  1. If obedience is a personal act of worship, then disobedience is personal too. Every sin is a violation of relationship-a sin against God.
  2. The focus of your obedience is not on a set of laws, but on the One who gave those laws who is your Lord, Savior, Friend and King.
  3. Obedience is much more than begrudging duty to abstract rules. No, it is a moment by moment means of personally celebrating grace.
  4. There are some days when I don't want God to be sovereign - I want to be sovereign, thank you! How about you? facebook.com/notes/paul-dav…
  5. No one was hardwired by the Creator to go it on his own, to try to do so not only ignores your spirituality, it denies your humanity.
  6. The life we couldn't live, he lived for us. The death we should've died, he died for us. The new life we need he gives to us.
  7. If your God's child, your spiritual life is not secured by the level of your righteousness, but by the perfect righteousness of Christ.
  8. Grace guarantees your future while it gives you everything you need to get there.
  9. God writes your story and he empowers you by grace to live inside it's plot.
  10. The submission and obedience that God calls you to he always empowers by his grace.
  11. Corporate worship is designed to remind you how devastating your need is and how gargantuan your hope in Christ is.
  12. Today you'll work to deny your sin or you'll receive the Spirit's conviction as grace and run for rescue and forgiveness.
  13. Today you'll work to prove to yourself that you're independently righteous or you'll joyfully rest in the righteousness of Christ.
  14. Today you'll treat yourself like a grace graduate or you'll affirm that yesterday you gave evidence of your ongoing need for grace.
  15. Today you'll be frustrated because you lack the power to author your own story or you'll rest in the wisdom of the One who writes your plot.
  16. Today you'll harden your heart by defending as good the wrongs you've done or you'll run to the forgiving grace of your Redeemer.
  17. Today you'll envy the blessings of another or you'll bask in the wonder of the amazing grace you have been given.
  18. Find comfort, because the mess of relationships that we deal with everyday is on almost every page of the Bible. facebook.com/note.php?saved…
  19. Today you'll wonder if you'll have enough or you'll tell yourself, "The Lord will provide," and in faith you'll move forward.
  20. Today you will be haunted by "What ifs?" or you'll rest in the wisdom of the One who rules everything that is.
