Affliction: our servant.
“Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.”
-Romans 8:37
So what does it mean to be a “more than conqueror”?
First, to be a conqueror in general, one must overcome the affliction at hand. Romans 8:35 lists a few things that we may allow to separate us from Christ: “tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or...

Could it be? That right after I called out to You, Father, You have opened another door to me? Lord, I am willing!!
O my God, what are You doing here?

The parable of fireworks.
I don’t know if anyone feels the same way as me when they watch fireworks, but I don’t want them to stop. The way they light up a dark sky and slowly shimmer away and are bursting with all different colors… They’re so beautiful to me. They got me thinking tonight about how beautiful God is. It’s a petty comparison, but at least it’s tangible. If I find fireworks...

What do you guys think about the 700 club?
I’m watching it right now and have mixed feelings.
