

All the ruin that sin has wrought must be cleared away by confession. Things must be made right with God; restitution must be made where it is due.

If God wants you to do something, he’ll make it possible for you to do it, but the grace he provides comes only with the task and cannot be stockpiled beforehand.
